Fallout 4: Let's Play Episode 10! Face Off With Kellogg! 

I do believe that those 2 deathclaws fighting is random, I had 2 fighting just outside of starlight drive-in.

Couple tips for ya. You can keep an eye out at the various weapon vendors there’s 3-4 throughout the cities and they will get the gun mods as they unlock in the perk tree. So you don’t actually have to take gun nut or science. You can just jot down the mods you want and keep ya eyes peeled for when they sell one with it and then take the mod off it and put on your stuff. Saves buncha perk points to try other stuff out. Also honestly I would hold off on all the new stuff they just added. It will ruin your experience. All the weapons and armor are OP and will take away from your first experience with everything. Plus the enclave ones are super tough

Can I make a suggestion.... Since you are not specked into the automatic weapon perk, it's best to put the overseers guardian as a standard rifle... You are specked into the rifleman perk, so you'll get more out of that weapon than having it as automatic.

1:40:17 You can always come back to almost any ruin and get all the million pounds of things they put in them. This ruin is particularly rich in junk, ammo and other stuff. Its a real treasure trove. Its like Mzulft in Skyrim, you can make like 7 trips into that place and still not get it all.

Perfect for a Sunday morning, cheers

1:30:20 That Bobblehead makes Righteous Authority a hell of a weapon

Convert Overseer's Guardian into a proper Sniper Rifle, you'll enjoy it a lot more.

Just a quality of life tip: if you sneak, your companion will run up to you to keep close distance, it's a good way to force them to get close if you're over-encumbered and they aren't around.

ah Lazy Sundays.. sitting around smoking some dank, drinking some brews, watching RU-vid videos don’t mind if i do 🤘😎

TIP: instead of going up to the enemy u just killed and hitting the "take" button, use the "transfer" button, this will open their inventory and u can take what you need, including the weapons they have on them and then immediately transfer the weapons back to their inventory u dont need and that u just grabbed for the ammo.. It will save you time of stopping, going through your inventory and dropping the handful of weapons you just picked up. U will find it will be much more efficient for ya.

PLease please don't waste any more perks on Toughness. It's the most useless perk

I apologize for to many advice`s. Sometimes to much help is to much, if you get my grip. :) Love your play through. Have fun 😊😃

It doesn't take long for a crit to charge (even of your luck isn't high), and I'd suggest triggering a crit headshot on the strongest enemy in you sight, like a synth strider in this mission. Nuka Cherry isn't useless. It's a healing item that gives you an AP buff also. Gives you a bit of rads, but you probably won't be burning through your radaways because of a few beverages.

It says Nuka-Cola in right field instead of Budwieser. Awesome

The music playing in the "background" is so loud, it is difficult at times to hear you and the dialog of the characters. Really enjoying the series. Keep it up. An awesome game!

Well, playing this game, or any Fallout Bethesda game for that matter, won't be challenging while playing on normal difficult. Only high level and legendary enemies will be challenging. The only time Fallout becomes interesting and therefore challenging is playing on very hard or survival mode.

No dlc spoilers please!!!❤

Watching this while I get ready for work, still loving your playthrough dude!

All weapons hold rounds on thus game in some areas you can come out with enough cells to last a while

If you hate Mole Rats, wait till you get to Radscorpions!

Oh gawd! Thank you so much for your attentiveness! So many playthroughs I've watched and they're all too busy yammering or fast travel as soon as they exit Fort Hagen that they never hear Nick doing his Edgar Allen Poe quote. Been loving your playthrough and can't wait to get caught up! Funny thinking back to earlier episodes and people accusing you of having played before but when you pay attention, are methodical and use common sense (in short supply these days), it truly shows! Thank you!

First hell yeah Love the vids

Great episode. I was wondering, did some answer your question about renaming clothes? I have kept my mouth shut because you're not quite there yet and I want you to enjoy the experience. It all depends on your decisions. Yes, that last event is scripted, as I'm sure others have likely said. Vincent is an interesting character, a poet if you caught the quote. Looking forward to your next adventure.

The way I deal with Kellog and his synths is to scatter lunchbox bombs strategically on the floor as I walk in keeping to the right of the room to avoid the “force greet” . By the time he challenges me Im on the far side of him with Nick in an advantageous position and a mine right at his feet. The first thing I do is back up fast, by the time I pull the trigger its practically over.

I've played it a thousand times and I always forget how to get into that room in Fort Hagen that you had trouble with. What's also bad is that if you don't exit from the right place, the airship never shows up, which can potentially halt progress in the main story. I don't know why they never fixed that.

The new quests are creation club stuff from the "update" Those who have downloaded the "update" now have broken mods. I don't have the "update" so my fallout 4 still works

Oh I like watching these in the night. Cheers mate, I’ll be back later.

