Multiplat Fallout 4

does the water around sanctuary act as a barrier? ie.. do they just attack from over the bridge?

I've had them from the bridge and at the other end where the tree is in the middle of the road. I've built a wall there now though so nothing gets through. I've got two turrets at the bridge and that's worked fine. Tbh though I think I've only had the two attacks.

If you decide to use the drive -in, so far all of the attacks (there's been half a dozen or so) have come from down the hill at the entrance end for me.

Another Question: How do you get your settlers to wear better gear? I have so far added better armour to some of their inventory but they wont put it on

Talk to them to trade gear, put the gear you want in their inventory, press the equip button (y for xbox) on the same screen

Literally just had the drive-in attacked again. 31 defence, 16 food, 15 water 13 people, no warning triangle. Turrets did the job easy.

Same experiance with me, I have a feeling its based on renown of your character in the game world. I am noticing now, i get more people joining sanctuary then before and more raid attacks even though my base is like fort knox. It all changed since i hit level 25, so maybe levels are bound to it ?

 

[Mancey]

I'm only Level 9 so that probably has a bit to do with lack of attacks.

It seems i have done as much as I can without reverting to using the power armour. Doing a few of the "Help the people at x" missions for Preston and have started running into supermutants, boomers in power armour etc.

Did a lot of running away last night. Time to start burning fusion coils.

I'm at level 19 atm so look forward to that!

Have come across a bug though. Whenever I leave sanctuary hills now the triangle pops up in the pipboy saying I have no defence, no water, no beds. When I travel back there it's fine and the pipboy says that too. Seems to be a pretty common problem and not gamebreaking so hopefully Bethesda can put out a fix soon. Apparently getting rid of shops helps but I can't be bothered yet.


Btw does anyone horde their level perks? I seem to do mine in clumps of 3 or 4 for some reason rather than doing them as soon as I can.

If you don't want to use the power suit, Codsworth makes a quite effective Companion in battle.

got the day off work. Broke 6 bobby pins before finally unlocking my first safe! Stoked!

Shit this game is going to be a life waster. I would search every nook and cranny playing TLOU. This is 10x worse for exploration. Cancel my 4pm Doris, im gonna be here a while...

[dtm06]

So after all these hours I've only just stumbled across my first populated town (other than Diamond City). It's gonna be a loooong game.

 

[Balony_pony16]

what are peoples thoughts on the companions? The dog gets in the way heaps I find and gets killed way too easy... I find the search commands don't really work too well with him and I always just end up doing it myself.

Just started with the Robot... he seems alright. Although I thought he would be better at hacking etc

 

[RickSanchez]

You can't scrap the half decent houses, just the destroyed ones.

Just clean em out and use them

Literally never encountered this. Only thing i can think of is you are not using matched bits of wall etc.

Some bits don't work together

I ended up just testing it by making the house smaller and it worked. I really don't get it because it wasn't as if it was hanging off the edge, it had plenty of room. Maybe mine is just buggy. Good that it finally worked though.
Finally got attacked by raiders as well, realised I need some more defence probably even though I got quite a bit.
Probably need to wall it off as well.
I got a guard post set up near the bridge, sort of reminds me of big town in F3.
Bittercup was such a twat.

codworth > dogmeat

I miss NV when I was able to have both Boone and dogmeat

 

[Balony_pony16]

I found the Robotic Companion dealer with a heap of then protecting the area from looters... once I get my Suit powered back up im gonna go back and rain bullets with my mini gun. There must be good loot there?

I have a super mutant with me at the moment and he just gets spotted all the time.

I chose this chick simply because I wanna bang her.

 

[manureid]

At what point do you get to swap companions?

 

[Nostradumbass]

Just worked out I can put gear on my dog.

 

[dtm06]

Whenever you find them. Codsworth and the dog are very early on. Codsworth is better imo.

Ah okay, how do you know they are a possible companion (Cods and Dog are obvious, so am assuming they may be the same)? Do you swap them in the pipboy?

 

[Mancey]

Talk to them, if they are companions there will be a follow option

Codsworth ain't helping me much against suicider super mutants and Legendary Radscorpions

I have the option of continuing the story and going down to check out Diamond City, you know, to look for my son. Or doing the outpost quests for Preston.

Feel I should do the Preston ones first. Anyone just gone straight to the city? Heavy enemies on the way or not too bad?

Generally you'll have an interaction with them and at the point they become available to be a companion they'll offer to come along with you.

Spoiler

Eg when you first go to Diamond City you'll meet Piper and have a bit of a talk with her, then do a simple quest at the end of which she'll offer herself as a companion

I headed to Diamond City fairly early. Did a few quests in the NW to level up and went there at roughly level 10. Opened up quite a lot of quests as you'd expect with the big city of a Bethesda game.

Have only seen two radscorpions. Saw how much damage I was going to do to them in VATS and ran!

Highlight them and you'll see 'connect wire' or something similar. Click the corresponding button, highlight the radio tower and click the same button.

I'm trying to get to the nursery in the far east but keep running into skull level enemies that mess me up. The one in the south west was simple enough
