That's because Dogmeat was supposed to accompany the player and another companion, like F3/NV (a humanoid and one dod/ED-E), and the name is a reference to The Lone Wanderer (in as ending slides he is only with Dogmeat. That'sis why the perk works with the Dog). But the changed minds and removed from the game, even if all companions like when you use a stimpack on him. There's a mod that re-enable that, I think that already has for Xbox and Playstation already.

Loving the Fallout content. Some quick notes: - Refractor / Rad Resist / Toughness are not %s. Those numbers are based on some diminished returning values based on damage taken. For example, some power armor pieces have 300 damage DR or more. So 10 DR for a perk point is really not great. - Rooted is insane with a melee or unarmed build. I run almost exclusively unarmed and melee build variants and the game breaking combo is Chemist, Rooted, Iron Fist / Big Leagues, and Armorer. Psychobuff + Bufftats + Overdrive (crits outside of vats). Run up to some sucker, plant yourself for a split second, and power attack = kill cams constantly. No power armor required even in survival. So satisfying.

So melee is actually extremely broken in fallout 4 because it's so easy to boost it's damage. Just maxing out ninja gives melee weapons a massive x10 sneak attack bonus. That bonus is actually multiplicative with deacon's cloak and dagger perk so it becomes X12 if you have both. Then Blitz both adds extra damage and gives you insane vats range. Rooted stacks with blitz because while you're in vats the game counts you as being stationary. Strength is also really easy to boost as you can stack multiple different chems, booze, and food to give yourself massive amounts of strength.

Unfortunately, both Refractor and Toughness only give you an extra 10 points of ER/DR per rank, not 10 percent. Also, Refractor is pretty demanding on the PER tree with rank 7 so you gotta invest quite a few points into it. Basher can be fun if you use mods, btw: I created a super short-ranged twin-barreled shotgun with a very pokey business end on it which deals more damage than your usual bayonet. It's so satisfying to blow two 12-gauge shells into a target's face when you're up close and persoinal and then finish the job by poking one last extra hole into them (or two in this case, as it's one pokes steel shard per barrel ^^).Also: Science is your bread&butter perk for settlement building, just like Local Leader 02. Always getting them asap whenever I start anew, although I just created a mod which removes LL02 as a requirement for most of the shops and workbenches and replaces them with getting a long list of tools you need to refurbish first instead.

I thought toughness was just a static +10 and so on to Dr not a percentage, which even +50 is really bad after ballistic weave but +50% is hue

Locksmith is pretty overrated. Safes and locked rooms just don't have enough loot to always justify the perk points. Night Person has a ton of synergy for a stealth build, since it is harder to notice you at night. Awareness and Sniper are great for a pure VATS build. Pair that with Macready's perk and you'll frequently get situations where you'll have a 95% headshot chance while torso shots have like 60. Penetrator isn't just for wallbanging, it also makes it easier to target enemy's heads when they're positioned awkwardly. It also trivializes Mirelurks and Sentry Bots. Lead Belly isn't worth it, even on Survival Mode. Even if you don't have the Sunshine Tidings perk magazine, you should never run out of rad-free meat. Aquaboy/Aquagirl is one of the safest ways to travel in Survival Mode. Bloody Mess really isn't worth it all the time. One perk point for 5% damage isn't that great and the chain reaction effect is stupidly rare. Grim Reaper's Sprint is insane, it pretty much makes Action Boy redundant.

Awareness frustrates me. It was a part of the meta in NV that you would learn the different DT values of different outfits, using your knowledge of different ammo types and effects to both deal and avoid damage. Living anatomy is a brilliant perk that provides a ton of utility in NV because it fits into the carefully balanced nature of that game, awareness however just exists to highlight how lazy the balancing is in Bethesda games. I usually still take awareness as a sort of cope though regardless of this flaw.

Scrounger can be especially powerful for power armor: if you have power armor or a gatling laser, fusion cores are given more priority in spawn chance, so Scrounger increases the chance of finding them because fusion cores count as ammunition.

Toughness is S tier, excuse me!? You do realise it's flat DR, not %? 50 DR for five whole perk points is beyond lackluster, considering that regular armor with ballistic weave gives you hundreds of DR and ER and power armor can give over 1000. The actual damage reduction % in late game armor (which is when you unlock the highest rank of the perk) is literally single digit %. Again, for FIVE perk points. Putting those points to Lifegiver or just Endurance gives more survivability The only time I'd consider this perk is if I went for some sort of no-armor or limited armor challenge. It's an F or at the most D tier perk. Refractor is even worse, easy F

Worth noting about Penetrator - it only affects hitscan weapons. Energy weapon damage will not penetrate walls. In addition, if you have a ballistic weapon with the Explosive legendary effect, that will still go off on impact with walls, rending this perk less useful if you have the best legendary prefix in the game. So it's even less useful than the description would imply!

Hey, having played a build where the point was to get dummy high perception so I could get max VATS accuracy on headshots, the utility of VANS is that after you've maxed PER you can get two more points from another perk. It's very build dependent, and kind of overkill, obviously, but that's the goal.

Mysterious Stranger is a bugged, where he spawns and doesn't shoot. Doesn't happen all the time, but it can happen. That being said, it is still an awesome Perk to have, because he kills his target. Pretty decent when you are fighting some legendary enemy in Vats and Stranger just insta-pops that enemy. Bonus point: Nick Valentine always comments about the Mysterious Stranger when he appears. "There, is saw him again! The Mysterious Stranger!"

Toughness and reflector are not percentage-based. They're much more minimal and pathetic in their impact by adding points of resistance instead. They're really bad investments compared to just making better armor or better offensive perks. In fact, they become even worse the more you level up and enemies scale with you. Making those tiny increases more irrelevant as you play.

What Robotics expert is best for is making Sentry bot provisioners for settlements because they are tougher than most settlers are. But settlers can possibly be stronger if you max out armorer and gunsmith and give them fully upgraded armor/ballistic weave under layer and upgraded weapons with a ton of ammo. The Senty bot though doesn't need to be supplied with ammo like a settler.

I'd say Demolitions Expert is S tier, based solely on the fact that it actually boosts all forms of explosive damage, which includes weapons with already absurdly high damage output (Spray and Pray) When you consider how readily available extremely powerful explosives are, even in the early game with Frag Grenades and Bottlecap Mines, Explosives can pretty much trivialize any encounter and they only scale even further as you take points in appropriate Perks. The Commando/Rifleman/Heavy Gunner/Gunslinger perks *all stack* with Demolitions Expert if you are using a weapon with an explosive payload (Missile Launcher, Fat Man) or if the weapon has the Explosive Legendary Effect (Spray and Pray). This gives explosive weapons the highest potential damage output (that isn't Sneaking) in the game. In addition, Explosive weapons have a much easier time crippling limbs, which may completely remove a threat if it somehow manages to survive your initial attack. It's also very easy to stagger enemies with explosive damage as well. Additionally, explosive damage is tied to the weapon's damage, which means if you're using an Energy weapon, the explosive damage is also Energy, meaning it won't be mitigated by Ballistic Damage resistance. so if you're playing around enemy weaknesses, you don't have to worry about losing out on damage.

Toughness is not good, it gives only +50 DAMAGE resistance (Not Energy, or poison, or radiation) at 5 ranks. In a game where power armor can give you over a 1000 DR, and ballistic weave gives you 110, and standard armor gives you over 150 DR, and to cap it off DR has diminishing returns (+50 when you already have a 1000 is going to basically nothing) toughness is not worth it.
