I have put dozens of hours in so far on PS4, and I haven't noticed any lingering deterioration of performance. The only hiccups I have dealt with is whenever I get into a Vertibird.

Really? I didn't realize that. I was already looking to rank up my Armorer perk, but this gives me a lot more incentive to do so. It will require less points than getting my Strength to 6 and getting the Strong Back perk.

Thanks!

I have always gone with Perks, but lately I've been thinking of dropping a few points in Strength so I can get the Strong Back perk. Every scavenging run results in having to drop items, even when I'm wearing Power Armor to increase my weight and having my companion hold as much as possible.

So far, it has to be Nick Valentine. I just love his 40s film noir caricature and his look. I've always loved the look of humanoid A.I. with some robotic insides showing.

I've come across 4 suits and a power armor frame in my travels. I've stored them in Sanctuary and am currently rocking the T-60 with about 16 Fusion Cores in stock (you find a shit ton of them in the early Brotherhood of Steel missions).

I've gotten far enough into the story to where I have most of the map available directly or close by fast travel spots. I've also built up enough caps through the ammo/caps glitch to where I can easily any ammo I might need on side scavenging runs.

I also probably spent most of my time on the settlement building, which I correctly predicted right after E3.

Infinite building resources...

Probably my favorite part of the settlement building. Now, I am building 4 story tall floating bridges between my towers.

Now if only I can find a place with a lot of steel...

Like @chaser324 has said, Power Armor in Fallout 4 now requires Fusion Cores for power. When the current fusion core inside the Power Armor runs out of battery and you have no extras, you are put in a state similar to over-encumbrance: you move slowly and can't run. If you have extra FCs in your inventory, your Power Armor will automatically take one and recharge, so you don't have to get out of the suit just to put in another FC.

Our favorite forum anthology series is back! Fallout 3 started it all, and now Fallout 4 is here for a revival.

The game is simple: just write about any silly life lessons you have learned while playing Fallout 4. I will periodically add them to a mega list at the bottom of this post.

So give us your advice, Giant Bomb Wastelanders!
