Does the dmg done by 'charmed' (wasteland whisperer etc) MOBs count towards the player's damage?
If not it's pretty much settled that I'm trading this game in after my first complete play through. I wanted to do heavy CHA/END/INT companion+Unarmed tanky play through next... No point if it's not viable.
So far my Survivalist melee character is having an easier time than my Hard Sneak/Sniper character

I had my wife play the first 30 mins or so and I forgot about the roaches in the first vault. She freaks out at even a picture of roaches let alone the real thing so when they started chasing her in game she was screaming and yelling shit shit shit! It was hilarious and I regret not recording it.

I highly doubt anything but your own attacks counts towards the damage threshold for XP. Wouldn't unarmed + CH shit be kind of a pain anyway? I mean, you need to aim a gun at the thing to 'charm' it.
I encountered my first legendary radroach yesterday. I was actually somewhat shocked they could spawn legendary. It got one-shot in VATS :/

Wait... is the language specifically 'gun' and not 'weapon'? Do fists not count?
God damn.

Did you rush to get a particular weapon? I had intended to pick up Grognak's Axe very early but I found a serrated chinese sword that does more damage for sale at a shop in Diamond City that should last me until I can get Pickman's Blade.
Even so, any fight with multiple spread out enemies requires me to use chems to survive, while I never used a single chem other than Grape Mentats on my rifle character.
Yeah, it specifically says "With your gun, aim at any..." I'm pretty sure it's aiming down sights that triggers the effect, not just pointing at it.
It's kinda funny to kill a legendary radroach or bloatfly or whatever and have it drop something like a laser musket.
Took a long break from the game since Thursday because rl, can't wait to dig myself in again. It has been some time since i had a gaming experience that resembled that old-school addictive feeling and FO4 delivered that (the last games that managed to do that to me were Kerbal Space Program and M&M X).

So I guess I'm fucked on the Railroad quest line until there's a patch. Boston After Dark won't register that I've "secured the rendezvous point" even though I killed the raiders. Tried reloading an old save multiple times and it happens every time. On PS4 so I can't force the quest to complete either. Hopefully this shit gets patched.
No. Like I said previously I got somewhat lucky and a generic raider in the starting museum dropped a bladed tire iron which lasted me for a while until now where I'm using a bladed aluminum bat. I've gotten pretty unlucky that the legendary melee weapon drops so far have been low tier (boards and wrenches) so I'm just using a generic bat.

Keep plot spoilersi n spoiler tags until Dec 10th's please. I haven't been strong on moderation because I've been mostly skimming the offending posts.
As much as I don't want to make the game easier, is anyone working on a mod to make critical hits useful outside VATS? (ex: how they were in fo3)

I almost restarted my melee character to do that. I feel like I could easily do without Hacking (can save scum with Nick if you really need to get past one), but not having Science seems like a problem. Plus my rifle character was like level 50 before I even finished act 1 of the story, and I still have a ton of sidequests left to do. I'll be surprised if I'm not pushing level 80 by the time I finish the game at this rate. Does anyone really need more xp than that from Idiot Savant? I wouldn't save scum the quest turn-ins, but still... it just seems excessive. Especially on a melee build where you already have less required perks to take.
Full strength is definitely good though. I only started with 3, but intend to raise it to 10 with perks in the late 30's/mid 40's. It's +10% melee damage per point. You can get up to +7 more from gear too, though +6 is more realistic because it's never worth wearing a legendary helmet over a ballistic weave hat.

Yeah, I've tried sitting in the pew and waiting. Tried fast traveling away, coming back, going into building zones and returning, even dragged the raider corpses out of the church, nothing works. The quest still says to secure the rendezvous point, so I'm assuming it's not registering that I've killed the raiders for some reason. I thought maybe one was stuck under the world, but I killed two and that's all I've read that there is.
