One of my quirks while playing is after clearing out an area I have to remove the head from every raider/super mutant/animal within the area with my super sledge. I also usually position my dead victims on chairs and beds and such, finally, I like to disperse the blood around the walls and floors to make it properly dressed. What are your quirks?

You got some weird quirks. I hope I don't run into you in one of Boston's dark alleys! hahahaha

I just noticed yesterday that I have to collect all Subway Tokens.

I also collect and keep BoS Dog Tags or any Dog Tags that I find. I try to honor the fallen soldiers that way.

When I get a quest to clear out a location, it usually completes when you kill the "top dog". However, I can't just leave if I know that there are still enemies in that location. I have to search and destroy them all!

In prior Fallouts, there were NPCs who desperately wanted certain items, so I went about rounding them up. I'm hoping that the same will happen here, either through a quest I haven't yet run into or in a DLC. Thus, I'm holding on to:

~ Burnt books/textbooks/magazines/comics

~ Teddy Bears

~ Jangles

~ Subway Tokens

~ Nuka Colas (all varieties)

~ Dogtags

As far as behavioral quirks, I have a few:

~ All mannequins must be horizontal. My character is on a mission to topple them over whenever she finds them.

~ Just like poster Agrona above, an area is not CLEARED until I say it's clear.

~ I don't unlock locks with computers unless I have no other alternative. Why forego the lockpicking experience?

~ I'm currently working on a full billiards set. I have the cues, a few racks and most of the balls. Now I'm missing only the 11-ball (found the 7-ball last night!). I wish I could actually play once I complete the set.

Speaking of in-game games, I miss playing cards, as we could in New Vegas. I found room with pinball and skeeball machines -- wish we could actually play them. I also wish I could set up (and use) my own bowling alley or use the basketball and hoops. DLC perhaps?

It's too bad you can't collect the heads & place them in jars for your amusemant. Your house in game would look like a house of horrors

Defenestration.

Oh, one more I forgot: I shoot the heads off all those dad-blasted Cymbal Monkeys. In addition to them being an alarm, those things are just downright creepy

Amen to shooting the heads off the creepy monkeys and to clearing every last enemy.

I'm a junk hound, so I go around hoovering up everything that's not nailed down, with one notable exception. I can't stand picking up pre-packaged food like cram that's going to give me rads. I have to stop and drop it right away because I haven't found a way to destroy it and it doesn't seem to be scrap-able.

In a settlement with separate houses or cabins, like Sanctuary or Sunshine Tidings Co-op, when I move settlers into one of the houses I wire it up for electricity and light it up so you can tell somebody lives there. It makes it feel so much more homey.

Not so much a quirk as an OCD thing. I can't stand it when I kill a bunch of enemies and then can't find all the bodies to loot. I do eventually give up and leave the area, but I really hate it.

In a settlement like Sanctuary with pre-war furniture and junk, I have to clean up all the junk in an inhabited house, and I can't stand leaving things like broken chairs around, even though they are still functional. I'd rather waste the material to build a new one. I also have a thing about placing clutter, like bottles, plates, and cups on tables, Nuka-Cola in the fridge, board games on the coffee table.

I tend to leave a flower in a vase next to all the dead soldiers I find around the wasteland.


Most notable for me is the one leaning on the power armor right by the robot repair station north-east of sanctuary.

I pass by him alot so I left a few pot o flowers for him.

Nice.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a perk that would allow enemy corpses to be highlighted? Perhaps in VATS. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent scrounging through the underbrush looking for some feral ghoul corpse who ended up having only a hairbrush on them -- and they don't even have any hair!!!

With regard to cleaning up pre-existing structures, how do you get rid of clutter and crud? My character has settled back into her pre-war home and would love to sweep out the piles of dead leaves in the hallway or to knock the remaining shards of broken glass from the windows. There are mops, buckets and brooms all over the place. Would it hurt someone to pick them up and use them?

I can't stand a bare floor. I have carpets EVERYWHERE!

All my settlements and dwellings must have bathroom facilities and bathtubs. I have no idea how I would keep them clean, but, still.

