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

I was playing it on normal and found it to be just right. I think the game is more difficult than FO3 or NV. The feral ghouls are just total assholes in this game.

Just got my leg blown off by a random landmine in the middle of the road
I love this game

I ran out of a building trying to get away from a mutated feral ghoul and as soon as I stepped forward outside multiple mines blew up blowing my left leg and arm off while throwing my body 100 feet into the air.

after thinking about what I did for that hour, I probably wasted too much ammo for virtually nothing...what a waste

Did you keep shooting mannequins? I bet you kept shooting mannequins.

I'm guessing the Brotherhood missions go on for as long as you have undiscovered areas. I have a few mission other than them but most of them kick my arse. I guess I just need to randomly explore more or continue with the Brotherhood missions until I level up more, lvl 16 right now.

Easy money in FO4 (legit too)

1) At your settlements with a lot of water nearybe (Santcuary, Castle)
2) Setup up multiple water treatment / purifiers
3) Power them all
4) Setup your settlement supply lines
5) Sit back and wait a full 24 hours (in game time)
6) Go to your workbench and collect the purified water you now have

I have water for 60 at the Castle. And water for 40 at Sanctuary. So I get around 30-40 bottles of purified water per day.

7) Fast Travel to Diamond City.
8) Sell the purified water for 10+ caps per (depends on your charisma and how many points you've put into the Cap Collector perk).



The best I've done is 12 caps per.
So on average 35 * 12 = 420 caps almost every 24 hours in Fallout 4. Which is about as much as most vendors will carry at my level anyhow. This method will give you a lot of caps consistently with little to no effort. Now with this added income and the Scrounger perk (under Luck). I don't have to worry about running low on ammo on Hard difficulty. And every once and a while I'm able to buy some nice stuff from a vendor at my settlements or in Diamond City.

Castle is the best IMO.

It's huge. Surround by radiated swamp and the sea. And there are huge concrete walls surrounding you, minus 2 holes in the wall. If you block off the hole on the West side of it, then you only have to worry about raiders from one side and you have the high ground of the castle walls. It's damn near impenetrable the way i have it setup now.

for me:
Sanctuary is the bare minimum + plus tons of water
Drive in Theater is a nice settlement of mine. (Centrally located in the map)
Castle is almost maxed out size wise and settlers wise.

Other than the weekends I find when I play at night I game for about two hours and then don't feel like it anymore so I do other things.

I spent 4 hours last night building a multilevel base on the roof of Red Rocket. I jumped down to see how it was looking from the ground and to screen shot it, game crashes. My last save was in the middle of the wasteland somewhere. I'm not even mad though. I wasn't happy with my front porch or coat closet.
