Am I supposed to be looting everything?

Yes. Outside of maybe focusing on higher-tier rarities like aluminum and adhesives there is no reason not to leave every dungeon with 210 weight and a weighted-down companion since you can just shove all the junk into a workbench.

Hell I did that in the other games even when there wasn't as much of a practical reason to.

I'm kinda pissed off that they wasted time and money adding in Shadow options for a game that doesn't have any shadows.

There are shadows on the PC version of the game. The consoles were (assumedly) unable to run them and they are removed from those versions.

Go to steam through a browser instead. It give you the countdown there too.

Just ran into something I can't seem to fix. I was messing around in the console commands and put str 10. It made my character invisible. I can't undo it. Even reloading doesn't work. Any idea how to fix?

It just says "Buy Fallout 4" so I guess I'm in the clear?

Awesome, thanks. I was going for a high Agi/Perception/luck build for stealth snipes like I normally do. There are so many ranks of skills looking in that calc you sent that it's interesting you can also use points on SPECIAL but I don't know if that's even worth it.

remember you also get a +1 bobblehead for each stat, plus a book that gives you a bonus point to a stat of your choice. just keep in mind some of the bobbleheads are found later in the game, so don't put off an essential perk in your build as one you can just get once you unlock it with a bobblehead.

I'm playing on Very Hard and it feels like every piece of armor is made of wet tissue paper and all of my guns shoot a mildly abrasive breeze in the approximate direction that I'm aiming.

Basically, it's Fallout. Yep. Love it.

For what it's worth I'm going to run:

Carry weight blows but gently caress it. I get all my sniper perks available immediately.

EDIT: The only thing I may want later is another point in INT for scrapper.

Did I misread all the signs?
Has a SPECIAL stat cap been confirmed yet? The 10 END perk would suggest there isn't a cap on the effects stats give since it would be almost totally worthless if it worked that way.

Figured out a fix in case it happens to anyone else. I turned the game off to desktop then reloaded it. I was concerned because reloading new saves and even creating a new game didn't take care of the issue. Buck backing out to the desktop and restarting did the trick.

You can go above 10 with equipment and chems. I'm not sure if Bobbleheads allow you to.

you should really try to squeeze in lifegiver and science! imo, at least with your +1. high tech mods for a sniper will be important, and lifegiver will help you out if you ever end up in close combat, since your endurance and hp are poo poo poo poo poo poo.
