Building settlements instead of completing the Main Quest in Fallout 4

#fallout #fallout4

What you're telling me Settlement Building simulator has a story? What I have a son?! I'm sure he'll be fine, I'm gonna go back to making sanctuary a place I don't mind spending time in

I can only imagine Preston's face after waiting in-game months for me to help Oberland Station just to see me build a literal skyscraper with 9 sets of power armor in the front lawn.

Nick: Shouldn’t we be out looking for your son?

Sole Survivor: [rearranging chairs overlooking a fighting pit] My what?

Even though settlement building in F04 was janky as hell, it was always a moment of pure solace and satisfaction when every piece finally just, clicked together

[genkoti]

Player: "I'm gonna farm some exp."
Preston: "By completing quests, right?"
Player: [ Opens settlement menu. ]

I once Played Fallout 4 like this: Start main story, stop before tracking down Kellogg, complete all sidequests, find every settlement, Complete the Vault DLC, Complete Nuka World, connect every settlement via provisioners, fit the provisioners with decent weapons and armor so that they act like real patroling Minutemen, build up every single settlement until they have max happiness and max population, complete Far Harbor, and then FINALLY continue the main story. At this point I've essentially rebuilt the Commonwealth and have a pseudo police force (decked out provisioners patrolling the wasteland for any threats). Whenever I completed the battle of Bunker Hill and heard Shawn say "The Commonwealth is dead, there is no future here." I created a save and killed his ass.

My dad dressed everyone in every settlement with tuxedos and fancy dresses when he got off work, took him like two years. He's a slow paced gamer. Everyone else was on DS3 already by then.

When you're on your 10th uncompleted run you gotta find ways to spice things up.

Yeah, this is me in a nutshell, combined with finishing every side quest I can and looting as much as I can. I plan to turn Starlight Drive-In into a resort hotel.

Building impenetrable fortresses is honestly my favorite part of that game. Especially with mods so that you don't have to worry about building limits. Also concrete is such an underrated addition to the game. I have literally created so many straight up citadels.

[tsarfox]

The best part is the SRB is seeing all of this since the birds are synths with built in cameras.

"Why are you naked in my settlement?"

"Why aren't you?"

"You're alright Griffin."

preston: “do you think it’s time to retake the castle?”

me, walking past him fully decked out in customized gear so i can build sheffield a house:

The rhythmic banging of hammers on walls at the end…very immersive

[danterodriguez]

Ok, but we have to appreciate how well made this is, he literally dances, walked and rearranges furniture in the correct angle and with the window in front of him, on the way

[Riley_Mundt]

I still remember the early days after the release where everyone was trying to build the Great Wall of Sanctuary using the concrete foundation blocks.

[Poopustheclown]

Perfect timing as I finished my ammunition plant at Echo Lake Lumber last night

[pappy]

This was honestly me for a good while after launch. Seeking out new settlements to consume and integrate into my new Minute Men empire. Preston (and some convenient settlement attackers) can be very persuasive.

“downloading FO4 only to download gun mods, max them out, and then not pick up FO4 up for 6 months”

[CirnoBush]

this is me, 80% of my mods are for settlement building even play with sim settlements. i've also installed real time settler in fallout 3/nv. i might have a problem.

[ZeroTheHunter]

Have 2 days and 3 hours of playtrough and i have half map completely explored, sanctuary hills fully build into a fortress and just visited diamond city to deliver a deathclaw _egg_ . If it wasn't for the intro scene of the city i would have forgot that i used to have a son lmao.
