Spoiler

i dont think i got that far with railroad - it started during the quests with BOS when they were preparing to build the massive robot

i'd like to progress the minute men, but i keep getting 'settlement needs your help' so i think i need to progress somewhere else before i can help them

 

[Jack!]

Spoiler

Just did tactical thinking - didn't realise as soon as i took the quest railroad would be my enemy

The next quest had a better idea where it said 'warning - when you get on the vertibird the institute will hate you for ever are you sure etc'

Oh well

Spoiler

Yeah, it's an inconsistency - because if you go the Institute route, when you do Mass Fusion, before you get in the relay to teleport it tells you the Brotherhood will be permanent enemies.

Spoiler

Does Tactical Thinking start when you see Desmonda and have to choose to side with the Minutemen or Railroad

Spoiler

I'm not quite sure - the Railroad, Brotherhood and Minutemen all have a very similar ending, the mission name is actually the same (The Nuclear Option) because all three want to end the Institute, if you go with the Institute you get a different final mission called Nuclear Family. However, the Brotherhood want to destroy all synths, whereas the Minutemen and Railroad both want to save anyone they can - so they're both very similar - I think you can ally the Minutemen with the Railroad.

Spoiler

You can't progress the Minutemen, they only have 5 story quests, once you get to the Settlement needs your help stage you've already done all you can with them, those quests go on forever.

Warning - this is properly a spoiler, only look at if you don't mind knowing what all the possible story quests are, how you can play them all and at what stage you'll become enemies with one faction or another.

Helpful Information

• You can be in all factions at once if you want to.
• I have marked the only times where a faction will turn permanently hostile.
• You obviously don't want to go into a faction's base and start shooting them and this will make them hostile but not permanently.
• There's only two saves you need to make i.e before "Mass Fusion" and before "End of the Line"

There's a glitch to bypass it if you're desperate

Just tried this out. Worked a treat cheers.

 

[Crybert]

I used it too. Now my island will be complete

 

[Crybert]

Anyway to take screenshots on the ps4? Taking them on my phone looks s**t

The share button on your controller.

Nice one mate. I'll give that a try. How do I get them from there to say my email or my phone?

Never done it, but I assume you can put them on to a USB stick in Application Save Management or whatever it's called...

 

[Crybert]

I'll give that a bash mate cheers

 

[The Russian.]

Guys how do I get the power Suit out of here

 

[Jay_A]

Guys how do I get the power Suit out of here

That will be connected to a terminal. Check for wires running away from the cage. Or post up a pic from slightly further back as I can't work out where that is.

It's on the train line near the aeroplane.


Edit: yeah I need to hack the computer inside s cabin.

My radiation bar is high, what do i need to reduce it?

 

[Ben.Block]

Rad away.

Take rad-X before you go into a radiation zone or wear a hazmat suit or power armour to slow down the build up.

 

[Marc.]

Hacking terminals. I know there's more to it than just randomly clicking things, but I'd be fucked if I know how to do it properly. Same with lockpicking - I'm hilariously woeful at it

 

[Crybert]

Terminals are straight forward once you know how.

Find a word for instance

WOOD

It will then give you a likeness rating say 1. So the password has at least 1 of those letters in it in the same place. Next look for a word with any of those letters in the same place ie

BODE

so the second letter in BODE has a O in it and in the same position. It's difficult to explain but if you understand what I've just written it becomes fairly station forward

I only figured that out at around level 15! Just guessed up until then. Level 21 now and absolutely love it

Didn't know it meant in the same place! Will help me no end that.

 

[JP83]

It gets more fun, the more difficult the terminals, but following that logic, it becomes infinitely easier.

 

[Marc.]

I too never realised that it meant that the letter was in the same position within the word. That makes it a lot more obvious to me now. All I need to do is actually play the bloody game! I might start over (again). Although this is my problem, I start about 1000 new games, get them to the same point, then stop playing for a long time. Once I return, I start a new game, rinse and repeat.

 

[Ray Gin]

I really need to get back into this game. Just couldn't get into it really which is weird as I loved skyrim.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah thats how is sussed it. The password has something in common with the spread of letters. Lock picking is a piece of piss Marc, lol.

 

[Crybert]

I'll upload some images of my spectacle island settlement. Spent a ridiculous amount of time on it and I'm quite proud of it. Tried to show the missus and she almost slapped me hahah! It's official, my life is more interesting in fallout

 

[imprezaworks]

Be interested to see chris. I lost interest in building a base after about thirty seconds lol

I always break the Bobby pins. Always. I'm doing it right, too!

 

[JP83]

I always break the Bobby pins. Always. I'm doing it right, too!

There's a perk for unbreakable bobby pins. Think it's like the last one on the lockpicking perks though. I have it. Just sayin'...

 

[Crybert]

I have a perk where your Bobby pin never breaks.

I've got 19 settlers at spectacle island and it's fairly big. I wasn't that interested in building initially but once you reach a level where you have s**t loads of wood and steel etc it's good fun. I just look at some of the epic builds on Google. Some effort these guys go to

 

[Ben]

I'm stuck right at the beginning, think I'm going to start again. I had to clear some people out of a power station or something but I died whilst attacking them and every time I re-spawn I'm surround by 4 of them and die instantly.

Load the previous save. If you go into load you'll have a few there. Then you can save it somewhere safer. I made the same mistake. Is it the quarry?

Try going in to your pip boy as soon as you respawn and pump yourself full of stimpacks. May or may not help

 

[DrR]

This, not interested in building it at all.

 

[Jack!]

Getting the unbreakable pins is a waste of a perk - lock picking is quite simple as long as you've got a sensitive touch.

Put the pin in a position, I normally always leave it at 12 a clock and try it there first, then if it gets stuck and starts to rumble you need to move the pin to another position. The way in which it failed the last time is the indicator of what direction you need to move the pin and roughly how much.

Not long in to the game I ended up with maxed out (99+) pins because I broke so few. If you're careful and don't go any further when it starts to rumble, they don't break.

There is a bobblehead which increases the size of the "sweet spot".

When you start you can't stop

Wow they're good!

Is the power armour meant to hand from those yellow racks? Mine never does.

Assume you mean hang.

Nope.

You can link your PSN to your Facebook then upload your screenshots straight to your Facebook wall then save them to your camera roll from your Facebook to your phone

3.Valentine Are my top 3

 

[Crybert]

Dogmeat. Due to my carry weight. I can now carry 480

 

[Jay_A]

Piper, as you get extra XP for a limited time if you sleep with her.

Strong is hilarious.
