Fallout 4 - spoiler version Options

Yeah... The irony of me starting this thread is not lost on me



But go right ahead! This is the thread for Fallout 4 quest spoilers as well as hints and tips on... how to.... build something.. maybe... Oh, I don´t know. Just spill the beans, will you!

Exciting news. Today Alice found some pieces of that nice looking power armor I mentioned. It's called the X-01. So far she has the head, arms, and chest pieces. Apparently the power armor you find in the wasteland is different depending on your level, so we should hopefully find the leg pieces soon.


Alice has also been helping the Brotherhood of Steel a bit more. They have several types of side quests available, like getting farms to supply food or finding technical documents for their scribes. Alice's favourite kind of quest is the Squire escort. Basically you get a young kid to follow you as you clear a location of enemies. Since Squires are children Alice doesn't need to worry about them in combat, and she gets paid well to do it.

Had a really great fight earlier on. We saw some BoS folks out on patrol so we followed them and helped them fight some Super Mutants. Then the vertibird that arrived to pick the squad up attracted some raiders. During the ensuing fight, the vertibird got shot down and landed in a parking lot - massive explosions everywhere, bits of raider flying around. It was so chaotic and exciting. Random encounters like this are one of my favourite things about Fallout, and it makes the world feel so alive.

The Squire seemed to have fun too.

I had a Vertibird land on me yesterday!

Damn thing got shot down by a large group of Muties down on the south part of the map. The Brotherhood thought they would fly in and lay the smackdown. The trouble was the muties were packing even more serious firepower. The Vertibird spun around in the air in loops and then crash straight into the hill where I was watching.

It landed right on top of me and I lost 85% of my health. Lol.

I have just started playing with the Power Armor. Beth did it really well and the whole thing feels great. Really nice to be able to mix and match the sets and put different paint jobs. Have not tried the jet packs yet, but it sounds very cool. Took a journey into the Glowing Sea and finally found Virgil.

Vertibirds are constantly getting shot down around me. They must have really low health or something because they seem to just drop out of the sky when anything so much as glances at them. It looks really cool though.

Alice has been adventuring with companions recently.

First was Piper, the journalist from Diamond City. She and Alice became best friends almost immediately. They both like helping people, and talking their way out of tricky situations. As a character, Piper is pretty interesting. She really is just trying to help people, and Alice was happy for her to tag along.

Then we met Cait, the cage fighter from The Combat Zone. At first Alice wasn't sure about her since Cait just likes fighting, drugs and alcohol. After a while though we learned a bit about her backstory and we started to like her more, then we did her personal quest in which she asks you to help cure her drug addictions. Long story short, Alice now gets the Lover's Embrace xp bonus whenever she sleeps in a bed with Cait nearby

What level were you when you did this?

I journeyed down south with Cait but the Gunners and those droids kept kicking my butt. They have a very damaging laser blast that shoots out of their head. Lol. I was only level 13 and I think the droids were level 22 or something. I told Cait to just 'deal with it' and decided to go back to the Vault later.


Shame about the Brotherhood, Hazmick. Avoiding the quests until a bit further in has always been my plan in Beth games. I am avoiding Minuteman at the moment for the same reason. Having raiders attack my base and destroy things would drive me insane.

And for people new to the game there is a root cellar in the rear yard of one of the houses in Sanctuary. Perfect for a character that is going to avoid the MQ and settlement building, and play as a smuggler type. It is a really tiny home base with only a bed and some shelving. I have placed an item in the storage chest to see whether it resets.

I think I was about level 50 or 51. The only things in the game I have serious trouble with are followers of Atom and their gamma guns. +99 rads per shot, and it's an automatic weapon? nope nope nope nope get me out of here. Those Assault Droids you're on about are tough too, especially that laser beam attack they can do. Their arms are the weak points - just shoot them off and most robots set on fire.

You'll know when the time comes to make a choice. You visit Virgil for a second time and get a quest objective to build something, and optional objectives to ask for help from each faction. I should have saved the game then but I wasn't paying attention
