Current Events > My Fallout 4 playthrough...awesome or pathetic?

(+) Yeah! (+)

My playthrough was on very easy, and I'm approaching level 300. At this point, it's basically God Mode. I started out with 10 in every stat, thanks to the Dogmeat thing. I have all perks, all magazines, strongest possible armor, and fully upgraded legendary weapons. My weapon of choice is Spray n' Pray.

I sided with the Railroad, the Institute and the Brotherhood are long gone. The Prydwen and the C.I.T. Ruins...I wrecked their s*** pretty good.

I have over 3500 stimpaks. I hardly had to use stimpaks at all, and they just piled up over time (stimpaks are an item I never sell). I never use chems so I just sell all those.

I get my income by selling water, Sanctuary has reached over 1000. I filled the river with as many purifiers as possible, and filled up the place with water pumps..hundreds, because I gave myself more space with the workshop glitch.

With Sanctuary, I put all my eggs in one basket...I emptied out every other settlement, and dumped everything in the Sanctuary workshop. There are 20 settlers, and they produce tons of food. My bed, weapons and equipment are all in my house. I built a wall around the whole place, with many floating turrets all across. I made Sanctuary Great Again.

My companions are all at the (empty) Starlight Drive In, just standing around with nothing to do. Preston was annoying me and giving me shit for blowing up the Institute, I wish I could kill him but I can't. X6-88 was with the Institute, but he's pretty chill about it...what a bro.

I was on PS4...so PC users, screw you and your console commands. I achieved God mode by working for it. Yeah I took advantage of some glitches, but typing in a cheat code is even worse.

Good choice. I sided with the Minutemen, but I made peace with the Railroad. In my idea of the ideal outcome, both continue to exist with the Minutemen providing a 'government' and military, and the Railroad providing a basic government department/party for Synth rights.

I mean, this, I guess. That personally isn't my idea of fun. The whole point if rpg style games for me, is the progression. I like starting out weak and becoming stronger. The longer it takes, the better.

Early on, I was a hoarder. I grabbed everything in sight and got over-encumbered, but I didn't want to drop any of it. I literally walked to places in order to store and sell them.

Thank god for the perks that allow running/fast travel when you're carrying too much. I no longer pick stuff up, since I just have the thousands of purified water to sell.

I've been playing the hell out of F4 lately. I just started a new game after actually compleating the main story for the first time. Before, like most Bethesda games I would just mess around and never get to the main quest.

The past few playthrough I've been picking a different settlement and building it up. Last game a made a town around Red Rocket gas station. The one before that I made a western-like town at Nordhagen beach. Usually before I would just make Sanctuary nice.

After a while I pretty much become a god, but I still have plenty of fun.

Piper. My character is female, too.

My Red Rocket Station is a mess, too..I have like 15 suits of power armor all standing around. I put them all there because I don't have much space at Sanctuary. When I started the game I tried to make settlements look nice, but then I stopped caring about aesthetics.

Very easy? I thought normal was too easy, tbh. I went for stealth build with massive bonuses to silences pistols, automatic rifles, and explosives.

The Deliverer (silenced 10mm pistol) and Spray n Pray (silenced .45 smg) were basically the only two guns I needed. I also had a good sniper pistol, but it was hardly necessary. There was also a custom Auto Shotgun that I used a lot.

The Spray n Pray gun is sold by Cricket and doesnt seem very useful until you get its full Lv 4 upgrades AND get 5/5 points in explosive. I played solo mode and demolished anything that I came across at level... 30-40?? The only times I even needed drugs was when I was forced to fight enemies that were aware of my presence.

This game is best played like metal gear solid.

The smg just absolute chewed through anything I came up against. It was great at hitting things out of range and had area effect damage.

Spray n Pray is my favorite weapon. Don't need to be very accurate, just shoot the area and the enemies take damage. Good for clearing out Mirelurk eggs, and I don't have to worry about hurting my companions thanks to the perks.

I've gotten so used to the weapon, sometimes I don't even directly aim at enemies...I consciously shoot the floor/wall and the explosive rounds kill them.

Anything beyond hardcore is pathetic.
