I am. Now that I have the basics down, I really want to get it right.

I won't ditch my girl permanently, but I really want to build settlements successfully and I keep using up all my resources on Sanctuary.

The great thing about FO:4 is that they did what has been done in other games, like Dragons Age. You can have separate characters now and each one gets it's own save tree.

I know some of what I'll do when I reroll for a second character but I'm nowhere near ready for that. I don't do a second character until I've done pretty much one full playthrough, maybe skipping the odd sidequest. I then do a second character to try different factions or take different paths with the story or whatever, and try different skills and stats. That's not gonna be for a long time yet for me...

The only thing that stopped me was finding a Chameleon chest piece at Level 6. It has been hands-down the most useful early find in any game I've ever played, so despite the massive hit my building mats took while I was learning how to build I've decided that I want the extra stealth more than I want to start over with a clean slate.

I've restarted 5x. Each with significant time before restarting so they werent just quick re-roll starts.

I'm on what i think will be my first 'main' playthrough. With what i learned, i'm set on what perk path to take, and i conserve wood more than copper and fiber optics.

I am using one reasonable mod, an ammo crafting mod, that to me seems part of what the vanilla game shoild have had so i dont even think of it as a real mod change. Its not tons of ammo, i use the lowest setting so only 10 bullets per craft, but the money i used to spend on ammo now goes into not selling and scrapping everything that turns into wood abd buying wood scrappable gear or shipments.
