Probably because they've been playing it too much consecutively.

I hear this for every new game without fail.

People need to learn to step back from a game for a while and then jump back in later, so you don't burn yourself out.

Ya I can only really play on weekends, so I think this is key. Although personally I love exploring every tiny corner of the game and reading every computer, note, etc. so even if I could play daily I'd probably not be bored. I still haven't even gone to Diamond City yet, but found a ton of places on the map surrounding it already.

I had to FORCE myself to go last week to see what people talk about. Checked out shops, helped some radio station guy, and then left lol.

There are shops in this game? I just "trade" with settlers (they give me stuff for free).

Every full fledged shop in the game has a unique item(or multiple) so you should try to check them all out if you can.

One of my favorite melee weapons in the game is the Rocksville slugger, a baseball bat that has 40% AP cost reduction, is sold by a crazy baseball guy in Diamond City. It's so funny going into VATS on a big enemy and beating them to death with like 10 hits without running out of juice.

the 2076 World series bat is GOAT

I just had to put down a whole settlement because I accidentally threw a grenade which ended up killing someone. I ran away at first but, they wouldn't stop shooting

No water effect from him landing in the water? What a shame. I hate how shit like that is still present considering where we are technology wise.

Aside from that, that was pretty funny.

That happened to me, but because I accidentally fell too far in Power Armor...

The mod that most likely influenced Bethesda's settlement management system http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/36922/?tab=1&navtag=http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/ajax/moddescription/?id=36922&preview=&pUp=1

Good stuff @The Slaj Jazz for the hotel. I need to make my settlements look awesome as everyone else's.
I hit level 105 and decided that is was probably time for a new playthrough

First Hotel of Sanctuary

Yo you built this??? And is that a basketball hoop?? Wow. I'm in awe lol.

Yo can I ask a question here, Seems people can build cool things like Jukeboxes and fancy lights etc. is this some sort of perk that unlocks this or what?

For mine I used mods

So my third and probably last character is an intelligence focused gun user who is a terrible monster of a person.

Even without any hard morality mechanics it feels weird playing a character with no morals.

First character I made I play with my gut, the second one is kind of an asshole, and this latest one is just evil.

I know you can play the game being a part of several factions and such but I like the narrative I'm running where each of my three characters go in different directions so my playthroughs overlap very little.

A shame I have to wait till level 30 just to lift those cool looking utility overalls from Sturges or Tom, it feed into the Westland scientist thing I'm going for with character 3.



One of the main draws to an intelligence build is hacking, where you can have KLE0(who is basically a legendary Assaultron) follow you around and pretty much annihilate everything in your way whilst being incredibly hard to kill and self repairing. If she dies she respawns in Good Neighbor after a few days.

Percy the vendor Mr. handy in Diamond City is hackble as well and you can take from his entire inventory for free.

I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say fancy lights.
The jukebox should be available from the start I believe. It looks really nice and plays very soothing classical music.

Do you mean this?

I'm just talking about unlocking more decorations and various things in general but I think it was just collecting magazines of sorts

 

[Asodimazze]

Finished the game yesterday, loved it. can't wait for the DLCs =)

The institute X-01 paint job is way too badass

 

[Pterodactyl]

What do you mean by "finished" exactly?

 

[The Slaj Jazz]

I think he probably meant the main story line

Ha that bat sounds cool. I was being sarcastic about the shops, i they exist just actually haven't encountered on yet.

I've got 12k caps burning a hole in my pocket. Finally went to diamond city, i'll have to spend some.

 

[Pterodactyl]

I really wanted Tinker Tom's clothes and hat.

Like... I really wanted them


And I fucking got them, via the sawed-off discount.

Yeah my gut always tells me to do pussy heroic shit the first time. Then the second playthrough I beat the shit out of the sick, wastelander guy who asks for water and take his clothes.

Like in Fallout 3 Broken Steel when you can nuke the citadel instead of nuking the Enclave titan thing. And on the way back in the vertibird all the Brotherhood guys are cheering and so happy they beat the enclave.
"Wow, I can't wait to get back to the Citadel and celebrate!"
I'm just like

Haven't played the game in 3 weeks but popped in to say how horrible every settlement looks, no matter how well crafted, when all the things people spend hours to make have literally no variation outside of bad looking board walls. There needs to be some variety as free DLC.

Also want to play with some mod that massively increases mob damage and yours by a bit, something like 1x/1.5x player and 3/4x enemy. Sucks that I remember being lvl 30 with a 110 damage .50 cal sniper and doing just a third of a regular gunner's HP. South and south eastern territories have pretty high lvl enemies and there was an article I read months ago that stated enemies have their own lvls.
