Exploration: The first breath and where you will go

Home first, check the neighborhood for loot and supplies. It would only be logical for my PC to head there first. Then find a high point to scout from and head to whatever looks most promising.

I always check how much I can carry, then I hit every house, store, and building I see....LOOT TILL I CANT MOVE!

Savor it.

I've been anticipating Fallout 4 more than any other video game or piece of media in general, and I can't imagine anything ever matching it again. So I'm going to take my sweet time and do absolutely nothing as long as makes sense. Take in the scenery, inspect every minute detail, watch creatures or people move around. I'll get caught up in the shooting and the crafting in due time, but I really just want to be back in that world and enjoy it.

Once I'm sated for the moment, I plan on doing a pretty tight role-play as my character. I won't know everything about her until I actually start, so I can't say what she'll want to do first. Probably take a cue from Veronica and find a nice dress/something to explode, not necessarily in that order.

I'd bet money you can get to Hanscom. It's almost smack in the middle of Concord and Lexington, which are the locations just from the two gameplay previews. Maybe we'll find a vertibird!

My first breath wont exist because E3 preview killed it. I really wish they didn't show us exiting the vault. I'll probably stand there and be sad that I saw the Vault View before I even got to play the game the first time, then go and find some easy to pillage locations and get myself out of the vault suit!

Knowing myself, I'll do the following:

-> Walk all the way back to Howard/Nora's town and talk to Cogsworth. Enter the house.

-> See what things look like after 200+ years of not being kept clean (Really, Cogsworth? Really? You had 200 years...)

-> Clean up what I can.

-> Test to see if storage is safe by emptying out all the containers of their original supplies, putting new, worthless stuff in and leaving.

-> Recruiting Dogmeat.

-> Guess I'll head to whatever the map marker tells me to go.

In the demo, it shows the camera panning around the LS. Over his left shoulder are a range of hills/mountains. My first destination will be those mountains. Unless I get halfway there and the Deathclaw brood jumps out and tears me apart. :)

I'm going to try to experience the game as my character as often as I can. So after first getting out of the vault, my character is probably going to be overwhelmed beyond belief at his first look at what has become of his world. After trying to take some of it in and then recovering a bit, he'd probably slowly make his way back to his and his wife's house in a state of shock. He'll meet Codsworth, attempt to find out a few things while still not really being with it enough to carry on a conversation, and then explore what used to be home. Soon afterwards he'll probably explore the neighborhood to search for any signs of life.

After that, hard to say. The first type of character I want to build wouldn't get over the near annihilation of humanity for a long, long time. Overall, I expect to take things slowly at first until he comes to understand the nature of the wasteland and some of the different types of people in it.

I will most likely do a 360 scan and climb to the highest vantage in sight.

When I look at that opening shot of the wasteland, I can't help but think, "Cogsworth, Dogmeat, Bunker Hill, Boston." The first section of the game might not be as straight-forward as this; but in case it is, I'm going to go in the opposite direction of all this and see how that works out.