If Nick (or any other non-canine follower can't take items directly, you can still ask them to pick them up from the ground or even search fallen enemies - they will ignore their weight limit.

Much anticipated, much appreciated.

Aaah my favourite monday afternoon watch Good job getting nick there still you need to talk to them more 1:33:23 tought you would miss the bobblehead that makes righteous authority an even better powerhouse then it is Always love the prydwen coming in after this mission wich indeed is a triggered event You are now a step closer to both the institute as the BOS you might want to seek out paladin danse now his crew has arrived The brotherhood has a great story arch

Another good episode. Do you get the ammo from a weapon you pick up then just drop?

I'm shocked you've seen the makeshift bomb at the door before running into it 😂 you're getting better and better!

Just an observation about the Toughness perk. You get a one-time buff of 20 HP. If, instead, you were to put the perk point into Endurance you would boost the HP you receive at each level-up PLUS, Endurance HP is applied retroactively PLUS, it affects the rate AP depletes while sprinting. [HP = 80 + 5E. HP/level = 2.5 + E/2]. So, for example at level 20 boosting your Endurance by one gives you an additional 10 HP but you will earn more each subsequent level AND your AP drains slower while sprinting. At E=10, you get 7.5 HP per level and, if you wait until after then to pick up the E bobblehead you will go to E=11 and 8 HP per level plus the retroactive bonus. (Bobblehead SPECIALS boost to 11 in FO4). Oh, and an observation about the Idiot savant perk. This one is best when your Intelligence is very low. Diminishing rewards for higher Intelligence. You can google the table that explains the likelihood of Idiot Savant XP bonuses per level of Intelligence verses regular XP per Intelligence. Basically, from memory, the payoff is for I=1 or 2.

When dismissing a follower, if you press B (Cancel), they will return to their 'home' location. So for Piper, she would go back to Publick Occurrences. A scope on an automatic weapon is not a good idea. A reflex sight would be better. The Overseer's Guardian is better suited as a sniper rifle, because even with all the recoil-dampening modifications, it still has a lot of recoil. 47:32 - The Deathclaw saw you because you've got your light on. Nick only started to shoot at it when it became a threat. VANS was getting confused in Fort Hagen because you had to go down to a lower level, but as you found out later, the only way down was via the elevator. VANS (usually) shows the most direct route, but obstacles such as chained doors and barricades will confuse it. 1:19:00 - Out of curiosity, how did you not see the laser tripwire? You could have used the weapon workbench in Fort Hagen to remove the mods from weapons you gave to Nick, or scrap them for components. You could have also upgraded your existing weapons, as you did take Gun Nut 2 earlier. When you tried to get Nick to hack the terminal, you had a level up. You could have spent in on Expert Hacking. Don't forget to loot bathroom mirrors. The game does an autosave each time you exit the Pip-Boy. When you were fighting Kellogg, he used a Stealth Boy, that's why you couldn't see him. If you look carefully, (which is difficult during combat), you can see where he is, as the wall behind him appears distorted by the effects of the Stealth Boy. Remember, you have consumables such as Grilled Radstag, Buffout and alcohol, which will temporarily increase your carry weight. Leaving the difficulty on Normal is fine, as you're going to start to encounter higher level enemies. Increasing the difficulty will just turn enemies into bullet-sponges. Unless you want to try Survival difficulty, but I wouldn't recommend that on your first playthrough.

2 death claws?! I just did this quest myself and all I got was mole rats 😂 bad luck Mike but beautifully done!

Only took me 21 hours to watch the full episode. Congratulations on taking out special K. I had forgotten what this exchange even looked like in a vanilla game, it's been so long. By level 25 there really isn't much of a challenge to the game, so it should be pretty easy going moving forward for you. Scavenging for what settlements need is pretty much it. That being said, it may be worth considering holding on to junk weapons during a dungeon crawl, as there are quite a few random benches one could use to break them down before you leave the location. You always have the option to drop them or stuff them in a container for a return trip as long as you don't wait to long to get back. If your not overburdened, you're throwing away perfectly good bottle caps... and your homemade brew will go flat 😅

It's always interesting to see how people play this game. Everyone is different. For instance I pick up everything. And what I can't pick up I go back later and get it. In my current game I'm level 45 and I have over 25000 caps. I'm sure other people have even more at that level. I sell all the crappy weapons, armor and food. If I sold the good stuff I'd probably have more caps. But I save it for my settlers. And if I buy something from a vendor I sell them other items to get my caps back.

The level up happend down in vault 88

Kellogg didn't just crouch. He used Stealthboy - it really makes you invisible (and not targetable in VATS) for 1 minute

Well done, Mike, on taking down Kellogg without serious injury: between the stealth boys, the grenades, the synth henchmen, and the just-plain-toughness, he's a hard one to beat.You really are pretty calm in a firefight. All the same, good on you for increasing the difficulty. Continuing to enjoy your playthrough, thanks.

