Did the Dunwich Bores (sp) today. Freaky as fuck. Jumped down into the water and retrieved the knife.
Mission was good. Reward was a bit meh.
I've got a shotgun that will take a room full of anything out in seconds flat, what do I need that shitty knife for.
Am I missing something?

Playstyle. Some people are all about the melee. Not me, but i do carry the knife just in case i wanna merc someone silently. I prefer my gauss rifle from a very far distance.
True enough.
I've got a shotgun and a .44 for up close and personal although the pistol can be a bit cumbersome especially against ghouls. I prefer my 50cal sniper rifles.
I've just got a recon scope for one but I'm still getting used to it, didn't realise the magnification would be so great.

Recon scopes are great for my playstyle because i don't even fast travel anymore. I use a vertibird to travel from place to place, get dropped off at a location near to where my mission is, post up on a nearby hill and bombard the area with artillery while i snipe. You can't beat an explosive shotgun for clearing rooms like you said though. At least i haven't found anything better yet.
With my current spec, i do 6.3x damage with any ranged sneak attack with a silenced weapon. You can put a silencer on the gauss rifle and charge it up...it hits SO fucking hard.
Wow.
You've got that shit nailed down.
What have you invested in perkwise to get up to x6.3 damage in sneak? I'm still at x2.5 but I don't pit a lot of thought into stuff.
I got local leader recently and can't figure out how to get people to go to other settlements.

Thanks homie.
For local leader you go into workshop mode and open the "move to" option. For example, it's the X button on Xbox one.
My build so far is full points in all of the following for combat: Sniper, Rifleman, Ninja, Mr. Sandman, Sneak, Action Boy, Strong Back, Quick Hands, and Better Criticals. I have others, but they are largely non combat related. Currently working on Gunslinger, because i like the Deliverer.
I'm level 72 closing in on 73, but i saw there is no level cap so i just want to max everything eventually.

Some people might go "Strong back? How is that combat related?" If the shit hits the fan, it's a huge benefit to be able to use AP to run if you're over encumbered.Thanks homie.

I'm only at 42. I'm only up to the point in the main quest where you have to go to the glowing sea. I've mainly been mooching about doing side missions.
Thanks for the heads up on local leader, I knew it must be something fairly simple. I only want it so I can build up each settlement one at a time.

Slightly connected, I did the silver shroud quests the other day and it was only when I out the armour on that I realised all me carry capacity was coming from crafting pocketed armour. Rectified that now by putting some points into the strength perks.

For that part, it makes it a lot easier if you have a high charisma. I don't want to spoil it further, but you'll be able to convince an npc to lead you down the right path rather than have to do a "gopher" mission for them to give you the info you need.
I'll throw some points at that next then.
I love this game.

Me too. When my kid goes down for a nap i will be hopping on that shit, and talking to you about it has definitely got me amped about it today.
If you want to level up fast, i posted a video in this thread about the BOS radiant quest "Learning Curve". It's 1 level about every 5-10 minutes on average.
I'll check it out. Thanks. I've done a few quests for them, but not many.
Sandman kills are awesome! I still think you should be able to do them in Power Armour, though. I mean, hey, if you're that asleep that you didn't hear a guy in Power Armour walk into your place after he kills a bunch of your buddies, I think I should be allowed to murder your stupid ass silently with a knife while still wearing the coolest armour in the game!

Speaking of Power Armor, i have a question for y'all. Why am i reading about so many people not wanting to use theirs? I've read so many people bitching about a lack of fusion cores and repair materials.... how is that possible? I never have less than 100 fusion cores at any given time (i think it's close to 150 or so atm i stopped counting). The Nuclear Physicist Perk (which i only have 1 rank of) lets you have 2 times the length of use maxed out. I really don't get it. Anyone able to drop some knowledge on me i'm missing?
For me the power armor makes the game look weird and I don't like the way the game plays while you are in the armor. I use them on really tough missions but I really go at it without 99% of the time. Also the cost to repair is quite high in materials so I'm never fully armed. I can see how someone would love using it, but it's just not for me.

Would you mind explaining further what you mean by this please? I ask because the only difference i've seen is the HUD change.
The hud part is what did it for me because it just looks strange and for some reason it bothers me. It's also the thud noise when running, it's the bar on the bottom of the screen and having to readjust to different meters, I'm lazy, seriously, I just want to know what I'm looking at and not think. Really, as I type this it just sounds like I'm pissing and moaning over meaningless things, but I'd rather just round around without the armor.

I gotcha. No i don't think you're moaning about it. I asked the question after all.
I see so many differences in playstyles it's great to get fresh takes on the game. For example i compulsively pick up everything i can find and rarely if ever drop any junk before depositing it into my storages/workshops. I have to be balls deep inside of a long ass location to even consider it. Therefore i don't run out of building materials... ever. I sell or break down my shit accordingly and go find another mission or location.
Also, i don't really run anymore. I pretty much sneak everywhere unless i'm doing something in a settlement or town that doesn't require it. The clanking never occurred to me.
I kinda get what
@hit4me4 is saying, though. I like the armour for the really heavy fights, but otherwise I'd rather snipe with my Gauss Gun from far away, or, if the enemy is still stupid enough to charge the guy who just wrecked their whole team, then at point blank range. Ludicrous gibs!
@Alienator : I've never had a problem with power cores either, except in the beginning. Getting tossed around like a ragdoll by a Deathclaw taught me a lesson! LOL!

I play on the xbox one, so i haven't used a mod. Come to think of it i don't think i've ever used a mod. Although i have watched videos of some hilarious ones.
