I think i might be stuck and don't know how to proceed

What am i doing wrong?

Umm. Either you're on the wrong forum or you're asking about how to play a game that hasn't officially come out yet on the developer's forum. So that: that's what you're doing wrong.

I pre-ordered, paid in full and got it early.

I am playing it.

I am asking advice from those who are playing it as well.

I properly spoilered my text and i am not giving anything away.

there is a spoiler forum now and that is where you should be

Where would that be? There is no spoiler forum under the Fallout section. Under the Fallout 4 subsection there is only "General Discussion".
