newbies guide for Fallout 4

Damn. Well, I guess I won't be finishing the main story then because I flatly refuse to record that message - especially after Shaun told me it was an order. Like, who does he think he is ordering his own mother around?!

Well you can always go for the minute men ending by getting banished from the institute via either shooting father or someone else there.

I've already killed all the raiders and freed the slaves. It seems like it's not possible to make the freed traders part of my growing Minuteman empire, which is disappointing.

I'm gonna hurry through exploring the theme parks and then go to Far Harbor.

Ah gotcha. I know where things are but not if you can access everything.

Lots of X-01 power armor, full suit of legendary X-01 and a great suit of T-51 and lots of bonkers weapons.

Thinking of a pipe gun only run or Salty Seadog run.

I don't really want to do that either.

I've already got the Black Devil X-02 armor, so don't really need anything else.

I did buy some legendary weapon from a trader in Nuka-World but I didn't like it so have popped it in storage somewhere.

Splatter canon is really good. Even without commando perk it will eat whatever.

Main thing with the 2 is story perks you get.

That was the one I bought. I didn't find it particularly effective / impressive compared to what I've already got. I ended up blowing up most of the raiders with mini nukes and missiles.

I've looked at those. I'm doing fine without them so meh.

EDIT: OK, so I went to visit the Hubologists. I didn't realize just how much wasteland there is to explore outside the park itself! And those giant cave crickets look like wētā!

Also, there's a lot of star cores to find! Like 30 or something. Crazy.

Cave crickets are the worst creatures in the fame lol. Vicious SOBs lower level.

Splattercamnon is OP if it's automatic. Each subsequent hit deals more damage than the one before it.
Far Harbor has critters that can shrug off mini nukes or whatever.

In D&D terms it's something like 1d8. 2d8, 3d8. 4d8 etc per hit. If you've invested in commando it's great but it's decent without commando perk.

In survivor mode rockets weight 7 pounds each and a mini nuke is 12.

If a weapon has a flat damage boost it's better as automatic, if it's a two shot or instigating effect semi auto. Things with riders like kneecapping are great on autos.

If it helps, you get to choose what you record, and it most certainly does not have to be pro-Institute.

Institute ending is arguably the best one morally. Don't want to give away spoilers.

One of the "good" endings is arguably evil as well.

Lots of Grey in 3 of the endings.

Oh OK! I was given a script and assumed I would have to say exactly that.

Is that the broadcast in diamond city?
