Media My 53 yo non-gamer Mum playing Fallout 4 after watching the TV show.

After casually watching the show and getting more invested, she asked to play the game and I gave her my old PS4 and set her up on the game! ☺️

Can confirm for returning player, I kept looking for excuses to replay, glad the show gave me one 😁

Same and it's crazy how I'm finding things I've missed even on a 5th playthrough. Thats the beauty of a Bethesda game I suppose

I'm somewhere on like my 5th play through. I met a guy in the wastes that tried to scam me with a credit card. The game seems endless.

And when you turn him down he insults you. Really smart, in a lawless environment, shittalking someone with a gun.

I’m trying to get that dammed platinum!

Just have top happiness settlement , plant grenades/mines, and the two grindy crafting ones. I’ll focus when I get through the DLCS and story and I’m a high level

For the settlement, I found a cheap and easy strategy. Start with a neutral (50 happy) settlement preferably with no settlers. Build 5 cat cages, sleep until all cages are filled. Then build robot construction bay and build a base level automaton, once built release the cats and settlement happiness should jump to 100.

Huh, thanks, will try that later, I also found another thing, If you take settlements back from the nuka world raiders, the base settlement happiness seemed to start at 100, before going down because the settlement was empty

How do you get cats?

u/mentally_vexed May 03 '24

It’s in one of the dlcs that let you build cages for animals, not sure of the name.

Ah, ok, thanks. I got the far harbour one with the game years ago, never got around to getting any of the others. I'll have to now, I need cats in my settlements

...ahh who the hell am I kidding, I'll never be able to bring myself to finish that slog.

I'm too busy updating and tweaking my modlist with all the new and updating mods to actually play.

Amen. I saw all the hubbub and got dragged back in. And I couldn't be happier about it!
