It's very frustrating because I don't really agree with the RR but I hardly want to murder them all. In fact, I think Father has the better point regarding keeping the more advanced synths on a short leash and conclusively proved it by sending you on the quest to take down the synth-turned-raider. I mean, I disagree with Father that synths deserve no status beyond being objects. But the RR seems to operate on the basis of emotion and ignorance. Tinker Tom is a good example of this, with all his conspiracy theories. It would have been a stronger story if (a) the RR had more insight into synths and/or (b) if you could negotiate some kind of understanding between the RR and the Institute.
Actually, that is what really frustrated me the most about FO4: the main quest forces you to make extreme decisions but does not really justify them except on the grounds that the various factions are so absolutist and rigid that they cannot even imagine each other's viewpoints. And that in turn really drains my sympathy for any of them. I wouldn't mind having to make such hard and stomarch-turning choices if the story lent stronger support to this notion. As things stand, it's hard to understand why the factions cannot resolve some of their differences without resorting to ultraviolence. I guess war never changes. It's a heavy-handed way to evoke the IP tagline, however. My first playthrough really left a bad taste.
Yeah i really hate this aspect.
I cant play my most neutral character that just wants everyone to get along.
on a side note I kinda wonder why you can take power armor off dead BoS besides the parts. the frame should be removable and all :/

To all modders: I look forward to the "Mama Murphey Starter Kit" that puts a pack of drugs in Sanctuary that are needed to kill her. Please make it happen.

Except it works the other way. There's a reason it's called 'nuclear' winter.
I looked outside at the wonderous landscape of northern Michigan today, on December's eve, and all was brown (except my lawn, which is still green because I'm awesome), with a light smattering of rain. Only a few years ago we would be clearing our driveways at this point, yet my snowthrower remains unused this season. Maybe by the late 2200's the weather pattern may have shifted?
I wouldn't let it bother you, just enjoy the game!

We've already had snow much further south than you. Thank YOU Lakes.
And (and this is somewhat paradoxical) a warmer Boston means run away snow fall further inland due to how the water cycle and the North Atlantic current work. Since neither the Capital Wasteland nor The Pitt have frozen over in a new little Ice Age.....
So...people are now saying that Fallout and Skyrim are in the same universe, as Fallout 4 has a nirnroot Easter egg.
Instead of it just being a case of both games being made by the same company.
Heresy intensifying.

Simple reason: out of all the tools and junk items I've found, I have yet to find a can opener or a crowbar.

I have. Don't forget this is set in a future based off 1950's Americana, so they're not called 'Can Openers' any more, they're called "Ripper"s!. Either that or they got the Mr Handy's to saw the top off the cans.
And don't forget, even now, we have ring-pull cans for some things, or key cans for some fish.
I just don't believe that Nuka-Cola had produced enough that any are still available 210 years later!

Just got my first suit of X-01 armor last night, MK3 at that. I'm in the mid-30's already, and I'm dealing with deathclaws pretty easily without the armor, so it's kind of pointless, but was still neat.
I'm thinking I should just finish the story up on this character, and start a new guy to work on all of the side stuff with.

here's what I do, and the only time I use power armor:
I save up around 2k+ of 5mm ammo, then I put on power armor, and my "tactical minigun" and just walk around an area going Space Marine on people's arses
Unlike some people though, I only have 17 "batteries" for the suits, and I usually run low on 5mm pretty quickly so I quick travel back to drop of the armor
I've started to encounter those really nasty sentry bots, and they tend to drop 3-4 cores when you kill them. It's built my stockpile up pretty quickly.
I'm at 50+ fusion cores now, so I like to bust out the gatling laser sometimes. I gave it the charging barrels mod that makes it do more damage but shoot slower.
And then I used the console to give it the legendary upgrade that makes it shoot faster for funsies. Even then, it's still not quite as good as my rifle (as I have the rifle perks), but it's still fun to stomp around spitting laser death everywhere.

My biggest issue with the shotgun is ammunition. I tear through it so damn fast.
even spamming the heck out of VATS with my shotty, I go through it's ammo way too fast.... Luckily enough, I have a lot of .308 and 5.56mm, which means I use my hunting/sniper rifle and assault rifle far more often and engage beyond the range of even VATS

I found an explosive sniper rifle, and have upgraded it to a .50 cal. It's just redonkulous now. It works really well with that perk that makes guys explode.
Well this was en-lightening--spoilered for minor sweary words:

Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I'm level 49 now and I just have my 2-shot 50 cal sniper rifle that I modded to the max. It's a 1 shot kill for pretty much anything.. maybe 2 for a really tough enemy. I also have Piper following me around in Grognak's costume and a super sledge. Give her a melee weapon and she goes from cracking jokes to taunting and kicking arse. I love when she flips someone upside down then smushes their head with her hammer.
Right now I think I'm near the end of the institute quests where I have to kill the railroad lady.. so I'm doing the RR quests instead, but I think I'm gonna stick with the institute at the end. Right now I'm mostly just exploring and adding new settlements. I think I light the lighthouse in the top right of the map the best so far.
Jeesh, cannot stand the Railroad. What a bunch of idiots. Not only is their entire premise stupid as hell (freedom for...robots. Really?), their entire idea to do it is killing a few people to let a few escape. Gosh. Eradicating them was awe-some.
