For competition it might be a bit dicey.. as the MCM menu is really changeable. . But for your own play through or challenge, it might be useful. |

If you've never done the Boston Mayoral Shelter crawl I highly recommend it! This was the first time I've ever done it and it was exciting going in and coming out! Best old ruin crawl to date for me! :fallout: |

Yeah, I like the mayoral shelter... Especially when I have the key. My favorite though is corvega. I think because there are 6 (perhaps 7 though I've never found the 7th) entrances, and the tone of the whole adventure varies with which door you start with. |

Darcy is level 43 now too. She has been busy scavin' and doing Railroad stuff; now with MacCready. I don't know if Darcy can stand him long enough to get his perk, and when she brought up the "relationship question" last night he was very non committal. He is always asking if she's impressed yet...to that she replies "with what? You don't do anything but get in the way." She is awaiting the time when it is just her and Dogmeat or a non-talking bot. I haven't posted any pics of Darcy, so here ya' go.

I've never tried MacCready as a companion. 'Course, I really don't like having companions in the first place... and Dogmeat drives me insane. He is missing some very important doggy commands like "Shut UP!" "STOP whining!" "Go lay DOWN!" and of course the most common doggy command "Open that freakin' door ONE more time, I going to turn you into a hot dog, you worthless SOB.. WITH mustard and ketsup!" ;) Oh yeah, nice pics, eh? :) Edited by neildarkstar, Jul 31 2017, 04:08 PM.

Darcy is level 48 now and playing on "Hard" difficulty. She is slowly exploring the Commonwealth, working further south and south east. She "helped" the Minutemen retake the Castle; that was a tougher fight than she remembered with the Queen needing 8 crit headshots from her Righteous Authority (should be 900+ damage for the crits each...whatever) and numerous other hits to fry her. Bonus was no body to screw up Darcy's construction efforts! Spoiler: click to toggle After the Castle she traveled more with MacCready and finally got Killshot. He is now guarding Somerville ;) I know Neil has some hate for Dogmeat, and yes all followers can be/are a PITA, but at least I can see and shoot over him, his carry capacity is nice and I still have the Lone Wanderer perks. He is stylin too :) Spoiler: click to toggle For those that are bot builders the Scrapper perk is nice. Whether it is worth it to you is the question. Here is Scrapper 2 with a "nice but worthless" pipe found on a supermutant. Synth Institute weapons with modifiers are really good to scrap. Spoiler: click to toggle Here is Darcy overseeing construction of Starlight. Definitely not up to Neil's standards, and more of a second tier effort for her.

Eh, it's not that actually hate Dogmeat, in fact I feel bad every time I see him wandering around Sanctuary, but... I just can't stand the totally meaningless and unrealistic audio the devs chose to load on him. Dogmeat's feet sound like a herd of turtles in full stampede, and he's always whining except when he's barking. I just can't handle the immersion breaking racket. :) I build robots to take care of my supply routes, and that's about it. Once in a while I use one as a guard, but really just having the thing wander around the settlement looking for things to do makes for a better guard anyway. I see you went with walls for Starlight... I gave up on walls for settlements, they are useless. Perhaps worse than useless, because you tend to think they will stop something. They don't. Mater of fact, I got the notice Starlight was under attack sometime yesterday (RT) and so of course I responded. When I got there, I discovered Starlight had been attacked by a horde of feral ghouls, and even better... they were all on the second story and roof of my house! My machine gun turrets were picking them off of the roof and through the windows! EDIT: It occurs to me that Dogmeat suffers from the same malady that effects all of Bethesda's companions, whether it's Skyrim or FO4. They just never shut the hell up, and it becomes intolerable when they have nothing new to say so they just keep repeating themselves every 30 seconds or so. I won't travel with Ada for the same reason (except when necessary to complete the Mechanist stuff of course). Add in that the conversation is one-sided, like Ada says "My data banks are still gathering massive amounts of information about the Commonwealth." and I want to say "Great! So... what are you going to do with all this information once it's complete?" Of course, I CAN'T... I don't give voices to 90% of my home-made robots for the same reason.

The only FO I played much was 2 (maybe). I got Dogmeat - and then died over and over again trying to keep him alive. Can't go there EVER again. No animals, no people. Nopenopenope. Just got done with Serana in this last LotD playthrough, heaved a HUGE sigh of relief to leave her sitting in Ft Dawnguard. |

The flowers and ...what, ferns? must be a mod, eh? I don't recognize them from in-game. I've often thought it'd be cool if we could plant some of the flowers that we find when out and about. Especially Tarberries, but the wild tato plants, hubflowers, and carrot blossoms would be very nice in a garden. |

Neil, I'll stick to putting walls up :) Yeah, I know the spawn points inside the settlements and have my turrets set accordingly, but I have found that walls do keep some of the riffraff out, or channel them to my settlement entrances which are extremely well defended. Everyone has their own experiences and preferences as it should be. For me, seeing hordes of leveled Charred (other much higher characters) at Finch, Nordhagen and others outside the walls and being dealt with by my defenses makes it worth it to me. Yeah, at Finch and Nordy Gunners spawn inside but it's no worse having the walls up. Hell at Sanctuary Raiders have resorted to shooting through the gaps in junk fencing before, and being just noisy dumbasses until I found and killed them. I know walls are far from perfect, and knowing spawn points you can let you turrets do their thing....that said.I like to hamper the mobs access to my stuff as much as possible. Plus I just like doing it, and it makes me feel better ;) On the bot thing. Well, you know I love to build and craft, so naturally I build a crap load of bots and they can be magnificent! I'll take a maxed out twin gatling laser hover bot over 5-6 settlers (or more) any day. For a follower, they are peerless really. Powerful, accurate, tough and 300 lb carry cap. That's pretty damn good! |

That's just a part of that preference thing for me. I don't really care how good a companion is, or how much they can carry, I just prefer to go it alone unless I happen to actually LIKE the NPC... and some I DO like, but of course, they always start saying the same stupid things over and over, so they gotta go when they won't shut up and start making noise. Come to think of it, I'm the same way in RL. When things make noise, they gotta go, whether it's air conditioning units, computer fans, wives, brother in laws, or whatever... ;) |

Kane, Yeah, the likes and dislikes are frustrating and tiresome. With MacCready I was going "okay, so I can be sarcastic with xxx and you like it, but being sarcastic to xxx and you don't approve." Now I put up with the companions that I want their perk, and then goodbye. Followers Dogmeat and silent bots excluded :) In my early FO4 days I ran with Piper for probably 500 hours or so...I still think she is smokin' hot in combat armor and bra and panties :O |

Hunh... I kinda thought that when the companion left, so did the perk... :) Now you're making me think that I might have to take a companion after all... Eh, nah... BTW, I wanted to clarify that I really didn't mean to sound critical over the wall thing, it was just intended as a conversational comment. I realized later that it might be seen as criticism, and I truly didn't mean it that way. While I don't really like to have companions, sometimes an ally or two can be cool. I was traveling down the gorge that leads from Zamonga to Bedford Station, and happened to be going at the same time as two of my supply route robots. When we got to Bedford Station, the ghouls attacked, and it was the damndest free for all I ever saw. Ghouls didn't even have a chance, and the best part is that my companions weren't companions, eh? :D Edited by neildarkstar, Aug 3 2017, 07:35 PM.
