What four hours in Fallout 4 really looks like

If you play Fallout 4, then you’re familiar with the game’s unique way of manipulating the passage of time. You’ll sit down with a controller in your hand, and an entire night is gone in what feels like ten minutes. ඣIt’s disconcerting. It’s addictive. You wouldn’t have it any other way.
For non-fans, though, these intense Fallout marathons can be worrying. What could you possibly be doing in one game for so long? So with the release of the Far Harbor DLC 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:in two short weeks, now is a good time to prepare the people around you for wha🍨t to﷽ expect. To help you accurately explain your long absences to friends and loved ones, here’s a breakdown of what might happen in a typical four hours playing Fallout 4.
Hour 1
15 minutes: Go through your Pip-Boy and try to remember what the heck you were doing when you last played. (It was mostly watching Deathclaws 🉐fight Yao Guais in cage matches.❀ Good times!)
5 minutes: Preston has another settlement that could use the Minutemen’s help. Wait, didn’t he just༒ send you to Tenpines Bluff last week? Whatever, you can be the hero for a helpless town. Again.
10 minu𒉰tes: Decide that Dogmeat’s doghouse could really use some pizzazz. Write his name in neon on the fence behind it. Grab the pup as your companion and head out.𒀰 You’re minorly inconvenienced by a pack of bloatflies, but nothing serious.
30 minutes: K✨ill ghouls at the Poseidon Reservoir for Tenp🍨ines Bluff. Lots and lots of ghouls.
Hour 2
10 minutes: Go to Goodneighbor to sell off your stuff from the ghoul fight. Clean KL🎃-E-O out of ammo and Stimpaks,🍷 just in case.

10 minutes: Do a quick Silver Shroud quest. Briefly debate just eliminating the gun smuggling ring outright. Come to your senses and intimidate them into giving you a cut instead. It&rsqꦯuo;s Goodneighbor, after all.
2 minutes: Listen to Hancock give a speech about 💟h🌊ow great his town is.
8 minutes: Go talk to Hancock. Laugh at Dogmeat running arou♌nd behind him, but pay enough attention that you agree to do a favor for the head honcho. He will be your companion yet!
10 minutes: Leave Goodneighbor and wander, setting ⛄some cages. Your gladiator pit needs new victims. Accidentally stumble into a super mutant camp and get blown up by a suicider.
20 minutes: Redo every꧙thing since the end of th🌞e ghoul fight because you forgot to save. Stupid suicider.
Hour 3
30 minutes: Successfully avoid super mutant attack and wander up to Bunker Hill, setting cages along the way. Make quick work♊ of a raiderꦑ pack outside the city. Dogmeat finds a stash of caps, mentats, and some pipe weapons.
5 minutes: Since he was such a good boy, you buy a red bandana from one of the traders and give it to Dogmeat. Admire🗹 how cute he is. Regret for the millionth time that there’s no option to pet him.
15 minutes: Start to have a conversation with a townsperson, when Dogmeat decides that he shoulꦰd be the center of attention. Laugh your head off as the pup inexplicably floats in midair and gets all up in your face.&nbꦅsp;
15 minutes: Save video of Dogmeat glitching around, edit and post to YouTube.
5 minutes: Stash the junk from your in𝕴ventory at Bunker Hill.
Hour 4
5 minutes: Review your guns and if you can make any mods for them. You’ve been hanging on to a couple un🐭ique weapons for ages that you never actually use. Make a new capacitor for Old Faitꦚhful, but you’re missing adhesive for the scope you want.
5 minutes: Look through your current🀅 quests for places that might have lots of junk. Hey, what a surprise, a settlement is havꦐing raider trouble! Perfect.
30 minutes: Kill raiders at Corvega Ass🔥embly Plant. Lots and lots of raiders.
10 minutes: Quick stop at the Drumlin Diner to sell. Remember to save after selling. Then back to Bunker Hill to fi▨nish making your new scope.
5 minutes: Tweet out your Dogmeat video.
5 minutes: Wait, it’s been four hours already? That wasn&rsq𝔍uo;t nearly enough time. Maybe just one more hour…
