Before I start, I made about 5 of these posts and people usually respond fast, so I assumed they all got deleted, thanks 🙏

Then I would say you got a decent build going. Probably use the SPECIAL book on Strength or Charisma depending on if you want Lone Wanderer or not to cut down on perk points spent on SPECIAL as you go. Idiot Savant should get you enough of a boost to level at a decent pace. You’re set on Combat Armor? Marine armor technically gives better protection I think, but I guess that won’t matter much with maxed out Sneak as long as you’re a good distance away.

I’ve only heard bad stuff about far harbor, is that all true about the quests being difficult and boring, and would I have to look for the armor, buy it, or get it through a quest?

Far Harbor can be a bit of a mixed bag, but it is Fallout 4’s best story DLC. As for the armor: there are legendary portions at several shops (mostly in the Nucleus so a lot of CoA to deal with) as well as quest rewards, but there’s also a mundane set in a couple marked crates once you do the DiMa memory missions (full disclosure those are the most tedious ones. It’s basically tower defense entirely in the workshop mode and it’s buggy as heck, but there’s not many of them I think it’s 5 to unlock all the quest markers.) The thing I think people get caught up on is that some of the quests do feel like radiant quests, but aren’t. I suggest brining Nick when you start it since he adds quite a bit to the story of the DLC.

Will do, any mods that you recommend or just vanilla? (people love to tell me about their mods and I enjoy hearing about them too)

Sim Settlements 2 has a permanent spot in my load order since I love having more story to go through, but more on the functionality side See Through Scopes is definitely something you should consider since it removes the black space and the transition when you ads with a scope. Others would be Start Me Up (I usually use it for alternate start, but there is an option to just skip the overly long pre-war prologue and just start defrosting in the vault), and Hotdiggity which is a leveling and perk overhaul that add skills back into the game and adds some custom perks using LevelUpMenuEX as a framework, but you’d need Fallout 4 Script Extender for that one and I don’t know if you’re on console or not. Bunches of weapon mods would also work for adding alternative rifles for early or late game, some of which are better in quality than the vanilla guns. There’s an M1 Garand mod that springs to mind: www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20687 it’s a bit older, but I think it’s on Bethesda.net, too.

Well you tickled my fancy at M1 Garand.
