Theoretically, what changes if you use the Dogmeat exploit (or the console) to max your SPECIAL stats in terms of general gameplay affected? I'm debating playing with all my stats at 10 just so I can focus on the perk levels instead of using 42 (less with bobbleheads) perk points on the SPECIAL values. I know Strength is going to up my carry weight, Luck will help with discovery of certain items, etc. but am I going to be having an easy time?
 
I don't understand how to reach 100 happiness in sanctuary. They have more than enough bed/food/defense and I've put a ton of decoration...
 
So I've beaten the main quest and killed off the
BoS and railroad lol
. Apart from minuteman quests which all seem the same where else to look for more quests?

Yeah, don't do that!

Should I bump the difficulty up to Survivalist (is that what it's called?) Picking my way through downtown Boston at around level 25 and just wrecking everything in 2 shots.

Who is your favourite companion mine is
Cait

I would like her more if she didn't take things randomly. While it's a funny aspect of her character it's just junk I have to take from her and drop.

Also her running around with the Grognak Axe (later power fist) and Grognak costume is GOLD.

Also as I noted a few posted up, she spurned me when i tried to romance her. After all I've done for her....

i dont get it. this game is unplayable for me, never had so many crashes and problems and still Bethesda gets a free pass? this game is even in worse shape than Batman Arkham Knight or AC Unity and for that games there was a huge shitstorm from fans and press. im waiting for a patch to adress the most critical bugs and nothing. not even a single word from Bethesda when a new patch will be released. fuck them. this was my last Bethesda game.

lol @ worse than Unity and I seriously hope you're not comparing this to the Arkham Knight PC release...

I'm riding this game's nuts hard and I admit it's buggy sometimes but no one's getting a free pass.

Just ran into the Vault-tec Salesman and it felt nice to invite him to Sanctuary.

From the start, I looked at my friend and told her "That guy is going to be around later, just watch." I can't wait to find him.

Hey, bro marsh. I am level 21 at 65hrs. So I am probably worse than you are lol!

Talk about bang for our buck.
 
I'm stuck on a side mission.
For The Last Voyage of the USS Constitution, I can't seem to find the entrance to get to the turbopumps. I'm on the roof, but I can't figure out how to get into the doorway that leads back into the Fort.

That sucks you're having such a bad experience. It's amazing though how different experiences can be. Over 80 hours in and I have yet to encounter any major bugs. Had some slow down on rare occasions but that's about it.

Got to say though, I am surprised Bethesda isn't rolling out a patch or even talking about one.

The turbopumps are in the hold on the top floor of the boat behind a master lock
 
Spoilers for specific HalluicGen Inc. Quest:
I cannot find the Hallucigen container that the druggie guy needs. (cant remember his name, doh!) It looks like the canister is below the floor level but I can't find a way down to it. Is this glitched or am I missing something?

I now have 2 weapons with exploding bullets. Handgun and SMG. The SMG is my "Oh shit" gun when things start to get serious.

When I'm in my Power Armor i end to use the Minigun which I got a Legendary one I renamed "Dakka Gun".


Also, Im glad the Vault Suit is something you keep with you, I have yet to find it's replacement due to being able to also have armor on it.

I was thinking of starting to use Combat Armor but my Raider armor is all upgraded and some have sweet Legendary abilties, I just cant see using Combat Armor anytime soon.

So Lone Wanderer perk and Dogmeat IS a bug.

I just read the loading screen ,

"Lone Wanderer *blah blah gives you* when you're not with a companion or Dogmeat"

I have to speak to Hancock wearing the outfit, but every time I speak he's just saying "time to head out"

What should I do?

Explore. You haven't beaten a Bethesda game until you've visited every location. Some have quests attached but even the places that don't ofen feature specific enemies, items, and various methods of environmental story telling that all come together to craft a narrative. My favorite part about these games.

I romanced her by wearing an outfit with high CHA and drinking some alcohol she is the best
 

Chuck

Still without luck
it's such a bummer that rest mode fucks up the time played. I wanted to be able to say how much I've actually played with friends, like I could for 3. :(

There is quests almost everywhere in the game, and many are now tied to discovery area like quests, so it's basically exploring, and of course most factions in the game have tons of quests available or the repeatable ones that have you traveling around for different things.

I just learned about the special book exploit.

Its so tempting to use it. Would it make the game too easy? I dont think id do all 10s but definently all 5 and couple 10.

Lol. I only have time for one playthrough as well.

