My girl is level 46 now.Īnother fix for Preston's endless quests is to complete the last quest you have and inform the settler so the quest is complete and will not time out and then never return to speak to him about it. I think the raids might get worse as you level up. I don't like cheating like that generally but that was an impossible raid and NO ONE IS DYING on my watch. They didn't even get the brahmin that time but chased after me as I riddled them with bullets. Even with a souped up minigun and the X01 power armour (found two nights ago) I couldn't get them killed so I'm afraid I cheated and killed them off in god mode. I had a supermutant raid on Greentop last night - there were 8 or so of the b*******s plus three or four dogs (I lost count). Oh well, the benefit for that is I seem to be able to build as many of as much as I want on the settlements because I've collected soooo much junk. Until everything in the room is picked up. Now everywhere I go, "get this", "get that", "pick that up", "pick this up". I wish I didn't know this, because it's made me an OCD hoarder. So say a raider or chest has 6 items, you have to command them to inspect it 6 times. However, if they've exceeded their max, they'll only pick up one item at a time. Here's also a time-killing tip that I wish I didn't know, but now that I know it, I can't help but use it: If you command your companion to pick up stuff, they can carry an infinite amount of stuff. Ended up installing a mod to kill radiant quests. For awhile, I avoided him because every time I got close to him, he'd give me some stupid quest about kidnapped settlers. Been busy doing side quests and too many stupid radiant quests from Preston. No idea what Covenant is, I haven't gotten that far in the story, I guess. Just a few water pumps and turrets damaged and the population jumped back up to 4. I got a little saddened when the map said the Finch Farm was down to 1 settler, but when I fast-traveled there, I saw everyone was alive and well. Ended up having to say, "Sorry Finches, but you're on your own." and skipped that fight. Tried about 5 times to save the Finch farm from those Super Mutants and died within seconds. I do have a hard time when 3 super mutants with Missile Launchers are all targeting me at once. So I guess the only reason to bother equipping settlers with better armor or weapons is so they can stay in the fight longer and keep the enemy distracted. They sit on the ground till the fight is over, just like your companion does. Also another case where a Legendary Bloodbug (one tough bastard) repeatedly attacked a settler and he just sat there till the thing was killed. Had super mutants raid a settlement with Missile Launchers and no settlers died. They can die but I'm suspecting it's only at your hands.
