I keep finding these pinkish books called overdue books and i'm just curious if i need them or if i should just get rid of them. Plz help

Does anyone know the details of this mechanic.

Do companions track your behaviour when they are back at home?

A robot butler seems to disprove of me slightly despite never being taken for a walk.

So I lost my legendary fully modified laser rifle with a 25% additional V.A.T.S. speed, simply gone out of inventory (PC version). I had no idea how that happened, maybe I dropped it somewhere unintentionally. It could not be scrapped as it is a legendary item. It wasn't even present at the secret dev. room containing all world items. I stopped playing for a few days to recover from the rage. When I started playing again, I scrap a few more weapons at the weapon work bench and discovered that my other favored weapon had disappeared as well! Even thou I had it a minute ago.

Scrapping function makes certain weapons to disappear. If you are at risk of having this bug, just avoid having your favored weapons in your inventory temporally before scrapping.

I'm curious if there's a way to save a complete armor set as a favorite and to equip it as a single unit.

Whenever I enter an area where I will be talking, I change into a charisma outfit. But when I leave for combat I have to put all my armor back on, one piece at a time. Between the armor, clothes, helmet, and glasses, that's 8 things to manually equip.

It would be nice to have my complete combat and charisma outfits saved for quick access.

Thanks

Just like Skyrim, and pretty sure FO3, the loading screens show you all kinds of things you have not encountered yet, thus being an auto-spoiler mechanism. I wish I found this mod before so much had been spoiled. This mod is a file and some instructions on modifying ini files. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/297/? Enjoy

There are machines later in the game that give you rare stuff for them

Could someone help me with which perk helps with shotgun damage....and word to the wise dont waste any points on the local leader perk i thought it would link all my junk from all over but all its does is let you assign people to link one settlement to another

I'm having a hard time telling if I only need to assign one settler to a crop and if they'll take care of all of them. Or if I have to assign a different settler for each crop.

So, I've been sneaky-sneaky, stabby-stabbing my way around Boston for a couple of days now...and I haven't come across any throat slicing, backstabbing or any of that good stuff we all remember from skyrim. So, have they done away with it? Because that would make me very sad.

Is it me or do the wild dogs and mirelurkers take ridiculous dmg? Anyone know if unlocking framerate can cause this?

On another note, how do you breakdown junk? Does it automatically count towards your material type I. E. Aluminum when you try to make mods, r do you actually have to break them down to source material first?

Can someone explain all the things I can link to a terminal? It says you can link turrets but I can't get it to link to my heavy turrets. The only thing I have linked before is spotlights.

Hey, guys :)

At this moment I'm on Level 47 and asking myself when it's "the right" moment to invest my skill points in Intelligence (mostly because of Scrapper and Science). Actual Main Story Quest: Molecular Level.

I like the benefits of Idiot Savant but I'm in a conflict, because higher Intelligence means a lower chance of activating Idiot Savant.

I startet with a "gun build", but at the higher levels I thought: Well, it could be nice to use other weapons, too (and mod them). In this moment I invest my skill points in Perception (because of Penetrator and Concentrated Fire).

Would you suggest to wait until the last (high exp) quests? Or how do you estimate the chance of activate Idiot Savant in this quests?

My current S.P.E.C.I.A.L. is something like this (not on console right now): 3 / 7 / 5 / 3 / 3 / 5 /10

I already maxed out: Blacksmith, Rifleman, Black Widow, Lone Wanderer, Gun Nut, Gunslinger, Action Girl A few perks like Locksmith or Aqua Girl are just missing one skill point. So you get an idea of how I play.

Thanks for your help :)

I don't know if anyone has touch on this yet. It is somewhat cheating, but think of it as making new samples for vault 81 and the Commonwealth. You need Dogmeat as your companion. Drop the cure on the floor, make sure it's in a visible place for your convenience. Go into sneak mode so you can see Dogmeat. Command Dogmeat to go about as far away as possible, but make sure it's walking distance and not running distance. Command him to take the cure. Grab the cure once he takes his last step, maybe 1-2 seconds after, but before his head reaches the cure. If done right you would have a second cure in your inventory. You can make how ever you want and sell it to merchants around the Commonwealth. It values at 200 caps per sell without perks.

So I am mainly focusing on the top left corner of the map cos I keep getting distracted when I am doing a quest, the furthest I get to is Diamond City (just got there).

So, now I have a few bases, my old home, which I personally think is a shitty base cos of bad locaton and hard to defend, so I didnt even finish the quest of building it.

So my question is:

1. do I have to build every base (cos every base have some people there)?

2. some bases only have some fruits and nothing else, can I just give them up and send everyone to another base?

3. in my mind your base needs to be easily defensible, so the only base I actually start building is the alley near Diamond City. But does that really matter? Or I should just build anywhere that has a large area?

4. can I use the bases as my home? Or I will get a real home later? I suppose bases will end up getting attack later? Cos you can build turrets.

5. If I start to move NPCs here (right now only companions I give up can be moved here) will they use the resource I put there?

6. will there be a way to share building materials later? Its annoying to carry ~100kg stuff at a time even with fast travel.

7. is that a good idea to put the power armor in the base? Or just hide it somewhere secret? (I didnt use it anymore after I know you need power core...)

Lastly, before I find this base I use the police station to store my stuff. But the Brotherhood of Steel guy wont shit the hell up about asking me to join them. Can you finish the quest without joining them? Or I just need to hear that bullshitt every time I go in there?

I already get forced into the stupid minutemen. I dont even want those weaklings in the wasteland.

Is there a way to scrap all or is it a one by one process?

Didn't see the duration details on the wiki.
