Where must we go, we who wander this wasteland, in search for our better selves?
In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand." The City's gone,
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.

We wonder, and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.

Hey the laser musket isn't total rubbish. I got an effective freeze, scatter-shot musket from a raider and it was fairly decent, better than the stock lasrifle I had on me at least.

So i just completed the main story with the Brotherhood of Steel.

An Awesome final push towards the Institute alongside Liberty Prime (it was also awesome to see him again) and a great battle inside the institute. Saddened me a little though that i left my son to die in his bed, but i didnt leave empty handed and took the Synth child called Shaun out with me, was not leaving him behind, and if Maxson has an issue with it he can do one.

But yeah thats it then, the institute goes out in a fiery death, and the Brotherhood now stands as the dominant force in the commonwealth but not without its bad moments, the railroad was also put to the sword (sorry about that guys, liked you lot) and i had to execute Paladin Danse when it was revealed he was a Synth (though i didnt want to, he did not give me much choice in the end)

Imo the Institute could not be trusted to save humanity, too many dodgy experiments, killings and kidnappings, the fuckers brought FEV back and everything which was the final nail in the coffin for them in my view. So naturally next character im siding with them i guess to battle against the BOS and see how things differ.

Going to be now so i might mention some more things tomorrow.

Laser musket is literally OP when its fully decked out. At about 3-4 crank you one shot most raiders and everything else.

Six-crank is like, fucking keks.

Then you get all the damage perks.

About to embark on my journey into the Glowing Sea. I'll be taking my BoS T60c Power Armour with me, but I'll need to lead it the fuck up, first. I'll also be wearing my Hazmat suit constantly. I have a metric fuckton of Rad-Away and Rad-X stored up since I don't usually use it too often, about thirty of Rad-Away and about fifty Rad-X stored. I'm bringing Valentine with me because I'm lazy and I don't want to bother equipping another follower with radiation protection.

As for Weapons, I'm going to be travelling light, storing the majority of my weaponry back at my old home in Sanctuary. I'll be taking a Minigun, my Fat Man, my trusty Sniper Rifle, Ripper as a sidearm. Since I don't really know what to expect to face there, does anybody have any suggestions as to what else I should bring?

You're over-prepared to be honest.

The Glowing Sea isn't all that difficult as long as you have at least two brain cells to rub together and aren't mutie scum.

Cool. I'm just worried about my meager Fusion Core supply (12-14, I forget the exact amount.) won't last me. But I suppose we'll see. Once I'm ready to depart I'll post what I'm bringing.

I'd recommend bringing some sort of shotgun, preferably with a decent rate of fire. I went in yesterday, and was almost immediately mobbed by a deathclaw (that I sniped first), like half a dozen bloodbugs, and a radscorpion variant with a skull next to it. The minigun did good against the deathclaw, but the shotgun is what really saved my ass.

I'll consider my trusty Stagecoach gun, then. I think I also gave a Combat Shotgun to one of Sanctuary's Guards at some point...
