I'm having a pretty good time with my Fallout 4 replay. I've done one story mission and spent the rest of the time building and protecting settlements and wandering the wasteland. I even found a full suit of X-01 power armor this time around. :cheers:

I spent about 2 months doing this on Survival mode and it was really fun.

I'm a Canadian who never liked hockey, fight me (not on ice because that's dumb).

I think I associate 88 with him because that was the year he got traded and all my teachers were constantly moaning about it for months (years, but at lower intensity) afterward, and we'd had the winter Olympics in my city earlier that year, and a bunch of other significant life events happened to third grader me, so my brain had a weird miswire at some point and it's stuck ever since. This is like the second time in two weeks that I've made the Gretzky = 88 mistake, no joke.

In fairness, Gretzky is a rightwing douchebag so you're not too far off

So I played for about 90 mins last night. As soon as I left the vault some dude was waiting for me and proceeded to follow me around for 45 mins explaining all the introductory quests, taking my picture as I reached each milestone and saying patronizing things like "look at you!" and "aww they grow up so fast!"

All in all a pretty accurate video game depiction of what waking up in a post apocalyptic wasteland and meeting a lonely stranger would be like.

Yeah he gave some ammo and purified water and a sweet Ritual Mask that makes me look like a True Detective villain. I was on the fence about doing a melee build but Ritual Mask + Baseball Bat is legit creepy and I'm gonna roll with it.

And if you don't like the food spoiling, take the dog food perk. My wife's character eats just the pre-war food and that, and I found the other day she was walking around with like 30 pounds of the stuff. She was picking it up faster than she used it.

I played a ton of Survivor FO4 and I find I'm not hurting for food, water or ammo. Also melee build seems pretty broken but fun as heck.

A quick Fallout 76 question: Where do I get building plans that aren't 'wooden shack' themed? Like metal walls or plastic or something more pleasing. Is that something I can find in game from a vendor, something I'll unlock eventually doing quests or something I have to buy from the Atom Shop?

Usually from the robot vendors, always with caps. But I would visit other people's camps and see if they are selling them instead. I sell all my plans for 25% of what they suggest because I'm trying to get rid of them.

Support your private server overlords by following these rules of etiquette when you visit their domains:

1. A portion no less than 10% of all resources farmed on a private server should be given to the private server owner (hereafter referred to as the landlord). More gracious landlords can choose to waive this tax, or adjust the amount upwards as they see fit, as they are paying for the server.

2. Any rare items spawned in the private server belong to the landlord. This includes rare weapons (ex. Colored Baseball Bats), rare plans (ex. Plasma Grenade Plan), and rare outfits (ex. Colored Asylum Uniforms). If you find one, it is your duty to report it to the landlord. It is up to the landlord to decide the price at which they are willing to part with it, if any. Failure to do so will make the transgressor guilty of poaching.

3. One-shot weapons are allowed only at the landlord’s discretion, and at no time is robbing the landlord of a legendary farm opportunity allowed, unless the landlord permits it. If a legendary is slain and the landlord is not afforded the opportunity to loot it, then the one who slew the legendary must offer the loot he gathered from it.

4. Nuclear Silos are off limits, unless the landlord permits access to them. The whole of the server belongs to the landlord, so only they can decide which part gets nuked. If a nuke is permitted, the landlord has final say on where the nuke shall fall.

5. Active events are not to be started until the landlord decrees.

6. Landlords may levee a tax upon all trades and sales completed within their domain. The amount is completely up to the discretion of the landlord.

7. If a landlord requests a common item (scrap, stimpaks, purified water, etc...) it is the duty of those guests to provide it to the best of their ability. If the gathered amount is short, then it is the duty of the guests to farm the required amount.

8. If at any time the landlord’s camp is attacked, whether by A.I. enemies, or rival players, it is the duty of the guests to defend the landlord’s property and the landlord.

9. The landlord can declare whether their domain is PVP enabled or not. If the landlord declares PVP enabled, then all guests must turn Pacifist Mode to Off. If the landlord declares PVP to be disabled, then Pacifist Mode must be set to On.

10. Any part of this codified rules of etiquette can be omitted or altered by the landlord as it pertains to their private server. After all, they are the sovereign ruler of their domain

Vivat Aristocraticum!

Rule #11: NO GIRLS!!!
