I don't know the truth or falsehood of there being a synth companion, but that read to me as potentially a nod to cultures and scifi tropes rather than confirmation that such a character exists.I was thinking Blade Runner, personally. It's what I immediately go to when I hear "Synth"!
LOL@Scythia!
If Piper was a Synth it would be hilarious.
My weapon of choice is a pipe sniper rifle with nightvision scope. Only decent weapon I have found without ammo issues.

.308 ammo isn't that hard to find.

Spoilers. Now I know there is a female synth companion :(

Mercy is my custom 10mm that does 43 damage.
~laughter~ I like that!

When I was using a .308 weapon as my primary, I blew through it like candy and then was disappointed when Halloween was over. My stockpile of .308 is just starting to recover back up to 200+, which I can burn through in 1 super mutant dungeon, as I proved with my 10mm (I have a bonus damage vs super mutants pistol). My .38 ammo on the other hand only goes up, despite me using it most of the time. I'm sitting on over 1200 rounds at this point.

I just finished fighting three legendary ghoul reavers. One dropped a metal arm guard. Another dropped a freezing combat shotgun. But the third dropped a ghoul slaying sniper laser rifle.
Oh. I am not a pack-rat. I just need to break everything down to use for later.

Really? I have like 67 .308 ammo, since it only takes like twoshots to kill a Super Mutant Skirmisher. I spent all of 6 killing a Legendary Brute, and that was because he Mutated after the first two and got all his HP back.
Of course, my Sniper Rifle does 76 damage a shot.
~LAUGHTER~ So very true!!!
I haven't gotten into decorating yet. Too busy building towers covered in beds.

Because my pipe rifle does what I need it to do, I haven't upgraded a .308 gun yet, so what I'm finding are mostly 40 dmg guns that just aren't enough of an upgrade from my .38. I was mostly <lvl 10 when I ran out of .308, though the 10mm was more recent. .308 guns also tend to be much slower fire rate, so they don't work as well vs ferals and other fast moving things.
Yar.
My current loadout:
Left quickslots (Melee):
-Spiked Knuckles
-Cavalier's Chinese Sword (15% more damage reduction when blocking)
Top Quickslots (Two-Handed Guns):
-The Terrible Shotgun (Hardened Long Barrel Marksman's Tactical Quick Eject Medium Mag Combat Shotgun)
-Marksman's Sniper Rifle
-Hardened Armor Piercing Submachine Gun
Right Quickslots (1 handed guns):
-Powerful Tactical Quick Eject 10 MM Pistol
-.44 Revolver (all the cool s++* requires Rank 3 Gun Nut =()
-Nothing
Bottom Quickslots (Consumables)
-Stimpaks
-Frag Grenades
-Molotov Cocktails
Gives some options for pretty much every situation TTS is my go-to, with the Sniper for longrange and the Pistol for finishing off weak enemies and checking for Ghouls who play dead.
SMG for hordes of enemies. So far, only used once. Revolver is a new addition, I only have like 8 rounds for it.
Knuckles are because I mistakenly invested a perk into make unarmed weapons better when I have found zero good unarmed weapons, and I take out my frustration by beating Raiders to death with them.
Sword is just so I don't forget it exists, Cait is going to be using it when I can upgrade it.
Hmmm...

If you plan on doing any Crafting, a strength of 3 or 4 is advisable. 3 nets you Armorer and 4 nets you Blacksmith. Perception of 4 nets you Locksmith.Charisma of 6 nets you Local Leader, if you plan on doing any settlement building. Intelligence of 6 nets you Science as well as Gun Nut, Hacker, and Scrapper. Those are the "essential" perks IMHO. Crafting can be valuable.

