I have decided to take my time and walk through the game step by step without leaving a stone unturned. And for that purpose ofcourse i set the difficulty to survival, and expected to be smashed by radroaches on every corner

I didnt google much info about the perks and decided to go with my own tactic: chose perks which look good and will benefit my character the most.

So i started with:

str:3

per:7

end:3

cha:1

int:3

agi:7

lck:4

The moment i got control of my character i went stealthmode and started exploring the vault, picked everything i could and countinued to the surface. After some time of exploring, meeting the mole rats and some raiders i countinued without dieing. Some time later i met the first legendary and lol it was a rad roach.. i made few holes in the bug and looted an awesome legendary pipe pistol. faster attack rate and faster reload speed

Once i reached the town with minuteman Preston i had some ammo and was already geared in leather. So i killed the raiders and he told me he needs help, i decided to go and store my stuff before i start the quest, cuz i knew from the trailer there was supposed to be power armor involved. When i exited the building there were raiders so i slowly deal with them one by one keeping the distance and running away if they were trying to get close to me. then i started moving down the street and i saw a deathclaw chasing some raiders. and then it hit me where is the damn power armor? lol so here was my first reload. i read the quest again and went for the fusion core and power suite.

Once outside i basicly walked through the corpses untill the deathclaw appeared and smashed me to death, thats where i first died and realised even the power armor cant keep you alive in melee against a deathclaw, so i improvise and run inside and outside of the buildings where deathclaw couldnt reach me. Until eventually the deathclaw was killed and i literally had no ammo left.

So from this point on i keep goign slowly and scounting the areas before entering battle, if i see a camp from afar i pull the sniper rifle and start looking for enemies: counting them looking at what they wear and for possible traps i could set up.

right now im just level 15 and i gotta say i love this challenge, my character is a pretty bad ass guy that can own anyone one on one )

I wear 4 legendaries and have several more in stash.

As for the perks i can say that on survival i find very usefull stuff such as : medic, find more ammo perk, critical hits saving, action boy, bloody mess, critical banker, increased armor perk, gun modifications ofcourse, and either rifle man or commando, i went with commando first but now after i got the brotherhood of steel laser rifle i tend to switch to rifleman. and in the future plan on increasing my intelegence to get my hands on science perk and possible some perks that will help with the village building, cuz i did spent quite a lot of time building castles in my village ))

The toughest enemy so far was a death claw alfa "with skull" guess its a boss.

When fighting legendaries chemicals is a must , saving jets for one fight is a usual thing, i could through in 5 jets and 2-3 psychobuf just to take down 1 legendary guy.

Now in previous fallout series i always had LOADS of chemicals and stimpacks cuz everything was to easy, but in FO4 survival you gotta use everything you have

Some people complain game is to easy, some say its to hard, i say the game is the way you play it. If your stupid nothing will help.

But i just love this game )!
