Had a bit of a wtf moment walking through the city just outside the liberty tower, see someone off in the distance walking away..... is that a raider?.... nope.... hmmm he kind of looks like a minute man...... hay... that looks like preston.... I'm sure I left him at the castle.

Hay Preston...

He doesn't know who I am at all, I string him along with sarcasm till he goes 'oh st, you're the general' and high tails it away but gets two steps away before I've remove his leg with a shotgun.

Now I know what you might expect if you've played the game but nope.... just a random guy pretending to be preston. Weird as f...

Could be a synth?

I came across him too, except somewhere else.

I just let him walk away.

Bought this a couple of days ago.

Just started it now :-) I have just walked into the Vault.

Excited!

I came across two people both called Art shooting at each other, one was aggressive to me the the other wasn't. I shot the aggressive one the the other didn't want to talk to me. So the real guy had encountered his synth copy I guess.

Just one of those encounters, like the guy wandering around trying to fleece you for his dog.

Yep, that's it. I had a chat with them where they both claim to be the real one. Made my choice and shot the bolshier one.

The other guy WAS a synth...

How bizarre. The depth in this game is amazing.

I've heard you can buy dogs from strangers to protect a settlement.

I find a large number of turrets (especially missile) assist greatly too.....

And as for Tesla Arcs, well they are very useful for destroying laser turrets and generators.....

I haven't had any problems with a few basic turrets and guard posts, seems as long as the defence rating is higher than the population you'll be ok

Yes but this guy never gives you his dog, you can try and buy it, but you have no control over it if you do. It just wanders off behind him and the only dialogue is buying the dog, again.

... or buy a hazmat suit. Super cheap and 1000 rad resistance. You can walk around the Glowing Sea for several minutes with no noticeable effect! I bought mine from a passing caravan!

Oh, I have one of those. I found it lying around in one of the places I looted.

[funkyrobot]

Ended up in the Glowing Sea earlier. Didn't have any extra rad protection so killed a few ghouls, ran closer to the edge of the map, discovered a few places I can go back to later and headed back to Sanctuary.

[TheEnd]

I'm going through a little made up quest, destroy everyone in the institute.

The first time, it looks like a joined it without paying attention, so I've gone back to a previous save, gathered a cure for a friend, and the plan is to kill absolutely everyone.

I'm not sure what it'll do to the game, but so far I've wiped out everyone apart from the leader, and accidentally ran into a barracks with about 40-50 armed synths who are currently not very hostile.

The room is loaded with mines now, and that takes out most of them, but I'm trying to see if I can mop up the rest.

I think it might be the holding pen for security if you do go mad in the Institute.
If that's something you want to try, you will want power armour and lots of heavy weapons!


edit- bad idea...

There's 70 synths in that room, and whilst I managed to taken them all out, when you go to leave, you meet another 70+, and this time they are ready and waiting!

Not my video but it went a bit like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjsFRqWtB6Y&fe...

[funkyrobot]

I've now completed the dig. Wow, that took some plodding.

I've also done the glowing sea bit.

I've taken the radio transmitter thing with the BOS chap and I've joined them.

Managed to get two hazmat suits.

[Otispunkmeyer]

FUUUUU!!!

Bloody glowing legendary mirelurk. Maybe I am just not high enough level yet, but these things seem invincible! I got a direct hit with a fatman. No effect. Got a bottle cap mine on it.... no effect. I ended up in many pieces because it went off too close. I was reading about the gamma gun and it says +50% damage on Mirelurks. Must be broken as it does the square-root of naff all to them.

.308 to the face seems to do decent damage. But again, not to the glowing ones. I just need to get past him so I can turn on this dudes turrets and get a hold of a special sniper rifle called the Overseers Protector, or something to that effect. Or is it Reba II?

Got to hit them in the face, shotgun in the face sorts them out usually OR... OR currently just a super sledge anywhere on them :]

I think you can just run past them. That's what I did the first time (since given up on that but will return soon).

It's the Reba 2 that you get. Just dose 50% more damage to bugs. If you want the Overseers Protector you need to buy it from the nice lady in vault 81. Well worth the circa 2500 caps! Mine still a .45 and dose 130 damage per shot! That's better than my 50 cal sniper! Lol

Are there any other really good guns in the game?

I've found that I'm hoarding items more than I have on any other fallout. My item wheel has nine different weapons in it and I have a chest full of unique/legendary weapons and armour at sanctuary.

I'm the same! I'm even collecting aluminium cans! Lol

It there any way to brake down items at he work bench like you can with weapons and armour?
