Scrap em and mod the rest, dude. Building your own guns is easier and more satisfying than relying on random drops.

Yes ... you can sneak by everything
plus game has cool stealth finishers with your knife and bare hands
Any gun with the "double damage" modifer is basically OP. Although, I feel the Sniper Rifle should deal that much damage. There is even a mod out already which increases the damage by 35% out of the box, which I feel would balance it way better. I don't use it, but still, I can recommend it. The non-combat sniper rifle does even more damage (although has a far worse fire rate) and the Gauss Rifle is broken anyway. Reminder, that's WITHOUT any modifier. lol
As comparison, my "double damage" Sniper Rifle does 304 damage, my "+25% damage" Combat Shotgun 298 and my "double damage" Combat Sniper Rifle (Overseer's) does 271. With x5.3 Sneak damage, everything is a one shot anyway on survival.
For people still wondering since the question keeps popping up, not only does the game continue after you finish the story, there are quests that only show up after you finish the story, which is all sorts of neat

I was just listening to the Bombcast and Jeff said you can take mods off of guns and put them on other guns. Even if you don't have the Gun Nut perk to a point where you can build a certain mod you can install it on a gun as long as you have the mod in your inventory.
Is this correct? How do you do that? And why the fuck don't they explain that?
I've been willy nilly scrapping guns with mods on them when I could have taken the mods off first.

It's true, with one caveat: to remove a mod you have to build the basic version first to replace it. So it's not entirely free, but it's almost certainly cheaper than building the good mod yourself.

Can someone tell me if this game allows for Shareplay?

Holy shit, I have mine modded the same way and its damage is "only" 345 and that's with Rifleman nearly maxed out. How did you get yours so damn high?

Cool, thanks. I'll keep pumping points into it then.

Whenever I send a companion or someone else to a settlement, Santuary is darkened and I can't send them there. Is there a reason for this or is it a bug?

Alright, so I'm looking to get all the trophies in one play through, which of course requires me to play through all the factions in the game. My question is considering how the game always warns you when you're about to get locked out of another faction, is it safe to play through each faction's quest line until I get that message? I'd prefer to avoid save-cheesing until the last possible moment.

I keep finding myself in tight spots, running low on stimpaks and ammo. I need to find a salesman.
...1? They dont run out THAT fast nor do you take that long to get to where you need to go there
Actually no. For achievements the cut off point(s) is different than the cut off point for the actual quests. Also there isnt 1 magical point where it happens like some said, its different points for different factions. And the game not always warns you what will put the other factions in a fail state. I did some serious faction juggle to get as many quests as I could
Dealing with the whole area, or just going through the necessary main story parts? If the latter, I did it in one, easily. Just don't sprint and avoid using V.A.T.S. and you hardly drain at all. I do have that perk that increases the length though, so I get double efficiency. Maybe two, then? They don't drain very quickly if you just plod along.

This is my guy. Love this armor.
Rifleman (*200%), Lone Wanderer (*125%), Bloody Mess (*115%) Magazine (*105% for Scoped Weapons), Magazine (*105% at Night).
I have the same perk on an arm piece. They stack right?
That should work just fine then. Thanks for the info. Doesn't matter if it is GTA or Fallout, I always put off missions with artificial time constraints. This doesn't sound too tedious though.

i like that armor as well but its stats are so shitty. are aren't any good armors in the game from my experience, its better to have them skin tight outfits and put armor pieces on it

AHHHH 28 people, 20 emporiums, 200 paintings. 100 Us flags and it still won't go past 100. Insanity.
Like the souls games, you either play the stat game or the fashion game.
Spotted a raider way off in the distance that appeared to be crouching down behind cover so I sniped them and went down to investigate. Turns out she was just kneeling over the grave of her dead comrade.
Now she can be with him forever
Yeah they do stack.

As a first time fallout player where should I invest all my points ? I have put a lot into strength because I want to carry lots of shit . But unsure what the other good branches to invest in is .
Best stuff I have had in terms of actual defense was Kellog's outfit and now the Silver Shroud suit. I cannot think of a game where so much of the armor dropped by enemies is straight up garbage. I guess it works for the best since what I have been using has less encumberance, but it kills the thrill of looting mangled enemy corpses.

Well that's disappointing. Someone posted a video here of a guide to do everything in one playthrough so I guess I'll just follow that.
ps. Already dreading that 100% happiness trophy. Guess I'll just work on every settlement I have and see what happens
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

The benevolent leader trophy sucks. Sitting there at 95. Done about everything I can just sitting, waiting, and hoping it rises.
The reason for useless drops is the enemies drop what is actually equipped on their persons. It is a very difficult thing to balance. Do any other games do this?
luck, intelligence, charisma is what I did and I don't regret it. plenty of stuff to give you +1 strength in the game

"You should have Dogmeat follow the scent!" Ugh... I'll have to go get him.
/dogmeat is sitting politely halfway across the world outside the door
e.e
Also... no way to have Dogmeat and a normal buddy, right?

Wait until you find explosive combat shotguns. They aren't unique, but if you raise the accuracy you can bombard far away enemies with them, often blowing multiple enemies apart with one shot.

You'll get a feel for what you're going to want to lean towards as soon as you get to seen the perk screen, as it's all viewable from the word go. Stats are explained across the top row and some perks have multiple ranks. Looking through them, I think Perception has the least to offer but you'll still want a few points in that. You can't really go that wrong though, just do whatever. You can always reroll.
I've recently realised that taking Al of those chappy armours and scrapping the ones that let you into leather is a fairly decent source of the stuff. I often find myself running out, so while you can fill a lot of inventory space quickly, you can get something from those seemingly useless pieces.
There is a trillion on the map. Every enemy that uses power armor also has one. I sold like a 100 or so already (don't use power armor). At one location there were 5 in a pile.
Guess I need to look better then. For reference have just got to Diamond City.
