I diverted to a few other locations on the trek, but eventually ended up at the Corvega factory. They also look awesome bloated, warped and dressed in the same ragged clothing you can find on your travels.

Ghouls are much more aggressive and much more zombie-like than previous games. I got mobbed by my first crowd of feral ghouls at the Bedford Train Station. The Corvega factory is enormous and highly vertical. book in Shaun’s room into Luck, hoping it would pay off in higher critical chances. I also tossed my free point from the You’re S.P.E.C.I.A.L. I pushed perception up to keep from being surprised and I’m constantly getting surprised. I keep finding myself in “caution” or “danger” with no concept of where the threat is coming from. Here’s a little video of me and robot getting chummy (if you skip to 1:49, you can hear him call me “Miss Jimmy”, which is still awesome):Īs I noted in the first installment, I’m not enjoying the new perception/compass marking system. I’ll be nice to you and save your settlement, but I’m going to take all your tato’s as well. I want to see how common modified/higher-quality gear will be in the world in general before I dedicate my upgrade opportunities to it.Īs far as personality goes, I’m playing as a kind-hearted goody two-shoes with a minor streak of impishness.


I have determined two things: a) apparently screws did not survive the apocalypse very well and b) I’m going to have to dump a lot of upgrades into crafting perks to do anything really cool. At the moment I’m ignoring those perks. Character BuildingĪs for regular crafting, I’m getting the hang of that much more easily. In any case, once I realized that I destroyed all my workbenches, I reverted to an old save. Complex items, like workbenches, require the second rank of the “Local Leader” perk (which unlocks at level 14) and other items, like picket fences, can’t be crafted at all. For these items you must either leave them as they are, or store them for later use. Turns out you can’t build everything you scrap. Once I realized that I could scrap things, I tore it down and scrapped everything, being under the assumption that I could rebuild anything I needed. You know what they say about assuming: don’t do it. At first I didn’t realize that I could scrap things in the environment to make room, so I built a nasty little shack in the middle of the road. There were a number of false starts as the entire process of community building is given almost no explanation. I pushed through the mini-quests to outfit sanctuary hills. I can smelt iron and quilt a mattress, but the technological intricacies of sheets and pillows elude me!
