Oh god I'm addicted.

There's a place in Vault 95 that can fix that.
And what's the deal with Cait?!? She hates it when I help people. But she LOVED it when I assassinated this poor lady that I'm not sure deserved it. I'm starting to think she's a bit of a psycho. (No pun intended if you've gotten that far.)

MacCready is a bit like this too... he HATES it when you help people without compensation, but loves it when you steal.
Unsurprising really, considering how much of a little shit he was when he was the mayor of Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.
More bullshit with MacCready.
Alright... in Vault 84, he HATED the fact that I gave Austin the cure to his disease for free. Less than an hour later, he's begging me to help him break into a med lab to get a cure for HIS son. Dude, if you needed the drug, maybe you should have fucking said something THEN?

Yeah, Cait and I
cleared out Vault 95. Less than an hour later she tells me that she's really sick and needs a detox center found...in Vault 95. If only we could find it...Funny thing, though, when you get the quest to find it, it will repopulate the guys guarding it outside, including the Assaultron. Inside the guys are all still dead, but it resets all the traps, locks, and items.
I named my character Knight. The Brotherhood has promoted me to the rank of Knight.
I am Knight Knight. They don't call me this, sadly, but they do call me Knight, so it's like they're saying my character's name. Did anyone else side with the Brotherhood of Steel for what's going on?
Random aside: found a holotape with a doofy Robocop reference. Made me laugh.

I'm essentially retaking the farms I originally grabbed for the Minutemen. On the upside, got Brotherhood Power Armor.

Your crops are mine, peasant. You don't appreciate what the Brotherhood is doing for you.
I haven't called in a Vertibird for support yet, but it's going to happen.
Can I point out something that has bothered me since Oblivion?
Since the introduction of instant fast travel in Oblivion, Bethesda has gotten VERY lazy about quests. In Morrowind (where there was no fast travel unless you paid for it in specific places), quests had a logical placement. You generally weren't sent across the entire world unless there was a VERY good reason. Since Oblivion (and Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout 4), you could get sent randomly anywhere for a quest, wherever they wanted to plunk a location.
I dunno, it makes for less immersion for me I guess.
I could just not use fast travel, but they designed the game world around the fact that you can.

I've hit a glitch in the game that I just can't get past. Really, it's my first one but it's a doozy.
So I'm doing the first quest for "Father" and the last part of it is to check out my room. Easy enough. I find it, walk over to the location...nothing. I save the game, restart, go into the room...nothing. So I use the console to finish the quest, which gives me no exp, but whatever. Now the only thing Father says to me is, "You should check out your room." Fuck. Guess I'm not doing any more Institute quests any time soon.
I say to hell with it, go do the railroad quests. I get to where I am infiltrated, and the next quest is basically, "Keep doing Institute quests until we contact you."
I guess I'm fucked. The BoS already hates me and shoots on sight. I think the only thing I have left to do is start shooting up the Institute, get banned, and hope I get Defend the Castle and do the Minutemen ending.

I think you broke it by using the console. The web is telling me the fix to that glitch is to teleport to libertalia and then go back.

Did that. No go. Did everything I could. No go.
Neither. It's X-01 armor with a custom paint job from the Hot Rodder books and red tactical headlamp. X-o1 is pretty hard to get a hold of unless you're willing to do a fairly tough fight to get a whole set of it.

Well then I need to get me some. Get some!
I'm trying to quickly finish the game so I can start over and do my next playthrough.
So, I finished the main storyline the other day, and I have to say:
How thoroughly disappointed I was that I didn't even get a 3 minute summary of my actions or impact on the Commonwealth. Just genetic ending + war, war never changes. Done. Really? FFS, GIVE ME SOMETHING. I mean, now I'm head of the institute. And? How about that speech I recorded. Is that going to get played? Will Diamond city ever hear it? What's their reaction? Come on guys, Fallout: NV did this so much better.
The worst part is, I *like* the game. I LIKE not having to repair my stuff every 5 minutes. I LIKE the perk system. Even some of the dialogue isn't half bad. But that ending really bummed me out. Very anti-climatic. Heck, you even barely get to see the glory of the Patriot bot taking out the BoS blimp.

BETHESDAAAA!
I went with my tried and true liter the place with mines and pray method.
This thread has info on h ow to change the mouse sensitivity in each axis separately. I imagine changing the Y-axis one to a negative value would invert it, though I can't check, of course.
I feel the same, even though I never played Morrowind; it does break immersion a bit. In Skyrim, I just don't use fast travel and walk across the land to do the quest, but in Fallout, I just don't feel like trekking every single time.
Right. A few are like "There are some ghouls bothering us. Please take care of them."
"Oh su--"
"600 miles to the south."
"Those ghouls. Those are the ghouls bothering you."
...
True, but Morrowind also had fun things like "walk this slave halfway across the continent to appease some asshole native Dunmer" and "Walk this native Dunmer clanmother to the dangerous daedric shrine. Hope you can water walk across the fucking ocean!". Quick travel was just as important (which will take me closer to where I want to go, Almsivi Intervention, Divine Intervention, or Recall?) but more a hassle to use because you had to remember silt strider and boat routes.
Wife was watching me play tonight and since I try not to do story missions around her so they're not spoiled for her, I went wandering.
Got kind of bored. A couple cool buggy things happened, but I really just wanted to go do missions. Must have been wandering in the wrong places; there's still a lot of map to cover. But the area reset stuff based on the repeatable quests brings an MMO feel that I don't care for.
Example, Brotherhood guy asks me to take over a farm, and it's Sanctuary Hills. So I do it. Then I go back and ask him for another farm. I get assigned to take over Sanctuary Hills again, even though we already control it.

my super awesome husband got me a copy 
I just finished the main story. I started over as a melee character, but realized that it won't work because of the suicide bomber Super Mutants (I always want to call them Orcs.)
I used Big guns / melee but most melee. I just kept a semi auto or a rifle to kill those. It only takes a single shot
