    I’m over 6500 hours.

    I play the game like Sims with shooting. I’m most interested in settlement building. I might put 100, 200 hours in a play through and never touch the main quest line, and never go get Preston and them.

    Nuka World is Open Season the instant Gage opens the door.

    Far Harbor, I’ll collect poor, confused Masumi and grab the settlements. I run the main quest, and the Dima memory game is fine with me, because I just use Place Everywhere to aim the green beam at the targets, which completely bypasses the final puzzle.

    I used to run with Cait almost exclusively, but these days, I’ve been running with Piper, Nat, and Dogmeat. I wish vanilla had multiple companions, I’d love to hear Piper, Cait, and Currie fight over me.

  • Settlement building would be more fun if the fucking NPCs didn’t just teleport past all your defenses because the paths YOU can fit through still ain’t big enough for their seemingly fat asses so they don’t go through your booby trapped chokepoints, can never find your fucking merchants, and brahmin litter your fucking roofs. 😬

    The VaultTec pack is so depressingly disappointing because the BUILDING shit is great. I love the pieces and everything you can do with them. I hate that NPCs constsntly end up OUTSIDE the fucking confines of the vault even in the fucking underground space meant for it, let alone if you build one outside in the world proper.

    I don’t know what you are doing for 10,000 hours if you aren’t building settlements but I get it. Settlement building sucks and I always skip the minute men completely (except for swooping in and swiping the power armor). Then I don’t have to be bothered by them or the stupid settlements.

      Most of my fallout experiences was just dipping in and out of dungeons. I find a door, I take it. But I’m pretty sure I’m a small percentage of people who play specifically like that.

      FO76 on launch was purely that and bombed until they added NPCs, factions, quest lines and more settlement-lik features.

      I’m at 5,557 hrs. I end up building settlements where I have to clean up (scrap everything) all the rubble and dirt and grass mounds. I’ve scrapped thousands of rubbish mounds. I can’t help myself. All I want to do is clean the roads and other surfaces.

      Whilst building a a myriad of wooden paths, (coz how on earth do the settlers keep their boots clean and avoid walking through mud???). Also lots of fencing to avoid people falling off (because OH&S is super important).

      I do operate SS2 but I tend to make most of my settlements myself.

      I’ve only ever finished the game once despite playing it since day 1.

      Lots of concrete walls. And building steel supports for overhanging buildings.

    The best part of Bethesda games is the gameplay. The worst is the rest of the game.

      I mostly just hate it. Barely did it at all. Have done a ton more of it in FO76, but that’s largely just because they added Dinky the T Rex and I just built around that.
