Gonna post/tell some of my fallout oddities here and ss when im on my computer but i will type up rn
So currently i am pretty sure im lvl 17 and i beat swan and leveled up for him (those who dont know swan is a pretty powerful boss who is lvl 50) with probably imo one of the best weapons in the game a modified heavy flamer which i just spammed a ton and managed to somehow kill him and it was surprisingly easy and so far thats one of the only ways ive gotten fiber glass which was from of his drops and fiber glass is useful because u can make a lot of scopes and attachments with it for guns
Oh yeah and ive completed so many side quests before going to like the second main story objective it is unreal (going to diamond city) ive just gone into random buildings, wiped them out only to discover from someone telling me it was part of the main story. I also killed a guy called pyro and then the enclave tried to jump me so i got a free op suit of power armour from one of them (may or may not have died about 20 times while figuring out how tf to kill this guy in op power armour) but alas i did it with a sneak attack and sniper
You play with the new update? 
I got the game last week 
Downgrade your fallout version and install 200 mods
Then you’ll experience true peak
My dad somehow plays like that AND on survival mode 
My dad also has around 850 hours on the game and knows just about everything about the game
