Restart. Entirely new route. PC needs to gain more levels. So new routing with different initial SPECIAL stats. for maximum XP gain. Then compromise for playability. Then compromise again for necessary accomplishments, and again for required perks. My geometry class was easier.

Comments from my partner: "I think you could have made it if you had about 20 more stimpacks." "Who made that gun; the Easter Bunny?

THANKS MUCH!!!

The following is all just practicing. Just to add a little spice to my runs I'm doing it glitchless of course, no unnecessary kills and without armor. 100%+?

Questions. I came across an Explosive Assault Rifle at PC level 2. Is this a glitch? Seems it must be. My video card sometimes nuts up and can seriously drop the frame rate. Elephant size pixels. Is it against the rules to drop to desktop and restart? In rescuing Nick from Park Street Station I discovered Dino could be talked to instead of shooting him, so shooting him is against 100%+ No Unnecessary Kills rules?

This routing .... ARRRG!! I did an experiment run last night just to test some things and had saved 45 minutes! Then discovered a certain element hadn't spawned yet and to get it to spawn I'm forced to make an insane dash through numerous enemy locations and spawning points. Something that really would/should require multiple segments. Another half hour of wasted time or a huge amount of RNG luck.

I really should make some videos of When Things Go Very Wrong. Just running the Nick rescue. From entering the station to his comment about the sky. Requires all head shots. I was 2 minutes ahead of my best run then accidentally shot Nick in the head - twice. Then missed Skinny Malone 4 times. and died. A split second toss of a grenade and I could blitz through the area. Oop. Tossed a mine instead. Easy head shot of a super mutant. A slight loss of time to expedite things. Super mutant does one of those sideways teleport numbers and I shot a Diamond security person instead. Of course everyone attacked the PC. No stimpack! Oh well, drink water to restore health and die of radiation instead.

Thanks much for the response!

Right now I am simply orienting myself to speed running. I've chosen FO 4 because that is the only game I've played in almost 2 years so I'm familiar with it. My plan is to do the main quest.

Presently I'm just doing routing practice, using the Minutemen story line. But finding the best way to get from one place to another, and grabbing only what I will need... Sounds simple, about as simple as first year college engineering. Make a list in the correct order?, collect or do what is required, avoid fighting, what pre-requisites are required and what aren't or can be substituted or somehow avoided.

Discord wants me to download something. Is this necessary?

I'm speed running the initial segment of FO 4, an impossible version of the main quest., just to challenge myself. After numerous runs I had got my target goal accomplished in 8 hours 53 minutes. Then yesterday I completely rerouted my strategy as an experiment and suddenly knocked three hours off the time.

So my question is, does anyone have general suggestions as to how to plan routes? Any guidelines? It's really frustrating pounding away run after run then suddenly discover nearly everything I've been doing is wrong and I needed to completely rethink my routing.

(If there is a category for most inept gameplay on the leaderboard I'm applying for the position of poster girl > Klutz runs)

I5 3330 and a lovely GTX 750 TI card here. I'm the FO 4 rain god!! When it rains my frame rate drops to around 10 and most of the screen is big white blonks of pixels. And the game knows me and makes it rain at least half of the time. But on the bright side, I get 30 fps when everything is working just right.

Apologies in advance if this is A, old news or B, too dumb for words. I manged once in a few dozen tries, well, thousands. Setting off a bomb as I was triggering a korok to appear. Cut scene didn't trigger. Frame perfect? I'm a klutz so there's no way I can tell if it's repeatable. If it's possible you shave off 6 seconds x 900.

@Daravae She needs assistance. If this is a problem please feel free to delete this account.

I have created this account for myself and a friend. The reason is simple: we love some video games but we both suffer from neurological problems that makes it impossible to operate controllers in a coordinated manner.

So what better way to enjoy video games that watch them played by the best of the best players in the world. Many many thanks to this forum and all the runners out there!!

And an extra hello to @halfcoordinated!
