Heh. I like that Mass Fusion actually gives you an alert that doing it will make an enemy of the BoS.. but then in the BoS quest chain you get absolutely no warning until you pick up a quest that doing so turns the Railroad against you.

Well this ones going to be an odd Christmas. My sister isn't encouraging of Christmas decorations and such, and my father tends to be down on it. Previously, all the Christmas oomph has been my mother and myself. So with her passing, things are just being a little odd. So it's most likely going to be fairly quiet. A brief family gathering, a shared meal, and that'll be that.

Hell, you don't need to spill your guts. Apparently even though they just arrived and the BoS go everywhere in uniform with righteous attitudes, they have an amazingly effective spy network in the Commonwealth and know everything you do regardless of any surviving witnesses that push the plot line forward. Even though I used the Railroad to build a certain device and get into the Institute sneakily, the BoS knew all about it and that I'd come back. It's that kind of thing that nags at my mind.

Well the petition to ban Trump from the UK has become the most popular with nearly 500,000 people having signed it.. Technically it just needed 100,000 to be considered for Parliamentary debate.. UK Petition to ban Donald Trump breaks record

The very few settlements that actually have pools of water? You can stick one Water purifier thingamajig there rather then half a dozen water pumps. They just need power to function. Oh, and if you stick any forms of lights inside the buildings, along with ceiling fans and terminals... You need to hook power up to the building. Kind of annoying, I now have two quests that are clashing but they aren't meant to clash. Or rather, I have one Institute quest that will make the BoS my enemies, but I have the option of telling the BoS about it by talking to Ingram. But I have a BoS quest that finishes by having me talk to Ingram. Unfortunately, it won't let me do that because it will only do the Institute quest option instead of ending the BoS quest. So I can't carry on with the BoS quest line at present.

For the lawyers in the audience... Huffington Post - For the First Time Ever, a Prosecutor will go to jail for wrongfully convicting an innocent man.,

Hm, I don't really see happiness drop that much. It keeps hovering between 65-83. Of course, when I have to "build" a settlement, I slap down the beds and then throw up a few paintings, chairs, and a couple of flags on the exterior of the building. From what I gather as long as you put a few of those "luxuries" up, that keeps them all satisfied. Edit: I have to admit, having the combo perks of Rifleman, Stealth, Ninja and Mr Sandman maxed, while using a Legendary "Mighty" Gauss Rifle with Silencer... Really lets you one shot kill pretty much everything you encounter with a stealth headshot..

Aging. It happens. Maturity, maybe not so much.

It might be amusing..but damn, this should be done regardless..

Strong tended to like whenever I was helping settlements on Minutemen missions. McCready has his own quest chain, or well, a couple of linked quests that crop up as your relationship keeps going buddy-buddy. Piper's quest is that thing when you first meet her, so it feels odd to count it as a companion quest.

Just in case people had missed this.. : Netflix have done a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that's to be released in the new year.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdhvxJZDqzU&

Yes. and when you get told that the same settlement is being threatened by raiders at a location you've already cleared 7 or 8 times (about half of them for the same damn settlement).

Yes, it gets a bit annoying that a settlement with a Defense score of 140+ and a population of 14-20 keeps having to call you and only you to defend them. Because if you aren't there they'll lose. And then you have to go around repairing everything. However, as long as you just happen to be at the location, without taking a single shot at the enemy yourself, the defences will slaughter whoever is attacking.

Minutemen - We be good folks who help other folks, so they in turn help folks around them. Railroad - We are super-secret types railing against bigotry and synth-slavery. Brotherhood of Steel - We are jerky tech power-mongers with righteousness on our side. Institute - We are brainiac science types who know best. I think that covers the basics?

It's interesting how in some ways they've introduced a slightly comic element to it compared to the film. Of course the original book had a complete downer of an ending. Actually, the trick that I quite like is how they have one shade for when he's not on the drug, but that slightly brighter, golden hue to things when he's on the drug.
