Played to death since release , but decided to start another play through as a friend is playing for the first time.

I always end up wearing power armour and being OP, decided to try a different approach, sneaky with multipliers. The stealth archer of Skyrim if you will.

Suggested perks for this? I am thinking I want vats accuracy, the blitz one that lets you cover more ground in vats, sneak and ninja.

Is melee worth doing at all? Or are weapons always going to deliver the best damage?

Nice will do - looking forward to trying something different.


Anyone else struggle with not hoarding / producing industrial levels of purified water for profit you don’t need !?

Every settlement I had on my last play through had every inch of water covered by industrial purifiers - I don’t know why I just love making money despite having nothing to spend it on!

I can recomend the Deliverer pistol which becomes insane with VATS, you can get 18+ shots in one VAT session, shot through objects with VATS and get massive stacking bonus's for stealth, gun foo etc. You can select the head of a mob behind the wall with 0% hit chance and after the 5th shot will be 100% to hit, probably have crit available and a massive stealth bonus.



[i]By far and away the best pistol on offer in Fallout 4, the Deliverer, allows players to deal high damage and do so quietly with no trade-off. It has a very high fire rate with good damage. This damage can be increased by 12 using a powerful receiver with the only downside being a higher weight. Its built-in suppressor will be a major selling point for many players as well.

Furthermore, the V.A.T.S. Enhanced effect gives the weapon better odds when using V.A.T.S. and a 25% reduction in action point cost. Thankfully, it is also easy to acquire. Players can simply complete the main quest, Tradecraft, to get this as a reward. [/i]

All over it one of my favourite weapons!

I think I’ve played probably 20+ days since release on and off!

After reading the previous posts about the Deliverer I went and got it (I always have in the past but like so much else it’s for collecting purposes and bunged on display as soon as possible). Looking forward to trying it out.

Interestingly there are bugs and glitches that I never saw on the PS4 version - most specifically the Charlestown Condo CC which simply doesn’t work.

Still it’s a good world to explore.

This game I will be avoiding Power Armour (although I’ve just got a couple of decent sets from the Captain Cosmos quest line) and using the Deliverer.

Well on my replay I think I’ve exhausted all the missions (apart from the BoS line, as they’re dicks). Got to level 75 and maxed out all the perks I’m interested in (I don’t use VATS). I made a couple of saves and tried different paths - on one I just tanked my way through the Institute at the first opportunity, which was quite fun.

Overall enjoyed it second time around but it got a bit samey towards the end. Not bad for a 10 year old game though.
