Fallout 4 - 15 Things You Need Know To Before You Start Playing

[@liamdraper447]

Finally another guy who tells people to play open world bethesda games without using fast travel! It’s crazy how much stuff you just carelessly miss by fast travelling! Respect

My *_TOP TIPS_* (especially _Survival Mode_ )---> --> _Codsworth_ is available as a companion without first needing to free *Preston* . Simply enter *Concord* far enough that *Preston* and the Raiders start fighting, return to Sanctuary, and he can be hired. Taking him along to free *Preston* can give some affinity boosts. _Codsworth_ will give you a Purified Water on a continual basis just by talking with him, making him a solid companion for _Survival Players_ . --> _Need Caps?_ Stop at nearby *Abernathy Farm* , under the Power Pylon. Grab the 9 Melons, then speak with the daughter _Lucy_ . Keep picking the top dialogue choice about caps as currency. This will trigger an Easy speech check, and she will offer to buy Melons for 5 caps instead of 3. She can buy every Melon you have, on an ongoing basis, which can be lucrative if you turn Sanctuary into a Melon farm. However, if you make the Farm a settlement, she stops buying them. --> _Survival Players_ , besides planting *Tato* , *Mutfruit* and *Corn* for _Adhesive_ , plant *Razorgrain* . Cook *1 Razorgrain /1 Dirty Water* to make rad-free _Noodle Cups_ . They lower thirst one level, and hunger half a level. Check wandering vendor _Trashcan Carla_ and _Trudy at Drumlin Diner_ , South of Concord. Or find randomly as loot. --> *Weapon and Armor modifications* can be stripped and swapped onto your better gear. You can remove armor mods for free, but you will have to build a new mod for guns from components. Even without Gun Nut, you can build the base level mod, which will put the previously attached modification into your inventory, to put onto whatever. --> _Survival Players_ should build *15 more water supply than they have settlers* , minimum. Take out the water from the Workshop *every day* , and store it separately in another container. New Purified Water will be added every day *_if_* there’s little to no water already in the workshop. If you build a large enough water purification operation, a huge amount can get added daily. Use this for your travels, or stockpile, and sell the surplus. --> _Survival Mode_ features *Diseases* , acquired numerous ways. You can take *Antibiotics* , visit a *Doctor* , or *wait* until they go away eventually. Each disease has _different durations_ , lasting from *2-7 days* . The most debilitating are _Weakness_ (receive +20% damage), and _Infection_ (take damage over time, though it won’t kill you, will leave you with a sliver of health). These two diseases take *2.5 days* to go away. Find something safe to do, like decorating Sanctuary, or sleep it off. Sleeping causes a _disease check_ , so you might get sick again, but anything is better than Weakness or Infection. *Early game* , when resources are tight, you might be better off saving Antibiotics just in case for the debilitating diseases, and living with the others until they go away. -->Want to play _Survival Mode_ , but aren’t sure what starting SPECIAL to use? I’ve found the first 10-12 levels to be the hardest, and it’s worth going for strong combat skills first, at the expense of other areas. *Melee Builds* , get _Rooted_ (STR9) and _Blitz_ (AGI9) immediately. *9,1,4,3,1,9,1* _(Book END)_ . *VATS Guns* get _Penetrator_ (PER9) and _Concentrated Fire_ (PER10). *1,9,3,3,3,7,2* _(Book AGI)_ . You’ll get the *Perception Bobblehead* when you free Preston, so have a point saved, and put into Concentrated Fire mid-rescue. --> _Survival Mode_ players should seriously consider not using Power Armor. _Swimming_ is Survival’s Fast Travel. You’ll get around much faster and safer. _Aquaboy/girl_ perk will save you a ton of time. Without spoiling, the game gives you a quick means of crossing the map as you do the main story, if you dabble with the *Brotherhood of Steel* . --> _New Players_ : *Idiot Savant* isn’t a good choice for first timers. Enemies scale with you. You need to have good gear to survive, and easy and fast XP can leave you without enough time to explore and find good gear before the bad guys start hitting even harder. *You’ll get plenty of levels, faster than you think, even at 1 INT* . Growing powerful isn’t only a matter of levels. Having 1 INT will give you plenty of time to find what you need to survive. You’ll be stronger if you have great gear when you pop your next level. Take it easy, don’t rush, go slow, and you’ll be better for it. --> _Pass every speech check_ with *11 CHR* , 100%! Low CHR builds, don’t fret: assemble a 3-piece _CHR set of clothes_ . *Hat/glasses/suit* , for _+4_ . Most *Alcohol* adds _+1_ . Find *Daytripper* _+3_ . Better yet, craft *Grape Mentats* at a Chemistry Station _+5_ . There’s other ways, but with these, that’s a +13 buff already. *Bonus!* Your companion will come to your side and stay there if you crouch.

Don't go directly to Sanctuary! Big mistake. Head north instead then east and take on the raiders you come across. Avoid the bloat flies as they will kill you. Then head to the robot scrap yard and the satellite station. Take on all the raiders and stash your goodies somewhere. Go to the Red Rocket and defeat the mole rats. Build up Red Rocket as a settlement. I am at level 26 on Very Hard difficulty and I already have 8 full suits of Enclave power armor and 6 settlements.

Great video, although I'd like to add; 1 - Shelves are a bit quicker for xp than fence posts (as they have no clipping so you don't need to move to build repeatedly). 2 - In order to get the well rested buff you need to sleep for a minimum of 7hrs (in game time). 3 - Water production refresh is only 24hrs, not the 48 you mentioned. It may require you to walk out of render distance and back again for the refresh to take effect however. Extra caveat, this was all before any bug fixes or modifications that might be coming with the next-gen update, so take everything as a hopeful suggestion from prior experiences. Otherwise, cheers again for the video, and I hope everyone enjoys their playthroughs (new or veterans).