I must cripple all opponents before killing them. If Dogmeat doesn't do it, I shoot their legs out. Works great on Behemoths, Deathclaws and Mirelurks, but, what's the point with people.

I would rather run naked up to a Legendary Deathclaw and spit in it's face than wear PA. Don't know why, but just can't stand the stuff.

I tend to decorate homes with Teddy Bears.

Especially the BIG ones (Red Racer Factory in FO3).

And Buttercup toys.

I collect them anyway and sell 'em to Carla or some other wasteland merchant who never knew a world without rad packed junk food.


I do wish you could fire it out of the junk jet though. Fire off a few Dandy Boys...


"How do you like THEM apples"

I collect every single Nuka-Cola I can find and then let Buddy make them Ice-Cold for me. Now I want some Coca Cola in real life.

Woah! Who makes them ice cold? Codsworth?

I'm scrupulous about holstering / slinging my weapon before entering a friendly settlement or lair.

I make sure to visit Dogmeat at least 3 times a week when he's not my active companion.

Raiders that do really bad stuff, like leaving torture victims on display, get shot in both legs.

does leaving clothes on dead bodies count as a quirk? If not, I got none.

A big one for me is cannibalism; I don't know why, but I HAVE to take the cannibal perks. But I'm pretty picky; I only eat male corpses that I find attractive (no, it's nothing sixual). Since traveling with Nick, though, I've curbed it to just eating named NPCs that fit the above criteria.


Other than that, I don't eat Mirelurk meat or drink Nuka; I hoard them (especially softshell mirelurk meat). They just feel like to special of food-stuffs to eat at whim. So I store them up for "special occasions" that never come.

I shoot the monkey heads too...not so much because they're creepy but more so because they've been both alarms and bombs before.

I always holster my weapon unless in a hostile area as it feels weird running around with it out.

I switch to 3rd person when wandering outside and 1st for combat (never fight in 3rd person).

I put on a gas mask with goggles when in rad storm or dealing with ghouls even though it doesn't offer much protection.

You both should look into your motives behind this as these aren't normal "quirks".

In FO3 I collected Nuka-Cola miniature trucks. I have yet to find a new hobby in FO4. Other than that I try my best not to eat radioactive food and drink fresh water only. Should I have too I'll favor "fresh" food over goods from before the bomb.

I carry my lucky 10mm around even though it's getting a bit outmatched. Beyond the legendary prefix attribute, its been so legitimately "lucky" I can't give it up.

Not sure if this counts as a quirk per se, but my character has carried her dead husband's wedding ring (I wish she could wear both rings or put his on a chain to wear as a necklace) and Shaun's "You're SPECIAL" book since the very beginning. They help keep her grounded and remembering why she's on this journey.

Buddy is his name. He's a robot with a brewery machine inside. He can make beer and turn most liquids into Ice-Cold versions of themselves. There's also some holotapes for him which increases the types of beer he can make. (He'll make 20 at a time. You gotta remove that 20 from his inventory before getting another 20). His usefulness is completely free. There's a quest about taking him to a place in Goodneighbor but if you kill the quest giver, you can fail the quest and then send Buddy to any settlement of your choice.

If that settlement has a working bar, he'll be in said bar. (He's a better bartender than my actual bartender since he stays there 24/7, while the bartender does his own thing and disappears at right about the time where everybody in the settlement comes to drink and hang out before going to bed). If that settlement doesn't, he just hang outs at the middle point of the place.

I have been working on my own private bowling lane, in the corridor behind the counter in my Red Rocket base. However, I fell victim to the dreaded "objects sinking through surfaces" and most of my bowling pins disappeared below the floor. Going to try again with the pick up and place in "grab" mode instead of workshop mode and see if that helps. As soon as I find some more bowling pins. Right now it is just one pin, one ball and a mirrorball on the ceiling. And another person in a different thread suggested using the junk jet to shoot the bowling balls, so I think it could be super-fun

I also miss some of the New Vegas diversions. I liked being able to go gamble and play some blackjack once in a while.

My character's quirk is that she's unpredictable in what she says. She randomises between all 4 possible dialogue options.

I tend to make sure to hear out for a raider or super mutant talking to themselves in a dungeon, and if I do, I just have to hunt them down and kill them.
