Yeah. I took that ammo scrounging perk several times. I needed it because I was running out of bullets for my .50 cal. Now I have several thousand of everything around 800 bullets for my .50 and about 15.000 bullets for the minigun.
The seriously was in reference to not wanting to use the AR because it was ugly, not to your metric f&&$ton of bullets :3

I am SO wanting a preview of some Fallout 4 DLC! This game is amazing.
As a side note, a buddy of mine, who I believed would HATE the community-building system, went all out and made Sanctuary Hills a military compound and created what he calls the Tower of Death, a massive, fortified tower bristling with mortars, sniper perches (The guard post things), and other stuff, not to mention turrets around nearly every corner. It has 207 defense rating! A group of deathclaws get wrecked in mere seconds after walking into his compound!
I, oddly enough, have done community building, but mostly focus on exploring and leveling my character. It's nice being able to fire 2 mini nukes at my feet to kill a mirelurk queen and still have about 20% of my health bar left! :)

I actually really like the melee weapon designs so far. especially the Super Sledge. Before it looked like a fire hydrant, but bulkier. Now it's a sledgehammer WITH A ROCKET BOOSTER ATTACHED TO IT!
I also kind of wish there was a unique walking cane, that turned out to be a cane sword. An electric cane sword.

--Very mild non-main-plot spoilers ahead--
So I'm doing the Cabot House Quest line. Get sent after what's-her-face the daughter. End up talking to the super-smug Pillars Of The Community missionaries.
I'm have the conversation with Cabot Daughter in the back room and start walking out trying to decide if I'm going to kill all the weird-ass cultists just for being creepy and weird, when a Brotherhood Vertibird comes crashing down out of the sky directly into the middle of the congregation. Kills them all except the cult leader dude, who is just sitting there on the stage in his easy chair, staring at the burning wreckage and all his dead followers.
I decided to just leave him there like that.

I found those guys once. They ask you to "shed yourself of all your worldly possessions". For shiggles, I agreed (after saving).
They literally just take all your s!+@ ("Oh...you uh, you really did that. Okay.") and basically just tell you "Tough noogies, moron" if you try to get it back. I had a good laugh.

Yeah, I'd run into them earlier too before being sent there for the Cabot quest. They seemed shady. I decided to look them up rather than save/reload.
I was very happy when the vertibird landed on them.

The conversation with their leader when you refuse to give him your stuff goes:
"Hi there."
"want to join our obvious cult/ or scam?"
"Sure!"
"Alright, give me all of your things."
"No."
"That's not how this works."
"What?"
"You have to give me all of your things because I said so." [dies immediately because he's wearing a suit and sitting down.]
"welp"

I did that too. Of course I was high enough level that even with a low strength build I just beat him to death with my bare hands and took my stuff back.

The trouble I've had with trying to dress settlers by job is a) getting all the right clothes to the right place and b) the fact that some of them self-assign to farming when they arrive and I can't always tell who is new. I guess putting sunglasses on everyone and then someone who shows up who isn't wearing sunglasses would be new... but then what if they just so happen to show up in sunglasses?

Oh man... I must be too low-level for the area I'm currently in.
I went to the Finch Farm because Preston told me they needed help, and now I've had a Mr. Gutsy spawn in one area nearby, and a Deathclaw near the other farm I fast traveled to to head over to the Finch farm.
Then, The Forged are just kicking my ass. As well as Strong's. And I got caught between the Forged and the Gunners. Not pretty.
Old FO3 and New Vegas strategies don't seem to work any more. I've got a whole new learning curve with this game!
Death. Death never changes...

The Asbestos armor mod, highly recommended for dealing with those jerks.
Also sniper rifles and giving your companion a big stack of frag grenades to cover you with.

Thanks. I've got a sniping laser rifle, but once I take a shot they're all over me in no time.
And, like I said, I got caught between a Mr Gutsy on one side, a Deathclaw on the other, and Gunners on yet another. Looks like I'll need to go back a few saves and enter this area again. Maybe after I've leveled up a few more levels!

I was a decent level when I dealt with that place, but it was challenging. I think somehow luckily I had found a suit of power armor on my way there (I think perhaps in the crashed military convoy the Gutsy was guarding), so that helped me tremendously dealing with the Forged. I don't wear power armor a lot but that was one area I'm glad I had it.
I encountered Gunners nearby the Forged as well so they must be programmed to be there.
