re: **Official Fallout 4 Thread** (Links and videos in OP)

I've been playing this game for a week and I feel like I'm finally beginning to understand everything. I really like the game, but I want to know with as few spoilers as possible when you have to make a choice on which faction you will side with. I want to save before this so that I can start there to play out each ending.

think the first potential path breaking quest is the battle for Bunker Hill.

I don't usually look at this thread and I started F4 late, so I'm a little behind, but I can second this. Did this quest the other day and now I've got everything messed up. I'm facing the decision now on whether to go with BoS or The Institute, and I think I may have already pissed off the railroad. It all started with Bunker Hill

Not to mention, when I showed up to the obelisk, I didn't know who the F to shoot

You should get a pop up before going forward with a certain quest saying something along the lines of "doing this will make you permanent enemies with said faction."

Make the right choice or else you'll hate life.

The happiness at one of my settlements continues to plummet. It was in the 90s and now down to 40.

Appears I must have a synth infestation, but they haven't wrecked anything and they seem to behave while I am in the settlement.

Reading up on synth infestations, evidently if I use VATS it will show energy resistances for synths. I'll test that out tonight.

Seems like most of my settlements peaked and have been dropping so I guess I have synths all over the place.

need to boost your armorer skill so you can make all your combat armor ultra light.

This play through, I am rolling with the Generals outfit with combat on top, patrolman glasses and black bandanna.

I use the extended armor mod to allow me to wear combat gear over my general's uniform. They were too lazy to fix all of the clipping issues with gear so they only allow a few undergarments to be covered with armor which is BS.

Last play through I wore combat with the silver shroud hat and suit.

Go light or pocketed

I would say no, because I didn't read that in the PC patch notes.

Earlier in Saugus ironworks after killing everyone I spent an hr dragging the bodies and dropping them in the molten iron... The sound n smoke made me laugh.

We’re also doing a complete overhaul of Fallout 4 Survival mode. Food, sleep, diseases, danger and more. Stay tuned.

That's from bethesda on Twitter

Survival mode now just ups damage and legendary enemy spawns for the moment. Apparently similar difficulty modes on past games actually requires the player to sleep, eat, drink to survive. They may be adding that in to that difficulty mode now.
