I hadn't noticed. Might be because there are so many more files in the DLC that have to load.

IMHO I think it's good. Play through for me was about 4 hours. The main game in general however is better due to the new enemies that stay with it after the play through. For me, that adds value. I should also add that I bought it early.
I notice when I fire my flare gun that there are never any Minutemen available any more especially against robots. On the other hand, no respectable Minuteman would be seen in the neighborhoods I tend to frequent.
I have as of yet to fire my flare gun. I don't need the help and I don't want the headaches that may accompany the accidental shooting of the good guys. Is that neighborhood the Red Light District? LOL

I can't recall the settlement name, but it's at the very bottom of the map. It's kind of in a swamp area, but there is definitely a settlement here. In that area tends to spawn a mirelurk queen every time, with 4-5 regular mirelurks. Can be quite challenging, and I you're on survival, can be your worst nightmare. If you have this settlement decked out, should make it a breeze.
(I would like to see Bethesda release a DLC with a quest to allow a "zombie raid" where 50-75 of the radiated zombies come and attack Sanctuary. This quest would then be repeatable)
That Mirelurk Queen is a breeze when you are high enough level wise and with a few perks. The Mirelurk Queen should be the least of your worries now. Those new baddies that came with the DLC are nasty and generally the don't come alone.

A new kind of Ghoul seems to have appeared along with the DLC. I can't remember what they're called but they look like glowing charcoal and are really hard to kill.
I have as of yet not seen it. But if the past combat with the other ghouls is an indication of what's to come, break out the shotgun and I'm talking about something that has a high damage score and very large magazine. Mine shreds them in short order.

This game has literally made me dislike robots.
LOL I know the feeling. There are some very tough bots and when they pack up and attack, damage usually follows.

I can deal with most of the robots. It's the Scavengers that are miraculously hovering in the shadows that steal the parts before I can get to them.
Scavengers were doing this before the DLC. I encountered one at one of my settlements and he didn't give the time of day. I was on him like stink on crap and I made my presence known. He left. I was thinking about shooting him.

What's the verdict as far as updating? I purposely stayed offline and have never updated because I want to play stable but if I want to try any DLC, I will have to update. I saved my save folder, anything else to know aside from saving often? Or should I not bother?
Are you running any mods? If so, that may cause you problems. Do the down load of the DLC. It adds a whole new element to the game even after you complete that mission.

So I believe I'm on the latest build, but my load times are much longer than what they used to be. I have the game loaded on a SSD, have verified the files through steam and yet it is much longer that what they used to be. Has this been addressed already or is there a fix?
Mine seems like it did before the down load.

Time to verify my cache again. I'm traveling with Hancock and he fell off a roof and just sat there. I had to load a previous save from before his 'accident'. There was no option to Stimpack him. Just had my first crash to Desktop in over a month. It was a good thing too because I failed to save Kent who was being beaten by Raiders at Milton Hospital. Either way those Raiders are history.

Who's Kent? I remember a radio guy that was being held but I forgot his name.

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.

There is a Minuteman paint scheme I just found you can add to your Power Armor that increases Charisma. I haven't tried to snooker anyone with it yet. It might come in handy some day when I am negotiating prices with a Vendor.

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.

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.

turn on Survival. It's a new experience; you're no longer "god", and healing takes time. So, you have to run and hide behind objects until your health gets back up. I noticed more that I have to switch between weapons to take out enemies. I have to avoid flame throws. Enemy NPCs that have sniper rifles I have to avoid as well, and have to go around them to take them out. I have to use more of Buffout and Psycho with mentats more, while using the extra foods and stimpacks. Using stimpacks alone is not enough to take out enemies on survival mode, and I can't run full blitz at the enemy and be tank while taking all the damage. Then again, my character is made to do full damage, and is not a meat shield. Using Jet is a huge bonus in survival mode. If you start out a new character on survival mode, good luck. And of course, you will have to ultimately continue to avoid any enemy NPC carrying a fat-man. Never let a super mutant carrying a mini nuke hit you. You'll have to load the latest save. Never let a grenade hit you, you may just die, resulting in the latest save. Avoid taking on a turret firing at you. They can rip you apart, and you will be loading the latest save. Avoid a super mutant with a mini gun. They'll cut through you like Jello, and... you'll be loading the latest save. Bottom line, it takes a little more strategy and tactics to be used in a gun fight. Not to mention, the extra legendary NPCs, with the constant legendary items and armor being dropped  I ran into that giant super mutant that has a kart on the back of him. VATS with my sniper rifle barely put a dent in him. Grenades slightly took care of the issue, but it was the shotgun that did most, while in VATS. I had to run off into a building and hide, fortunately a group of brotherhood in a chopper were flying around, and distracted him before i could get the last couple shots off.

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 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!
https://bethesda.net/#en/...val-mode/2016/03/29/96
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.

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.

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.

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.
