So you thought you had to unlock the perks in order from top to bottom and not just select the ones you want? Am I thinking correctly on that?

---

No, you just picks the ones you want.

There are some timed quests and they don't tell you.

I picked up a quest in Diamond City and I failed because I didn't finish on time even though I had no clue I had a time limit.

It is possible I double clicked and missed some dialog informing me I needed to go immediately.

I usually start over at about the 20 hour mark once I've learned the game a bit so this was a good point to start over and I'll pay a bit more attention now that I am rolling on my real player now.

I really want to post more in this topic, but i'm too busy playing.

1. See earlier post on Skill Tree (aim for locksmith and gun nut early on)
2. Go with pistols... Higher damage and don't waste as much ammo
3. frick the big arse mosquitos
4. Get Codsworth as a companion when dealing with ghouls
5. Do not go back to your home w/o you and your companion being maxed out with junk
6. Scrap yellow highlighted objects, save green (B Button)
7. Do not frick with deathclaws
8. Run away from deathclaws
9. Crouch early and often (mimic your skyrim character)
10. Don't sleep on charisma... It can seriously help you
11. Go to diamond city then stop with main story
12. Pick up shitty animal meat and cook it (rats and dogs work just fine)
13. Turn radios on near safes or computer you cannot open yet... Will remind you at a later date if you hear it
14. Grow tatos, mutfruit, and get a water purifier... You're gonna need adhesive... And a lot of it (usually people's limiting factor)
15. Companions can take a beating and will not die
16. Super Mutants don't handle shots to the dome well
17. Quick save often
18. Use terminals when you see them... Shutting down turrents is so nice
19. Pick up comic books and bobble heads
20. Most importantly... Don't be a pussy... Except when it comes to deathclaws

What does saving it do?

That took me a second.



So it just saves it as the item itself or the raw materials? I transferred all of my junk in my inventory to the workshop and wasn't sure what happened with it after that. Do I go to the workshop inventory and scrap it from there?

there is an infinte cap glich out there I'm tempted to use just to get ammo bc I run out often.

Don't. I can see it's tempting, but at least wait for a second playthrough.

Where do I get the fusion cores for the power armor?

They're just lying around.

I just made it to Diamond City.

I know I need to find my son, but dammit if I didn't get caught up in planting carrots and corn in Sanctuary.

I planted tamos, carrots, corn, and melon. I tried to make a house in one of the foundations of the ruined houses I scrapped but I cant get the damn walls to be long enough or they are too long and end up over the foundation. So I just built a pre-fab "large" shack and put a cooking station and bed in it I'll get back to that later.

The main house in Sanct where you start (the yellow house) I tried hooking up a generator and switch and I hooked up a few light bulbs on the front porch but they dont work I must be missing something (I ran a wire from a med generator to the switch which I put on the wall of the house so I dunno)

I went to diamond city early to get access to the Doc to remove all RADS for 40 caps instead of paying 250 for a RADAway.

If you are missing ingredients for an item you can set the game to mark the loot that has those ingredients.

Once you have the item you can transfer it to your workshop and the components will become available to use....I think.
It seems to work for me.
