That Settler clan must have some awesome stuff though because whole groups of heavily-armed raiders insist on raiding their one-room shacks.

Protip:
If at some point you drop frag mines in a location to kill monsters, and then that area later becomes a settlement… pick up your mines.

Because otherwise, some settler will kill himself on one, and then they will somehow know that it was YOU that killed him. And then they will all be filled with murderous rage against you.

This is great advice for the world’s countries as well.

By the way, if you’re on PC, try hitting Q on the loading screen.

I now challenge the readers of this thread to not notice the lack of doggy wang the next time they encounter Dogmeat.

This game is ruined for me now.

Woof!

I was going for the “Red Robin…Yumm!” commercial. We get these commercials but don’t have any Red Robin restaurants within a zillion miles.

I got it. I was just being a… dick. :-P

A quick note: If there are people like me who aren’t big on mods, at least on the first playthrough, I recommend one thing. I was feeling really constricted by the Field of View. It became obvious to me when I was looking for a body with power armor parts on it and took forever to find it. I finally relented and downloaded Fallout Tweaker by Bilago. It’s a neat little app that allows you to change the FoV and a few other things and it writes it to the .ini file.

What FOV should be used with 1920x1080?

AntediluvianArk · 2015-12-01T15:14:12.000Z

If you are on PC you an enter the following in console

fov 100 100

Use whatever numbers you choose, but I prefer 100 on 1920 X 1200. You need to do it each time you start the game, but that doesn’t bother me.

Yeah I use 100 for first person but 90 for third person. Of course YMMV. The article in PC gamer that I read about this, the author used 110, but I don’t recall the ratio.

Whatever you’re comfortable with. Some factors like the size of weapon models also plays a role in this. I generally go with 100-110.

If you write ‘refreshini’ afterwards it should save your settings.

Nice, thanks!

Dont hurt your experience, use mods.

There are at least two (what i consider) game breaking bugs that mods fix right now.

The rank 5 perk for melee is completely broken which is game breaking if you are melee.
A perk you gain from max relationship with a companion gives something like 2,000% extra accuracy against the head in VATS, instead of 20%. This means you basically always hit.

Beyond that, Full Dialogue Interface improves the dialog system A TON. Settler renaming lets you rename settlers so they aren’t all… settler.

I also believe that a mod (or console command) to increase settlement max size is all but required if you do much with settlements. The current max size is too small to really customize your settlement much beyond just throwing up random turrets for defense level.

It would be nice if when you assigned someone it changed their name from “Settler” to whatever they were doing: Guard, Farmer, Scavenger.

I wouldn’t think that is next level programming or anything.

There’s not a lot of games that show animal or monster genitals. Or for that matter human genitals. I can’t think of any AAA games offhand that do.

I dunno, didn’t Bethesda cop some internet flack for their more ‘realistic’ horses in Oblivion?

I thought it was all related to the horse armor DLC fiasco and not this, but maybe I just don’t remember this part…
