My brother played all of them, including Tactic and Brotherhood of Steel. I never got into it as I prefer the Baldur's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights. I got dead way too often in the wasteland.

I went into Sanctuary's Workbench and scrolled to the Weapons panel. Then I hit 'R - Take All' thinking I would just take all of the weapons but nooooooooo! It emptied the whole workbench into my inventory. I think I ended up with 38,000 lbs of 'stuff' on me. Thankfully I made a Save as soon as I entered Sanctuary so I could start over.

Most of my weapons are still in Sanctuary but everywhere else the cupboard is bare. I am only putting things in Home Plate from now on. I am missing a double shot legendary Gauss rifle I got in the glowing sea. Even I can't scrap a legendary weapon. What are they doing with them? Feeding them to Synths for lunch??? I left some weapons in the workbenches so they could arm themselves but they're still walking around with them stupid pipe pistols. I'll go around and ask all of my settlers if they want to trade to try and find my legendary weapons I am missing. Then I'll waste the creep that took them. Time to visit all of my settlements and clean them out. I'll take every weapon I find in those workbenches.

 
Something that I noticed awhile back was a scavenger in one of my settlements. Hovered around the workbench. I worked my way between him and the workbench trying to keep him away from it. After a little time he left. He was already there when I got there.
 
Now I have run into a lot of "scavengers" while exploring. Most were already dead so I looted them. The loot varied. So I have to believe that the "scavenger" is the primary culprit. So I think form this point on, if I run into a live one I'll do a save and then help him/her assume room temp.

Rookie.   
 
Started with the original.   Only one I haven't played is The Brotherhood of Steel.   I really enjoyed FO3 and I really, really enjoyed FO:NV.   While I do like playing my way through FO4, it was a bit of a disappointment, largely due to the fact that much of the Fallout lore has been cast aside.     
 
I messed about a bit in game today, but didn't even pay attention to the workbench.  Im about to unwind for a few blowing up mutants, so Ill look a bit closer.

 
That's me. LOL
 
I have both FO 3 and FO:NV. I enjoyed FO 3 but found it hard to do FO:NV. I can't place my finger on it either. FO 3 I have played through a couple of times whereas I have yet to finish FO:NV.

I've done that a few times and some of those were not saved prior to that. Good thing for that "junk" button. Made the returning of all that hardware a lot easier.

That's what happens to Rookies.  Oh wait, I was that way too. LOL
 
It's part of the learning curve. Knowing which enemy can kill you at the current level that you are at and knowing what enemy you can kill also.

I see many scavengers in my travels and they never really bother me. Sometimes I just blast them for the fun of it. The only unwelcomed guest I have seen in Sanctuary is that roaming trader wench whatever her name is. I wonder how the population would respond to their General and unelected self-appointed Mayor killing a scavenger? I would hate to have to repopulate Sanctuary like I did with that other settlement. Some old hag started moaning when her Brahmin got hit by accident. She whined, "Ahh, it died" and suddenly started shooting at me along with everyone else. There were other Brahmin roaming around. I kept walking away and they kept following me until I finally got mad a laid seige to the whole settlement. Final population was 1 because only ADA stayed loyal to me. Since the last update I notice that whenever I draw my weapon it shimmers as if I was using a Stealth Boy. IDK if it is one of the perks I upgraded doing this or not. I have almost a full set of Legendary Chameleon armor I am carrying but I'm not wearing any of it yet. Glitch maybe?

Not necessarily that scavengers bother you on the road but what they might do in a settlement. My personal preference with scavengers is to eliminate them. I don't trust them. LOL
 
That roaming trader that you refer too I believe is Carla. I see her at many settlements to include Bunker Hill at various times.
 
I read that the Legendary Chameleon Armor had some bugs. I don't recall if your problem is one of them but what's to say that it could be tied indirectly to the armor. One way of finding out would be to not carry any of it (store it) and draw your weapon. You may need to reboot the game after you stored it before it will take effect.

Yep, Trashcan Carla. It's coming back to me now. I haven't seen her in a while. The last time was at that diner she visits. Sadly she can't be killed as far as I know or I would have disapatched her to the great beyond long ago.

Didn't someone test this out and confirm that she could?
 
I tried that with that old hag granny and knocked her out of her chair but couldn't kill her. The people didn't like that and let me know about it. Good thing I saved the game before that. LOL