Killed two Deathclaws earlier.
They seem to shrugg off Shotguns, but my Heavy Combat Rifle worked well with a bit of kiting.
Seeing Cait repeatedly try to hit it with a Sledgehammer, and then repeatedly get ragdoll'd away with a single backhand mid-swipe every time provided extra amusement.
Like an Oblivion remake?
Someone said that this is the DC version of Piper. I agree.
Here's the "super" interesting thing on that comparison: the voice actress who plays Piper is the wife of Brandon Routh, who played Superman in "Superman Returns" (horrible movie IMHO though I thought he was a good pick for the character). So the "Lois Lane" character is Superman's wife....
I think it's coincidence (I certainly hope she was chosen for her acting ability and I enjoy her performance) but I found that amusing.
On the subject of voice acting... different people have opinions on both the voicing of various characters (especially the main char) and the lip sync with the animation.... but I do like that they've worked to give the character models far more obvious emotes. I remember trying to get screencaps of characters in Skyrim and FNV with different looks on their face (for the purposes of a roleplaying journal which is embarrassingly a thing I used to do) and apart from some vaguely different combat faces, I realized they never really had changes in expression. It's nice to see the characters really smile, scowl, frown, etc. Some of it is even possibly overanimated, but given the nature of animation I prefer that to underdone.
OT: on Elder Scrolls, modders are working on a "Skyblivion" which runs Oblivion in the Skyrim engine (you have to own both to play)... certainly what they've come up with looks great. If they finish it should be interesting. As for ES6, yes, I believe they are working on that.

This is very close to what I started with, except I swapped Endurance and Luck. I would take a look at the perk chart and decide what the highest thing you want is. I wish I had done it before my game, but if I were to go back it would be:
Str 3: Armorer
Per 4: Lockpicking
End 1: Nothing
Cha 6: Local Leader
Int 8: Robotics Expert
Agi 3: Sneak
Luck 3: Bloody Mess
There are 4 points left over. 2 into Agility if I plan on using VATS, 2 into Endurance just for HP, or perhaps some in str if I want to make melee mods.
Doomkitten, echoing the others in that if you want to craft, you want a higher Strength -- also because you want a decent carrying capacity.
If you don't care about crafting or settlements, you're probably fine. Check the perk chart and think about what you want too. If you find certain items in game you can also raise your attributes higher.
End 1: NothingI've personally been getting a LOT of mileage out of Aquaboy/girl from END 5 :3
I'm curious where. The only places I've really swam any were across the rivers, and I have just popped a radx beforehand. I'm sitting on a couple dozen.

weighs too much for me to carry it around all the time :)
It's only like 3 pounds.
I have 6 Str as well.

Where can I get one?
Having said that, my Leaded T-60D Power Armor was useful during my trek through the Glowing Sea.
I got three of them during the "Diamond City Blues" quest.
I wore my Power Armor into the Glowing Sea for the sole purpose of carrying back like 200 lbs of lead weights from the army cache.

Have you been to the Mr Handy showroom? All the lead you could ever need in the boxing ring.
Never been, no. I'm sure I'll find it eventually.
My current mission is to track down all these "Eddie Winter" holotapes. They seem interesting.
Edit - Fixed the link.
That's the same link you posted earlier, the DC Nation/Lois Lane thing.

Yeesh!!! Cait is one hard girl to impress.
My latest accomplishment is slaughtering my way through Quincy. It took me the better part of two hours to do it, but I killed all those damn Gunners, and pissed on Baker's corpse. I earned my 20th level, I think.
Whole lotta work when I just wanted a holotape that, so far, has no discernible purpose, and had to take a little Ghoul kid home.
Probably would have been better for them to just stay out of my way.
Yeesh!!! Cait is one hard girl to impress.
Try going around with no 'undergarment' under your armor. That apparently gets her motor running.

She likes it when I pick locks and shoot unarmed people in the back of the head and take their s+*$.

I took it more for the water breathing though the rad immunity is nice.
*shrugs*
I'm one of those who just has to explore everything so when I see water I just have to jump right in explore every nook and cranny lol guess it's just me though :3

Something that might help with this, don't know if it's a glitch or not, but for a safe with a terminal linked to it that can lock/unlock it you can pick the lock manually, reengage the lock, and repeat. Get EXP too so it should also keep granting approval.
Again, I don't know if they're all like this or if the one I tested it on was just bugged. It was in the police station next to Bunker Hill that has a Fat Man. Funny Raiders too.

Interesting thing, you can sort of bypass perk preqs for some armors. Combat Armor and Heavy Combat Armor mods are interchangeable, so even without Armorer 4 you can trick out Combat Armor, remove the mods, and apply it to the Heavy version.
