@Gingerslayer3 Yankees fan?

No, not that kind of luck. It's just random.

Yeah, not all the parts. Sometimes if you're unlucky the only part it'll have will be the torso.

Item duplication glitching the You're SPECIAL book while it's sill unread in order to get enough boosts to max out your special stats before even reaching level 2, then overcharge your stats by using consumables that temporarily lower them. This should become the cornerstone of your no mods character build.

There's also the increased build limit exploit, but I don't recommend it because it can make your game unstable if you abuse it. I personally only use it in small increments and in selective cases.

Greetings fellow (checks notes) American. Hey, I seem to have forgotten the coordinates of all of your- I mean our ordinance stockpiles and the locations of all of your- I mean our weapon manufactories. Perhaps you can remind me, you know, so that I can keep them safe from the Brotherhood of Steel and totally not call in a missile strike that'll severely cripple your- I mean our means of waging war, because that would be a real bummer if I did. Ignore the sword emblem on my power armor, I'm totally on your- I mean our side side. Ad Vic- I mean dog bless (checks notes) America, or yeah.

Page and Sage. Spot the differences.

Those are the cold and soulless eyes of a man who has mastered calculus.

I forgot that part. I only played through the Institute ending once just to get the achievements and essentially blocked it all out. The eyes loathe, the hands do.

@Enclave51 Brotherhood airships are heavily armored specifically because they are filled with hydrogen, and though it's extrapolation of me to say so it wouldn't be outside of the realm of possibility that the Prydwen's armor is even heavier than the previous class of airships because the Brotherhood would have learned the hard way after losing the old fleet and adapted accordingly when designing the new class. You would need some serious firepower in order to punch a hole in the Prydwen's plating, not necessarily high yield but something capable of lobbing a projectile with enough velocity that it reaches the critical level where nothing could feasibly stop its energy, then once it punches through the steel plating it's debatable if the same shot could ignite the hydrogen, though it's theoretically possible if a spark was generated in the vary instant that the metal on metal collision occurred. This is the reason why I discount the Minutemen route as utter fantasy, I don't believe for a second that it should be mathematically possible for those ramshackle cast iron cannons to generate enough force to lob a ball through two-three feet of solid steel from that distance. I can't prove it on paper but I know it in my bones. Something along the lines of a gauss weapon may do the trick if it were scaled up to be capable of dispensing more energy, and the projectile would have a spark so it would ignite the hydrogen. Barring that, it seems that the most viable way the Prydwen gets brought down is from within unless somebody comes up with something clever, in which case it doesn't matter if it used hydrogen or helium, a few high explosive charges planted on the ship's critical systems will do the job just the same, and that's precisely how it happens in the other routes.

But what do I know, I'm just some dude.

@Kenji6988 You're a synth.

I used to head straight to the dead caravan outside of Covenant to get a guaranteed combat rifle as soon as I started the game. It was enough to put me considerably ahead of the tech curve compared to early game enemies, and I didn't even have to fight for it.

Jet pack goes up. Jet pack is doing its job. All is well.

Unfortunately all of my family gatherings are like the funeral scene from the Godfather; whoever approaches you first, that's the traitor.

Well it's factually correct, isn't it?

I get it, it's just that the incidental placement of the icons is the most amusing thing about this map to me. These are places that I know, where I'm from, and visualizing them in this context is kinda hilarious. On another note, I love how you completely avoided Florida and just wrote it off as a dead zone. Chef's kiss. 10/10
