This is why the settlement building needed a proper tutorial.
User avatar #171 to #29 - enlightednatzie (12/02/2015) [-]
I think its kinda boring and the tutorial should not be mandatory and take up your valuble time.
User avatar #175 to #171 - spoopyskeleton (12/02/2015) [-]
Of course it shouldn't be mandatory. But it should still have one.

there is a turtorial in the start menu under settings, has tutorial for everything in the game.
#131 to #29 - anon (12/02/2015) [-]
I dunno. most things are pretty basic if youre not retarded

Why? Community discoveries are some much more fun.
User avatar #51 to #49 - bulwark (12/01/2015) [-]
Well, for us who really don't want to spend time on forums and talking to strangers about a single player game, it would be nice to get some better directions on how it works.

Especially when we're trying to avoid spoilers.

**rollingpicture used "*roll picture*"**
**rollingpicture rolled image**

There is a kind of tutorial with Sturges after you help the minutemen, after that its easy to just explore your options and build a bunch of stuff.

The only things I found that needed more tutorial was the local leader perk and how/what items could work by connecting a power outlet to a house, or that items go into the workshop and how to find them, but I figured that out fairly quickly.
User avatar #130 to #51 - KillinTime (12/02/2015) [-]
honestly I prefer the hands off approach to telling the player how to do things, feels more like fallout.

you actually can't do this, this is either modded or used console commands

One more perfect explain as to why this system needed a tutorial system. Like someone seriously dropped the mini nuke on that one.

I freaking used up all of my first fusion core doing nothing but walking around because I didn't know how to get out from my mech suit. I just found out you can't recharge em too.

Any tips you guys can share with an ultra Fallout newb? Only other Bethesda title I've played was Skyrim and I LOVED the **** of that game.
User avatar #15 to #13 - allthelolz (12/01/2015) [-]
I mean what kind of tips do you want specifically?
User avatar #16 to #15 - triene (12/01/2015) [-]
Small things that aren't really taught by the game yet are life changing really. Kind of like Op's picture. For example, is there a flashlight I can buy or get for when I am exploring at night?
#28 to #16 - alexanderh (12/01/2015) [-]
Hold tab, it turns your Pip-Boy light on if you're not in armour, or a spotlight if you are.

What are you playing on?

press and hold X for like 2-3 secs

The pip-boy light is activated by holding O on ps4

As long as a fusion core has 1% or more power in it you can sell it for a reasonably high price
vendors will usually have an FC or two every day or so
User avatar #23 to #13 - allthelolz (12/01/2015) [-]
You can take mods off of weapons you find and add then to your own at a workbench without needing a high "gun nut" level

You can recharge them?

he said he found out you CAN"T recharge them. it sucks but oh well

hold ALT while sniping to hold your breath and steady the scope

Sentry Bots drop 1-2 fusion cores. They're ridiculously difficult at low levels though so be cautious.
User avatar #183 to #13 - notsohappygamer (12/02/2015) [-]
there are 3 ways of finding fusion cores

1. finding them what a suprise
2. buying them
3. do a glitch
User avatar #184 to #13 - notsohappygamer (12/02/2015) [-]
btw its power armor and not a mech suit
#110 to #13 - mikasuh (12/02/2015) [-]
Everything about your comment screams faggot, but I'll help you if you need any help.
User avatar #20 to #13 - xxReaper (12/01/2015) [-]
Hold down the pip-boy button to turn on your "flashlight." In your powersuit, it'll turn on it's headlamp instead. That's why when you craft it on an armor rack, you can customize the headlamp.
Some companions can use Power armor also, and they don't use up fusion core charges, but the armor pieces do wear out as they take damage.
The mods on armor such as pocketed and deep pocketed is canceled out when you enter in power armor. Your stealth is also affected by armor type in this regard, so be careful with sneaky breaky in power armor.
You can also equip settlers and companions with armor and weapons for them to use if you trade it to them and order them to equip it, but for companions, you must give them ammo for the weapon you give them, otherwise they will use their default weapon, which they have unlimited ammo for (you can't see it or take it).

uhh.. Idk if there's anything else important I should mention. Don't know your scope of knowledge on the game
User avatar #21 to #20 - xxReaper (12/01/2015) [-]
Also the higher the difficulty you're on the more legendary enemies and better legendary items you will get.
This one flew past me also but your settlement's defense must be more than the settlement's food and water combined. and food, water, and bed must be the same or more than settlers in your settlement.
User avatar #26 to #13 - allthelolz (12/01/2015) [-]
If you're going to play with a companion don't bother putting any points into stealth, it'll be a waste
User avatar #117 to #26 - amusingusername (12/02/2015) [-]
Give them shadowed armor with muffled legs. They are alright.
User avatar #90 to #13 - zachjackel (12/01/2015) [-]
put points into stealth. incredibly worth it

get the **** outta here.
User avatar #73 to #55 - triene (12/01/2015) [-]
Why's that?
User avatar #76 to #73 - ihaspotato (12/01/2015) [-]
I'll give you a break since you said you're new but it's called power armor not a mech suit. Also as for tips, collect everything and put all your junk items in the workshop in Sanctuary, it makes it easier when you want to modify/build **** . Fusion cores aren't that hard to come by, just be really thorough when searching locations and you'll find some pretty fast. You can also buy fusion cores if you feel you have plenty of caps to spare.

I haven't had time to play much fallout myself, but I know the basics. Not sure how much you know, but better safe than sorry. And remember, half the fun is doing silly mistakes with tragic outcomes.

Collecting all junk you find isn't really necessary. Prioritise junk made of the stuff you need. I find screws and adhesives to be the main thing for guns, but you'll quickly learn what you need and don't need. Fans and typewriters, more valuable than pure water

Something(I think) the game teaches you, but I completely missed because I was focusing on something else. Is that anything you store in one of the workbenches is accessible in any of the other benches or in buildmode. So instead of having several containers for different loot you can just dump everything into a workbench. Made my life a lot easier.

Personally I found the .38 pipe rifle to make a nice little short range plinker early on before you get much .308 and .45 ammo. Even after getting better rifles I still keep my ****** "Stengun mk0.1" for ***** and giggles. It's not like I need to conserve the ammo for it. Upgrading weapons is a must. Selling drugs you don't use is a great way to make some money since they got a high price/weight ratio.

Although I don't feel that the price to weight ratio matter as much in fallout 4 as other similar games due to the way junk works, it's still a nice pointer.

Don't rely too much on VATS, you are often more accurate on your own, but it is useful for spotting enemies(read: Ghouls) and shorter range engagements.

And don't go swimming in Swan's pond.
