    Default Fallout 4 (SPOILERS THREAD)

    Since Emmit made the non-spoiler thread, just wanted to create this for us all to talk about, that can include spoilers.
    Discussing this game with you guys and all you've experienced so far is always fun to read, not to mention you can add tips for others as well.

    Discussion

    What companion have you guys gone with? Or are you just playing it solo? I'm traveling with Cait now, since I wasn't a fan of Piper, even since I saw her in the initial reveal.
    Did you find anything really interesting that isn't completely obvious, such as journal entries in random terminals, or certain holotapes by corpses or skeletons?
    Give any unique names to your personal weapons? I got a 10mm with explosive rounds that I beefed up and call 'Boomer.'

    Tips

    - Last time I hopped on, I discovered there are magazines that give you additional pieces for your settlements. The issue I found added potted plants, and there is four in total.

    - The 'Lone Wanderer' perk will still work if you have Dogmeat as your companion, it is incredibly useful if you want to have a companion, but also want to utilize this perk.

    - Sleeping for an hour before you start building will grant you more xp from the 'Well Rested' bonus.

    I don't know because I dislike Piper and never had her follow me, I have Cait with me and she likes it when I loot people and pick locks, haha.

    Cait was fun, but her companion quest felt a little too "forced emotion" for me.

    I like Deacon a hell of a lot, dude's funny

    In regards to the Magazines, I have also found Patio Furniture, Picket Fences, and an Advanced Light.

    Also, similar to what you said about building, I hoard meat until I have a large amount, Sleep for an hour, then blast through your cooking. I managed to raise from Level 18 to 19 just by cooking.

    Going solo, not even dogmeat. I'm playing sneaky sneaky and companions tend to mess that up completely.
    5.3x ranged sneak attacks without breaking stealth is so full of win.
    That playstyle also makes combat a lot more tactical, which I like.

    I usually prefix my upgraded weapon names with a * so they're stacked first in the list.. no creative names unfortunately.
    It's also possible to use limited html tags like <li> <i> etc in weapon names (the tags don't have to be closed)

    Pro tip: Get weapons that use the same perk but different ammo, so you can use more abundant .45 or even .38 for weak raiders without wasting your good ammo.
    I'm carrying an assortment of silenced pistols (10mm, .45, .50) plus a .44 for crit one-shotting big bads and a maxed legendary institute pistol for when my stealth is blown (got like 3k cells).
    Yes, you can make a scoped, silenced .50 pistol!
    If you're using VATS and pistols, the PPK you get from the first Railroad mission is godly. I can empty a 16-round clip in one AP bar, and upgraded it has a 96 damage rating with 4 perk stars... so yeah..

    You want tactical, get 10 Charisma with Intimidation and try to clear a quest with no kills, pure stealth

    After discovering how great ballistic weave armor is for your character, I feel obligated to share with you guys, just in case you didn't know.

    If you wear the clothes that goes under the armor pieces, you know how weak they are. The point to wearing them is basically for the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stat boosts and that's it. This mod makes it so much better. If you have your armor mod perk all the way to level 4, you can add 110/110 damage, and energy resistance. Even the lowest ballistic weave mod adds 30/30 to whatever you put it on, absolutely worth it!

    So once you find the Railroad, after you do a couple missions, and talk to 'Tinker Tom.' He unlocks the ability for you to add this awesome mod to your clothes/armor. It also works for various pieces such as suits, dresses, several uniforms. It also works on a few hats, but none of which I like.

    http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ballistic_weave

    There is a link to everything you can upgrade with it and how to get it unlocked, if you didn't already. I'm sure most of you already figured this out, but I didn't see anything about it on here for people who didn't know.


    Enjoy!

    On that fallout wiki page I linked, the atom cats jacket and jeans is on the list of upgradeable items, but I assume it's wrong. You had to have tried, and it didn't let you.

    Yeah man, I'm wearing the minute men outfit with a newsboy cap and my armor is over 300/300 with those, on top of my armor pieces, shit is soooo good!


    Edit: What is the most valuable thing you guys have found off a legendary creature? I got this last night off a ghoul, but I don't use heavy weapons usually.

    My best weapon can actually be purchased from Diamond City. "Big Boy" is a Fat Man that fires two projectiles with each shot. Upgrade it with the MIRV package and you have a weapon that can one-shot a legendary Deathclaw Matriarch.
