OK, finally got this game and have played a fair amount (lv 37). I’ve touched very little of the main story (recently saved Nick from the mobsters), but have joined the Brotherhood and the Railroad. The best gun I’ve found so far is Overseer’s Guardian, which does such silly damage once modded with the high damage receiver you get at Gun Nut 3 I probably should up the difficulty. If I put more points in the stats affecting Spray N’ Pray, I bet that would do silly damage as well. I end up selling most of my drugs because I always forget to use them, and I seem to make a lot of money by having sanctuary crank out water with industrial water purifiers. I’ve also found an easy way to quickly get companions up to idolized by abusing the quicksave/reload feature.

Some questions:
-Does chameleon armor stack, and does it become quite as broken as in Oblivion? I’ve only found one piece so far.
-What’s the best non-randomized unique gun and the best randomized gun? What are some really fun weapons to use? (It looks like there’s a two shot fatman and an experimental mirv mod.)
-What’s a good way to get Curie to idolized without doing quests?
-So far, the melee weapons are disappointing compared to the past FO games (haven’t found a ripper or shishkebab, found a super sledge but not a unique one), do they get better?
-What’s the best way to build walls around settlements if they’re on hills? Don’t you dare tell me to use less space, I want all the game can give me dammit!
-I loved the quest involving Covenant, but the town itself is annoyingly glitchy, any good way around this? The turrets aren’t adding defense, I can’t move or scrap them, some of the equipment is marked as owned, and I’d like to figure out how to take the doors off the houses and then put them back on. I have a key for them, but I’m afraid that the settlers will be screwed with the doors. I’m also a console peasant...

Loving the game so far!
