Just did Tenpines/Corvega tonight and am going to look at what to do there regarding how to set it up. I've gone a whole month of in-game time just on that alone.
Got all the SS stuff out of the museum and started a 'model' settlement at Sanctuary to 'intice' others to come and expand my settlement. Recently decided to scavenge Concord and came across the fight and roleplayed that. Spent a lot of time fixing that up and scavenging around the area, just finding food to survive. The Basement Living mod ( )is helpful here as I'm on Survival and being able to completely get out of radstorms is nice plus it gives a nice excuse from a roleplaying perspective as my character doesn't want to see much of her old home right now. Click to expand.My current playthrough involves being overwhelmed and distraught at first so just spending time around Sanctuary/Abernathy/Red Rocket at first.
