Building settlements instead of completing the Main Quest in Fallout 4

There is no "speedrun" in Fallout 4. That's just literally the most realistic playtrough: Find your son ASAP.
But if you not play speedrun, Shaun can live years. His cancer only kill him, if you stop building settlements.

One of the reasons why he might be dead is because your killer robots keep shooting guns at him

Never beat fo4 because of this

Everyone, maxes out settlements...

Me, too busy building artillery batteries and firing lines of sentrybots.

Reminds me of a meme about fallout 4 saying something along the lines of: “apparently collecting all the scrap in the wasteland and building random stuff is more important than finding your lost son”

I literally did this, never getting that courser chip analyzed.

Lone survivor: hmmm, oh yeah, I must find shaun, oh wait where do i put my machine gun turret and let's put some generator, connect the wire, aaaaand done, oh nice, okay, let's return on upgrading some weapon and armor

Thats littearly me i think i have an addiction to help out settlers and make them feel comfortable at home in sanctuary while valentine is still waiting for me to meet him about my missing useless son

My first playthrough of Fallout 4 was of a women that had lost her husband and son, but upon ascending from the vault, saw an America that had been destroyed.
She then singlehandedly set about rebuilding America, as best she could. Shame there was no more of those Minutemen fellows, the last of those died in the Museum of Freedom.
Then she came across the greatest evil of all... Forced linear story progression. Even entering Diamond City to trade, presented her with pressure to "search for her son".
America was her son now! It might not have been mentally healthy, but she had filled that void with the work of rebuilding the world she knew.

>story sucks
>characters 1 dimensional
>only 4 dialgoue choices any time
>still lose days of my life to the mods and crafting

This is 100% Me

you should have done, "ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy! ooooh, peice of candy!"...

This was fucking beautiful, and so accurate lmao

To be honest I had a lot more fun doing all the side quest and roaming around discovering places and killing everything figuring out the secrets of the places than doing the actual story. My favorite quest ever is the grandchester mansion

The amount of time I have spent procrastinating in the beginning, having completed the first quest, working on Sanctuary just because I didn’t want to make the hell of a trip that is get to Diamond City in the Jewel of the Commonwealth quest

Seven years later... still rebuildiinnggg

aeheumas ACHKSUALLY, faellout foure staretns in 22q876, this veidejso is dinaccurate!

Literally me rn

It's so real. By the time I arrived at the Institute on my first playthrough I had probably reconstructed 95% of pre-War civilization in the Commonwealth.

I love making my own head cannon based around settlement building. For one run I made an alliance between the BoS and the minutemen and focused my settlements around that.

The story in fallout 4 had so much promise.
Too bad it made no sense most of the time.

lol nice, and also kinda funny your vid info. there is a mod that makes the building part have a story, the sim settlements mods

First time I played Fallout 4, I sided with the Minutemen because they want to make the Commonwealth a better place for people who just want to live in peace.

When I saw that their missions only focus on building- and helping settlements, I realized their missions are boring and don’t side with them again.

However, I do help them until a certain point, then I switch allegiance, because the other factions have quests that make the game more fun and interesting.

If Bethesda adds a Minutemen-like faction in Fallout 5, I hope they don’t make them focus on building settlements and lending out a hand to people in need. Let that be in side quests, but not in main quests.

Preston: why are you shoving that dead body in a junk canon!?

I haven't played the main quest in years. All I do is shoot stuff and build.

Fo4= "its free real estate"

A much better road, that i find is less traveled.

Seems canon.

Me spending several ingame hours making sure my fences are straight.

Upon getting every I need in the Vault (the modded guns, armor, crates of ammo, artificially making myself max with all perks) i always march immediately towards Starlight Drive-in and begin a long process of turning it into something. The first time I just made it into a personal home. Second time, a shoddy outpost. Third I made it into a pretty good military base (Depending on what mods I had on, Enclave at the time). Most of the time now I just make it into a settlement. Sanctuary gets turned into a New Vegas. I also have a want everytime to turn the Red Rocket into an outpost. NCR most of the time. I absolutely love the settlement creator.

I think it was birthed from the Wasteland Defense mod from New Vegas all those years ago

POV: You installed mods for settlement building.

By the time I got to the Institute Sanctuary was a better trading hub than Diamond City.I really underestimated how fun building settlements was

This is so great because its true but also because its a fallout / family guy combo meme😂😂😂 I love it💯

This is art

Ngl that all I did

Ngl, building a city is more fun than the gameplay

This literally had me rolling around my bed giggling. It’s the most god damn accurate meme.

Me giving up the main quest because I don’t feel like building the transporter and instead finishing fucking nuka world and building up raider outposts.

Rebuilding the Commonwealth, one settlement at a time

Me with vault 88

Gotta make sure every settler has a full set of heavy armor, a top of the line gun, and that each settlement has a dozen turrets aimed at the spawn point of any monster/raider attack.

Preston still waiting for me to help the settlement in need...

I recently snagged a watchtower mod and put these in all my settlements to really beef up security. Along with expanded settlements, half the commonwealth is now under some sort of settlement watchtower protection. My current playthrough, I took all the settlements before finally going to Diamond city. I am grabbing up all the companions before rescuing Nick.

😂 yes fuck fallout 4 story was only able to make it through 1 playthrough and it was before console mods existed after mods it's like seriously why bother and given if that's how the institute n the father think about me going ham on settlement building than all the better

😂😂😂

Pretty much

i always roleplay like i never wanted a son and only married because of him and now i'm free

1500 hours in this game, and 1400 of it is customizing housing for settlers who get stuck trying to walk through walls.
