Wasn't there a change to the power armor that would make it more intimidating to lower level bad guys?   I know I read about it somewhere but can't remember if it was in one of the patches or one of my mods.
 
Did the first of the Minuteman mission in clearing out the Corvega plant.  First I snuck around outside and cleared the scaffolding off.  Then jumped back to Sanctuary to grab my power armor and went to clear the interior.   Most of the raider in there screamed and ran away.   Had to chase them down so I could club them to death with the pipe wrench Big Jim.   Overall, we had an enjoyable time, despite the fact the Piper would take off on her own and engage in unwinnable firefights with turrets.

 
I don't think it was the power armor. Looks over at avatar. LOL

oh! it seems the new survival mode is on beta now, go and try it!

Not interested at this time. This game has to much going for it to bother with Survival mode at this time. Maybe after all the DLC has been down loaded.

When I am done, I may go back and try survival mode. Sounds like a whole new game. I think it would be cool if the game did let you sleep when enemies are around and you have a chance of them finding you and doing their own sneak damage. It would also be cool to see a progressive weight/walking system instead of when you are .5 over and then you go from a sprint to a crawl.

Especially after all the DLC is loaded.

I'm getting bored so I think it's about time I started a war and rub out some of the other factions like The Institute and BOS. I gotta clear the playing field a little.

 
Speaking of the BOS, have you noticed how easy their birds get shot down? I even had one do a run on me. It flashed red and the raiders were flying it. I put 1 round into the cockpit and down it came. What a joke. Most of the dog tags that I have are pilots and crew.

The drive in theater settlement... I could not understand why that little pond in the middle was giving off radiation. Well I did, but I could not figure out how to fix it. I finally realized yesterday that I could destroy the radiation barrels. How stupid I felt . I'm designing a base which is built around the pond. Built a water pump which gives 40 points to your water source. It's looking awesome.

 
I found that out a while back also. Have you picked the perk that allows you to breath under water? You'll need it as there are more settlement areas that you can clean the water around them and gain scrap for building.

Hmmm... I was not aware that I would be going underwater. I'll check it out the next time I level.

I'll try and not spoil it here. Some of your settlements that are partially on bodies of water will have, in some cases, their borders that will extend in the water. What is below the surface of that water, within the borders, you can scrap. Hopefully you get what I am talking about.

I've noticed now that when I crouch in sneak mode, I go invisible like the stealth boy.
 
It kinda goes in and out of the stealth mode?  Is this a glitch?  I've never noticed this before and it just started doing it.
 
I've only got 1 perk for stealth which only says I'm 30% harder to detect.

Have you tried verifying your cache? Also, are you wearing any type of armor that will give you stealth mode?

What is verifying cache?
I'll have to check my armor, that could be it.
