What is the best way to get power cores without pick pocketing? I haven't put any points into sneaking and am not particularly good at it. What are my alternatives?

You can find a lot just by looting around. I have 35 without pickpocketing any.

But when you assign people to the stores the food rating seems to go down :/
I don't have the bottlecaps to build loads of the stores really either, blah

Make sure your food sources are all 1 food per plant. Some of them are only 0.5. You're only ever going to have like 20 people in a settlement so you should have 3 people on food, each on a farm of 6 1-food plants.

Has anyone heard this thing that scrapping all TVs in sanctuary will stop the happiness randomly going down when you're out questing?
 
I already own the game but I found a lone Pip Boy edition at Best Buy yesterday and passed. Well I decided to skip my purchases for black friday, since I played most of them already, and picked up this edition. I'm selling my old one to my friend. I didn't need it but I feel like it'll be rare and I wanted to own it. I hope I decided right lol.

Really like this game. Started it today, and just got to the minutemen. Now I'm doing the quests to build the sanctuary. I'll admit though, I'm overwhelmed by this feature? If I don't want to fool around with that stuff for a while, is it going to hurt my gameplay?

Was at Diamond City and a radiation storm rolled through;

I was shocked no one ran for shelter.

I'm trying to build an artillery piece since this is apparently needed to get through to the west bastion of the Castle during the Old Guns quest, but there is no Special option when I use the workshop
. Any ideas?
 
Companion related q:

Do they have character specific missions contingent on how they feel about you?

I just
reached max relationship level with Piper but it doesn't look like she does anything beyond talking to you. Wonder if that's the same across the board.

Not sure how spoiler-averse this thread is, so I spoilered your original post just in case.

That section of the quest is awful at letting you know what to do. It has nothing to do with artillery pieces; you need to go into workshop mode, go to the tunnel with the rubble blocking it, and hit Scrap on the rubble. That's it. Artillery pieces come later in the quest.

Only some.
Nick, Cait and Curie are the ones I got. Hancock doesnt have one since he idolises me and didnt give me one. I hear Piper doesnt have one either. Strong almost certainly has one since he keeps going on about the human milk. And Danse has a main story thing that might count as his quest.

Can someone please explain the ideology of
The Institute
? I get what they do, but not why.

Why do megalomaniacal super science geniuses usualy do anything? :p

my damn dialogue keeps glitching where it repeats one line in the subtitles and doesn't show the dialogue options but I can still select one.

You're quite right, I was following some guides on YouTube and they were talking about artillery pieces. I had no idea how building one outside would help get through to the west bastion, but I finally read somewhere that you can use the workshop to get rid of the blockage. I agree with you that this is a badly executed part of the game - how on earth would someone know they can get rid of the blockage without being told?

Luckily I got through it and can continue. Thanks.

So uh, just happened across Goodneighbor last night. Been playing for I don't know how long and it surprised me . Also
the vault tec salesman was there, thought he might show up after the intro and was not disappointed.

You running higher than 60fps? Weird stuff happens when you do, I stopped having that problem and others when I capped my framerate.
 
Yes ... you can sneak by everything

plus game has cool stealth finishers with your knife and bare hands

Really? I mean so far I only have one upgrade and one magazine for the Stealth perk but it seems impossible to get behind an enemy no matter how slow I move :/
That makes those lower levels kinda pointless unless that's different on easy or something.

I am playing on PS4. I can fix it by quitting the game and then loading my save but it's happened three times already.

Ive been hunting a special gauss rifle and you can buy one in the castle after old guns which I did ages ago lol >_>

Also aparently
Elder Maxson

Can anyone confirm that
Maxson
can be pickpocketed for his battle coat?

I can confirm I got his coat by seperating his head from his shoulders at least :p

Speaking off, the hat from
Captain Kells
in the same location is the first hat I found with 2 stats instead of just 1.

+1 cha and +1 per
 
So after all the messing around with crashes etc, I finally managed to get this to work... with a brand new graphics card.

Best part though... I only got to play for about 5 minutes before getting stuck in the decontamination / cryo chamber at the start of the game. My char just hammers on the door and the wife just keeps walking in circles. Tried a new character and got exactly the same thing.

Can't noclip out of there, and no idea what the quest ID is at that point so I can't even use the console to skip it. Yay. :(

I'm not far enough in the story and I don't know how killing him the moment I see him would work for the story/missions :( I just want his coat

Im using the fatman a hell of a lot more than I ever did in previous games. I actually get excited when I find mini nukes

Does anyone understand the MIRV upgrade, it reduces the dmg immensely :/

My goto weapon for Fallout 3 was the fully-auto Chinese Assault Rifle, after Op Anchorage came out. Was hoping to find something like that, but ended up just using a semi-automatic 5.56 Assault Rifle for the entire back-half of the game. I did spec pretty hard into Rifleman, so it was effective enough.

Yeah still getting some defending settlements glitches, or it's Preston. So far I've failed clearing Greentop Nursery, defending Jamaican Plain, and I'm about to fail defending the Castle.

Thinking it's Preston since I have to talk to him, and there's no dialogue when I do so. Any ideas?

Can we talk about Deacon always having a different outfit when you meet him or fast travel with him, and how awesome that little detail is for the character?

I can't, because I spec'd Lone Wanderer. :p

The 25% damage boost it does at max level is preeeeeeeeeeetty sweet. +100 carry weight and 33% damage reduction are also included in that package, I did not miss my companions one bit.
 
I don't understand hacking at all. So much so that I just pick random words, leave the terminal after three tries, then repeat until I pick the password. How does hacking work? I am utterly confused by it.

There's still some quirks that annoy me like usually when you talk to someone who isn't standing they go through their animation to get up, pause, and then talk. Hate how you can't rotate items you grab in the world.

And this dialogue wheel is pretty bad. I never know which choice advances the conversation when sometimes I want to get some background information before moving ahead. They need a system like Witcher 3 where progressing or important speech is highlight in yellow to advance the plot and grey choices means just talking.

Pick a word at random, then look at the bottom right and it will tell you how many letters match. Then it's a process of elimination.

Or you can just cheese it and guess the first 3 words in order, back out, hammer the activate button to instantly get back in and do it again until it unlocks, which is basically what you're already doing and pretty much the most efficient way to do it.

I went through all of Fallout 3 without understanding how hacking worked.

Pick one at first and see what the likeness is. If it says 3 then find the next word that has that likeness with the first word.

One of my saves on PS4 got corrupted somehow D:

Luckily I had a save a few minutes before hand... cause I've played Bethesda games before and so I save often in different slots.

You can also remove duds and reset your chances.
