I never use preston even he give a useful perk. Without supplying him tons of ammo for some weapon he can use properly,casue the Ai has problems with the laser muskets they usually shot with one charge .

Also yeah the super mutant are annyoning. higher difficulities they ate tons of ammo .

I missed a few FO4 post of yours

So I have a few question:

Wich difficulity you play?

What kind of character are playing?

I find Preston makes a surprisingly fun companion. Not as much fun as Piper or Curie dressed in something skimpy, admittedly, but he's nowhere near as annying when he's following you around.

Diffculty is Normal. I tried everything from Very Easy to Survival and the only real difference seems to be how many times you need to shoot them in the head. So Normal.

What kind of Character? Well...

S6:P2:E10:C6:I10:A1:L1

Perks include Nerd Rage, Solar Power, Ghoulish, Toughness, Life Giver, Blacksmith and Big Leagues. I've also pumped a few levels into Charisma so I can get Local Leader.

Playstyle is sneak and then VATS attack with a serated switchblade. He needs a chunk more Agility to make that really work, but plenty of time for that. He doesn't wear armour as a rule, sticking to his sweater and slacks, and either a Ushanka (?) Cap or else a bowler hat.

He doesn't generally use firearms or explosives, although he'll make an exception for special circumstances. For instance, he's just got his hands on a Fat Man. Time to go liberate the Castle, I think

Interesting build,from the perks I assume your character regenerates hp quickly.

Well from the explosives mines are useful for making ambush you might consider them to use as backup if the AI screw up yours plans .).

I don't know Preston is really quiet companion compared to others. At least he doesn't give settlement quest that much when following.

I used mostly Cait,Curied,Dogmeat(without hmmm mods, currently he's only purpose is bait),Danse.

Yeah castle liberating well be sure to equip yourself with firepower to bring down the Queen.

Well, he will. Right now he's just turned level 18, so the only regeneration open to him is through Ghoulish. But that's the plan.

Yeah, a few well placed mines would have made life a lot easier there. I tend not to use explosives for some reason. Maybe I should make a build that focuses on them

Quiet is good

But yeah, once I have the perk, bye bye Preston

That's what the Fat Man is for

I love reading these. You always make me laugh!

 I expect everyone has locations that they generally try and avoid.

I try to avoid Concord. Not because I'm particularly anti-Garvey or anything like many people seem to be, but because it sort of feels like Bleak Falls Barrow to me. A necessary chore on the path of the plot, and not a particularly engaging one.
Another spot is Lexington, there's a covered walkway a little distance from the corvega factory, and there's a power-armored raider with a fat man sitting up there with excellent lines of sight. Every time I try sneaking around there, first I see the meter go [DETECTED] and then I hear the tell-tale whistling whoosh, and then everything goes white. That damn raider has excellent pin-point accuracy at super-long range with that weapon.

 I hereby poclaim "stupid" to be the official collective noun for supermutants

An excellent appellation, and one I wholeheartedly endorse.

 There's nothing worse than thinking of a clever plan only to have it fail because the other participants were too stupid to be played for fools.

Good! And thank you

I know what you mean. My usual start is

• Load from a vault exit save
• Redo my character before leaving
• Yeah-yeah-yeah my way through Coddsworth's existential angst.
• Grind a few levels building stuff in Sanctuary.
• Drift down to Red Rocket either looking for junk or for Dogmeat.
• End up outside the first house in Concorde looking for stuff to plant in Sanctuary
• Get sucked into the fight in the museum. Also there's good looting on them thar raiders.

But yeah, the game doesn't start until the token deathclaw is dead and the power armour I'm probably never going to wear is parked in Sanctuary. Everything up to that point is chargen

I had a fun fight there one time. I went there on a radiant for Preston and found a behemoth in the town. So I killed it, looted the superdupermart ... all was well. The thing is, I thought the behemoth had wandered into town from elsewhere. I hadn't realised it was a full time resident after you reach a certain level. So the next time I had business there, I crouched, fast travelled, and arrived practically standing on the respawned behemoth's feet.

So this is my first toon - FragilePistolsGuy - and I know from experience that if I can get a VATS lock on this things head and empty Deliverance into his cranium, I can probably kill him. It's just not so easy to get the camera angle to pan so high when I'm standing so close. So I'm there, fighting with the camera as behemoth-baby winds up to splat me when that raider you mention lets loose. I sneak well enough that he can't usually spot me, but he sure as hell can see the behemoth, and suddenly I'm tracking the behemoth's skull through a world of slow-motion orange fire.

Which is when my wife hands me plate of food and says "Dinner!" Arrrgh!

And so it begins

I keep thinking I should start a thread and see if we can come up with some more. An overkill of deathclaws. A fester of ferals. A barf of bloatflies, perhaps.

heheh. I actually used that line once in real life. My wife and I were decorating and I wanted her to move something up. Only she got flustered by something and moved it down. So I said "No! No! The other up!"

I can recommend it as a good way of getting your nose pulled

Just found this.

I used to love Wondermark. Good stuff!.
