    as someone with 1000+ hours in fallout 4. do what ever you want and save often
  • @tocheck8
    One thing to note if you leave power armor at a settlement make sure you take out the power core if not settlers will hop in them
  • @UberNeuman
    Another settlement needs your help. Another settlement needs your help. Another settlement needs your help.
  • @Painfulsigh
    When hacking, instead of running out of tries, get to your last one and back out. Your tries will reset so you can keep trying.
  • 1 ignore Preston Garvey 2 put Mama Murphy's chair in the river. 3 plant a melon next to the chair and assign Preston to farm it so he isn't anywhere near you to assign you any thankless jobs. 4 never turn on radio freedom. 5 Just wander around and do whatever you want.
  • The first thing you should NOT do in Fallout 4: Help another settlement
  • @MarbleThumbs
    It's funny that the Fallout hype train is back up and running, but Starfield is practically dead, I'm not complaining.
  • @IanPeon
    The Fusion Core advice is mostly sound, but if you plan on doing a high intelligence + Power Armor build from the start, you can unlock the Nuclear Physicist perk as early as you want to, which dramatically increases how long your Cores will last, and it's not that hard to find more along the way. This is a fun build, give it a try!
  • @BusinessMan1619
    The resurgence of new FO4 videos because of the Amazon show and upcoming game update is nice to see.
  • @DaHALOSHOCK
    As someone with over 3000+ hours in Fallout 4 i can easily say Fusion Cores are Everywhere in the starting region and if you want more just get the ammo finder perk and look in ammo boxes they can spawn in groups of four.
  • @TheSleyar
    number 10: not every settlement needs help
  • @bryanar4134
    Those settlements are not going to save themselves, time to put on the vault suit, get dogmeat and into the wasteland once more, even after 9 years.
  • @lou1958
    I'm surprised you didn't mention to never leave your power core in unattended power armor when you're going to be away for a bit.
  • @MOFH89
    I’ve never met a general who get ordered around as much as a vault dweller
  • @marconihimself
    "Save every hour or so" More like every 2 minutes if you wish to avoid freezes in boston.
  • @marcushailey8498
    One thing they didn't tell you: Don't leave your power armor suits at a full settlement. Settlers will use em. My last playthrough 2 of my suits were missing and only found 1 settler with it on. The other armor was customized😢.
  • uhh "don't travel alone" yeah about that, get used to you companion blocking your line of sight, its extra fun when using any kid of grenade