I'm new to Fallout as well, but following this series for interest having watched (and still watching) all your Skyrim content. at 14:30 when you panned round the city at the top of the elevator and commented on the old signs about World Series champions, I worked out that Diamond City is within the old Red Sox stadium - hence the name (baseball) "Diamond", and why the need for green paint on the walls. All the old stands form the walls of the city. Nice work from Bethesda there.

Nice, love watchin these. Some more historical facts for ya. ‘Fat Man’ was the name of one of the nukes dropped on Japan during WWII. Probably why the game devs call it that.

Still enjoying your playthrough a lot. I like that you really try to understand the story as it progresses, and you observe your surroundings and note why things are the way they are. A suggestion that you can take or leave, of course. I would wait awhile on doing the new quests included with the latest update. I think many of the viewers have completed most of the quests you're doing and we enjoy watching how you go about them. Since the update quests are new for *all* of us, I'd rather play through them myself before watching someone else to avoid spoilers. Just my two cents. Looking forward to the next episode.

I just started a new playthrough with the update on PC. The load times when entering new cells are unbearably long. In fact this morning when I entered the elevator in vault 81 I waited until I was bored. Then I walked across the house to the kitchen and got a pot of coffee from the coffee maker and returned to my seat just in time for the elevator doors to open. lol

there are several magazines in Fort Hagen, you should look it up on the wiki to make sure you got them all. you should do that after finishing locations, if you care about getting all magazines and bobble heads.

Another good video Mike. When I did this mission I missed the energy bobblehead so halfway through your video had to get back into my game and find it haha.

Another episode. Awesome.

oh yeah i forgot to say, the way speedrunners do this mission, they get the fat man and run straight through to Kellogg, and just obliterate him with mini nukes 😂

not sure about the latest update but since the game came out i have had a bug where after you kill kellogg and take the elevator the elevator just goes up forever and never loads the next area and i have to reload my save and try again

You should go check out that big ship in the sky, the brotherhood of steel, trust me, you’ll love it.

Do Firestarter - really small quest but gets you one of the best power armor in game.

Enjoying the videos! There's a lot of good tips in the comments already, but I'll add another. Just like dogmeat some companions have skills that you can use. For instance Nick is pretty good at hacking, so if you have a terminal that's locked above your level you can command him to attempt to pick it for you. There's one you haven't met yet that's good at lockpicking, one that can steal items. Others will occasionally give you items like ammo or chems. Many of them also have questlines that can eventually grant you a special permanent perk.

Yeeeees! Always great fun and therapeutic (in a sense) to smack the crap out of Kellogg and his army of Synths. Love the smack talk he provides as you get closer to him as well.

🔥🔥🔥 as per usual Mike!

12:30 Not that it really matters for this specific mission now, but I think you can click on Nick and ask so your crosshairs are flashing and point at the door and he’ll try again. Not one hundred percent certain though. 29:54 Little tip here: even if your meter says “caution” you still haven’t been detected and will still get a damage bonus from attacking from a sneak position. So this engagement - or any similar - take the first shot at the strongest/highest health enemy. Because once you take that shot you’ll more than likely be detected and will lose the damage bonus - unless you spec into stealth where you can remain undetected. 32:07 On this Pip-Boy screen where you see your character, press R1 (or equivalent) to see your active effects - like boosts from foods, drinks, chems or diseases. 48:44 Might be because you’re walking around like a lit up Christmas Tree, lol. I know you said previously that you don’t really care about that. Just be aware that some sneak attacks can do 3-4-5 times damage, depending on the weapon and what perks you use. They can be extremely powerful like Skyrim. 57:02 Oftentimes, if you’re looking to be a bit more stealthy and want to play that way, as soon as you enter a building just turn and tell your companion to stay. Then you can initiate combat on your terms. 58:15 Honestly, that’s what I usually do. Just clear all enemies and then go around cleaning up afterwards. Just be careful if it’s a door with a loading screen. I don’t think it will wipe/reset the room but I’m not sure. I’ve never experienced a room resetting when I’m in the same location but just be aware. Having said that it’s probably difficult when you’re making videos. You’d spend twenty minutes every dungeon going around looting instead of doing it as it happens. Great episode mate, cheers. Yeah you was breezing through the enemies. Maybe you’d enjoy it more if it was a little bit of a challenge. I look forward to the next episode 👍🏻👍🏻.

Why your family? Well Nick let me tell you that Nate is a war criminal and Nora is a CRIMINAL lawyer... The Enclave wasn't in fallout 4 because Nate the rake scares the Enclave.