I dont want to be OP and make game not fun tho
 
Can anyone explain to me on why my settlers keep quitting their fucking jobs? I assign them to shops or crops and the next time I come threw it shows that no one was assign to them.

I know and have assigned people to jobs in my settlement before.

Also fuck mama Murphy. I gave her one fucking job and put her chair right by her only fucking job and not only did she quit her job I can't select her to do anything else.

I did it. I used a glitch. I broke my promise.

Only because my mini gun got clipped through the wall and disappeared though -.-
Damn it Bethesda
. I still love you.

That's so strange. My settlers always stick to their tasks :(

I'd probably cheat my charisma up to the local leader perk (level 6?) so i can have full use of the settlement building.

Wait.
So they aren't at that Fort? I got the Captain's Key, but I thought that was to install the pumps.

I might be remembering wrong, I did that one early in the game.

Edit: Oh wait, you mean the bearings? In the corvega plant?
Go to the plant through the front entrance, get to the room with the two turrets and explodable cars. Go up the stairs and extend the bridge and they should be in the trunk.

If you're already on the roof, the door into that room is chained shut unless you went out it.

Have you got the gun equipped too? Don't wear anything other than the hat, outfit and have the gun equipped.

Just found out yesterday that if you run into an enemy in a powersuit, you can get them to exit it by shooting the fusion core during the fight.

It makes the suit say "steal" instead of "enter" or "take", and Piper doesn't like that very much. Kind of a bug, taking anything else from a Raider isn't stealing.

Worked on my Sanctuary settlement getting it big enough for 15 people for the time being; got Local Leader and Cap Collecter to level 2. Going to collect more resources and work on Cait as a companion while I finish off the other trophies. Then it's going to be a focus on getting to 100 happiness with the settlement. I think I'm going to make The Castle out to be a settlement too.

Collecting all the bobbleheads and doing all the faction endings yesterday was a blast. Got some pretty killer legendaries too. Rocket Launcher that ignores 30% damage resistance and is quad barreled. Gamma Pistol with 50% damage to humans. Found a sweet Plasma Sniper Rifle that's been destroying as well.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, now I can have every last Power Armor around the Boston Wasteland!!!

Edit: Do you use V.A.T.S. for this or just a Sniper Rifle?

I really enjoy the settlement aspects but this weirdness is really getting on my nerves. I invested all my caps and almost all of my resources in building up my crappy looking settlement and these lazy fucks won't work the field or shops. I'm getting no return for everything I invested.

The only thing that's paying off are those two massive water purifiers and the settlers doesn't have anything to do with it.

I'm still struggling with the adhesive because my crops won't grow in a good rate beside tato plants. I blame the settlers for that too.

It's targetable in VATS, you just have to be behind them... so have your companion draw the enemy's attention, slip around behind them, and hit them with a stronger rifle. I use a Hardened Sniper Rifle (about 55 dmg) and it does it in a few shots.

Just get ready to clear the area, because a fusion core explodes like a burning car does. Mushroom cloud.

I love how I'm trying to ''clean'' my quest list, I finish one, talk to the guy and then "here, 5 more filler shit quest for you".
/uninstalled

The one before it sounds like one of the repeatable ones but it isnt.

It has a weird name and its one of those safe house quests
can't you recall the name of the quest? :'(

Underground Undercover should be the next quest I get from Railroad but I keep getting the same repeatable shitty quests. do I need to finish a specific story quest first in order to get it?
anyone?
 
I'm elated at the fact that my fiancee loves this game. I just wish there would be more content for her since she is mainly during the main story and not a lot of sidequests. I keep joking that we need a 2nd PS4 because she wants to play so much and I barely have time to play.

Also do I need to do any missions before I can get
Curie
as a companion?

I don't understand how to reach 100 happiness in sanctuary. They have more than enough bed/food/defense and I've put a ton of decoration...

It's a bug. The happiness goes down when you leave Sanctuary due to the beds and other stats messing up.

Also 50% of the places I have cleared are now uncleared again!

You need to assign the settlers to the tasks yourself. Click on a settler in the build menu the select the task like a store pr piece of fruit.

Yeah what you quoted was my second post. I did do that and they keep quitting their job. Go alittle up in the page and you'll see my first post explaining it.

That is such a long mission.

In order to finish this quest, I had to go to the Misc Quest menu and find the mission called "Talk to Bobbi." I then had to track down No Nose Bobbi in Southie and either kill her or tell her to leave Boston.

And that wasn't even the end of it.
