Massacre

It is. And it was even better than in Fallout 3. I hope that when the time comes for DLC, they expand on this story in the same way that the side quest in Point Lookout expanded on their story in 3.

Just discovered Dunwich Borers. Here's hoping it's as good as it was in Fallout 3.

Anyone else sporting (or even acquired) the Minutemen General's uniform? Enough armor for me to be able to put my shadowed leather set away, and damned stylish, to boot. My full ensemble is the uniform, a pair of welding goggles, and the Ronin hairstyle and doomsday prepped beard. I think it makes me look like a post-apocalyptic pirate. My weapons loadout consists of: Fate, a suppressed .50 cal hunting rifle with long-range scope. Fortune, a combat knife with stealth blade (bonus sneak attack and bleeding damage). Fury, a .44 magnum with bull barrel. Considering going full pirate mode and replacing my knife with a revolutionary sword.

You can adjust the camera's distance from your character by holding the touchpad (not sure about PC/XB1) and moving the right analog stick.

The game isn't perfect, but there's no way it isn't game of the year. Witcher 3 was good, but it doesn't even come close to Fallout 4. The only other contender is MGSV, and MGS has always been painfully overrated, and the series mostly relies on its loyal fanbase, rather than actually doing anything new or interesting. V is no different.

To make your companion ignore the loot limit, just drop the loot and tell them to pick it up.

I filled a random house in Sanctuary with strobe lights, mirror balls, and other things of that nature. A single house in my town, holding a rave fueled by Bing Crosby.

Gimmick giveaway tees are always black or white, in the real world. Rockstar's just being realistic (read: lazy).

Build a generator and radio beacon (Resources>Miscellaneous). Make sure you flip the switch so the light on the beacon is green. Preston gave me a quest to clean it out and build a beacon, though, so you might want to wait a while. He regularly gives me quests to start new settlements.

Switches only work for a certain distance. Throw another one in a spot where the lights don't work, and run a wire to it.

PSA: Dogmeat can wear welding goggles. It looks incredible.

The outfit is next to the roof access. The axe is directly behind the counter on the ground floor, in a display case. If I remember correctly, it isn't even locked.

Yeah, I went in for Grognak's Axe. I did not realize that it was five floors of loot and death.

How do I start the Silver Shroud quests? This shit is taking up valuable inventory weight.

45 hours in, and I still haven't set foot in Diamond City.

Loving that you get xp for building things. I gained an entire level just building a fence around Sanctuary Hills today. Place is a fortress now. I've also begun a mutually beneficial partnership with the Brotherhood of Steel. I'm liking them much more than I did in previous games.

You should take a stroll around the area outside Diamond City. Peruse the aisles of a comic shop, perhaps...

I believe there are three doghouses in the neighborhood. Once you find him, scrap all the doghouses except for the one you moved, that will ensure that he's usually easy to find.

Check the various doghouses around the neighborhood, that's where I always find him. I moved one to the driveway of my house so I wouldn't have to hunt him down.

Most useful option I've found for Protectrons is to set them to law enforcement. They'll kill hostiles, but recognize you as a civilian and not attack you.

My armor and weapons are as upgraded as they can be at my current level. Have to reach 13 and 16 to upgrade any further. I'm nowhere near Diamond City, though, thanks to my constant scavenging and crafting. Every time I reach a new location, I end up filling my inventory and having to go back to Red Rocket to store shit. I'm not looking forward to leaving Red Rocket for a new home, and having to make 20 trips to transfer all of my junk.

All of your junk items contribute to your materials, if you store them at Sanctuary's workshop. Remember, junk items aren't for selling anymore. Other than that, open workshop mode while in Sanctuary and scrap anything that's outlined in yellow, or anything that you simply don't want there. I acquired over 1000 wood and metal simply by cleaning up the junk items in the neighborhood.

1100 pounds and five trips later, the Corvega factory is completely empty.

I'm only clearing the outside so far, but the Corvega factory is going pretty smoothly. I'm racking up a lot of ironsights kills with the laser musket, and I'm finally managing some stealth melee kills with my serrated switchblade. Since this is going so well, I imagine I'll be viciously raped, once I actually go inside.

So, you know that thing that's supposed to happen, after you acquire power armor for the first time? Yeah, I didn't get to do that. Found it dead, on my way out of town. Never even saw it crawl out of where it's meant to.
