Started on Very Easy, to beeline for the INT bobblehead. Played on Normal briefly, bumped to Survival shortly after. Dropped it here and there as needed. Probably at 20 - 25 or so when some better gear starts spawning, left it on Survival 99%. My thinking is that you might as well play for those rare drops as frequent as you can get them to appear. Lots of lower end garbage drops, but then you get things like I posted here (well, the last 2) sprinkled in to make it worth it. I'm guessing here, but in 5ish days playtime, probably 200 legendary enemies? I'll look for sure next load. Sometimes you can play for 2 hours and get none, or 3 or more in 5 minutes.
Edit: 189 Legendary kills in 4D 17H 30M
Right on... I was going to say I bet I have around 100 so I knew it'd be much more.
How often do you wear the power armor around?
Never. With 14 in Agility thanks to my armor and one of those adds 10% movement increase, PA is too slow for me to use. You do need it to get the Freefall Armor unless you glitch. Either way sucks. I may use it more in the future with the jetpack, it really opens up where you can go.
Just found the bear mascot head shown at E3. That place was.. interesting.

Right on.. I'm the same way.. I've probably worn power armor for less than 1% of my playtime; it's way too slow for me as well.
Well, I'm officially sick of the game now after playing the hell out of it. If anyone wants my PS4 copy, I'll sell it for $40 shipped paypal (US only).
I'm focusing on different things at a time, getting a feel for each aspect of the game. When I started out, I built settlements like crazy. Then, I spent 2 weeks defending them and doing quests for them. The first two weeks I focused on modding weapons and armor, and now I've moved onto modding power suits. Leaving settlements alone(now that I've armed them all to the teeth), and doing main story quests.
My first character in all of these kinds of games does the full buffet and tries a little of everything. My next characters will be laser-focused on certain aspects.
I've wasted none of my time on settlements. I just direct everyone to Sactuary and it's been fine. I also had to reroll to get the idiot savant perk immediately. With no level cap it may be the most important perk in the game.

Do you or anyone have the issue where you check the data on your settlements via pipboy and it shows an explanation point for low defense or whatever, then when you get there it's fine. The numbers are off (beds, people, defense) on the data screen all the time for me.
I just got this game, and I have played it for 8 hours and havent gone to Diamond City yet. I have a problem lol. I spend too much time building stuff and scrapping stuff. Saving every few minutes in the wild. Reloading saves to replay scenarios better, and spent 30 minutes trying to pickpocket some bobby pins from some chem dealers holding up a diner. I just couldnt get to the perfect spot without being detected. That, and dragging a woman in her undies through the woods.... Im glad there is a game where I can literally get nothing accomplished and still be enthused.

Defense will show as fine in town as long as you have equal to or more than the number of residents. Though in the menu it goes off of the actual defense required (Water+Food amounts).
It's kind of silly that they have the large water pump in the game that produces like 40 when the max town size is 20. (10+X(charisma level).
Once i realized that the max town size was 20, I was really able to go ahead and micromanage my resources much better. Making the maximum level of defense I required to be 41 from food and water.

The large water pump is great for making caps. Any extra purified water that you make above what your town needs goes into your workbench. So if you are making a ton of water you can go there every couple of days and pick up the purified water to sell to a merchant. You will get thousands of caps easy in no time. I made one settlement with 4 of those industrial water purifiers and never had to worry about caps again.
You can also get the town size to like 22-23 with charisma bosting items like armor.

I had zero idea that it made extra purified water, I'll have to remember that for sure. Caps have been a huge problem on my main character, but on my Melee build, they just come in by the thousands thanks to zero usage of ammo.

I built a little market with the various vendor stands, and that makes me a few hundred caps every few hours of play time. There's a pretty decent expense to build them, but the money comes back pretty quickly.
