I've got my hands full on 'Normal' difficulty right now. Most games I start out on 'Easy' and then play the whole game again on the next highest level until I am at the 'Hardened' or highest level. I have seen videos where if you come across a Legendary enemy or know where one will spawn and change the difficulty to Survival Mode they'll drop a more powerful Legendary weapon for you.

 
I heard that also. I've been tossing that around also. That quick save button will really get a work out. LOL

From what I have read you can not quick save in survival mode. Only sleeping in a bed works and fast travel is disabled. I want to try it out now but that could have been a mod I was looking at also...

stalinx20,
 
A side note. I had issues a while back and ended up removing FO 4 and then reinstalling it. I had the saves still present and I was fortunate that I didn't lose any data.

I tried that. I erased FO4 and reinstalled it, but it was still crashing, but I also still had the mods installed. Once I erased the mods, and reinstalled the game, it went away, but I tested it with a new character. I will see what happens if I load my existing character.

I know what it's like to be in your spot. Nobody wants to lose that which you worked err played hard to get. LOL I hope it works for you.

Confirmed. It was the mods giving me problems. Old save is working now. Got my old lvl 55 character back.

It damaged my thumb pretty bad as I was tring to pull the burning wires out of the case. LOL  The Swiftech pump is toast, literally.
 
I've been waiting two days now for a response from Swiftech. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. The wiring on Swiftech pumps short out quite frequently where they enter the housing.
 
 

 
Are you sure it's toast? Did you try some peanut butter and jam on it? LOL
 
I'm thinking they are not like EVGA. You may have to spam them to get their attention. Hopefully nothing else is bad due to the bad pump.

It's PARTY TIME at Stalinx20's place.
 
I think what happens is that reloading the game sets things correctly once the initial problems (mods) are resolved/removed. Now, continue the march!!!!

If what you say is fact, I think I will take a pause on that idea for awhile. Man that looks a lot tougher than I thought it would be.
 
 
I just did a little reading about survival mode and considering that they are going to allow weight to be added to ammunition I will take a longer pause than initially stated earlier.

I'll pass on the survival mode challenge.   I play to relax and I can see myself ranting at the screen non stop when a rad roach and a mole rat stomp me into the dirt.

watch out for rats attached with bombs to them. As far as saving, you can save any time.

That pump is history. The last time I had to RMA a pump with Swiftech they kept me waiting for almost two weeks after receiving the old one while Amazon showed they had 23 new ones in stock. I had to file a grievance with Amazon and it sill took me a week to get my replacement shipped out. I should have taken the refund offered by Amazon and got the XSPC dual-bay combo unit. Now my video boards are running 10° hotter than normal. I hope that Swiftech pump didn't lose it's cookies and hurl chunks through my loop. If I ever get my replacement I am going to reapply TIM to the GPU die anyway. I am ready to go back to air cooling.

My level 55 character doesn't break a sweat on survival mode, when he is carrying his "double shot" bolt action .50 cal rifle. He's also packed with a .308 bolt action rifle which adds energy damages. He was being shot at by that drone which has 2 mini guns attached to it, and maneuvers around by 3 wheels (you know what I'm talking about?) and then with a turret on top of the building... Yeah. They didn't stand a chance. I have Cait with a custom shotgun with that "quick release drum". I have a lot of modifications in my gear that I found in the game which I customized to make my character stronger.
 
However, my level 5 character on survival doesn't survive more than 15 seconds   
 
I have to add that Cait loves her grenades...
