I just completed the quest yesterday and earned the sniper rifle Reba II as my reward.
Fallout 4
37 of 53
I am a bit cross because I could have done so much more. I founf the railroad early and did the main quest ignoring the +Minutemen and BoS, found the cat people they were cool but no quests finished the game and now the Minutemen are giving me boring there's a settlement that needs your help.
If I start again and follow the minutemen is it still all the same bullshit of theres a settlement that needs help, find the kidnapped wife/daughter/son. I can't be doing with the whole building a settlement bollocks.

The Minutemen ques-line "ends" with them moving back into The Castle and installing artillery cannons there.
Alas, everything that leads up to that IS a "go somewhere and kill stuff" mission and, once you've done them all you sporadically get "come here and kill stuff for us" missions from all the places you've helped as well.
Completing it DOES grant you the Special construction item of an artillery cannon though.
They only have a limited range but if you create a network of settlements all over the map and build an artillery cannon at all of them you can call-in artillery strikes pretty-much everywhere on the map, which can be fun.
It's just a case of sneaking in the front door of an enemy area, lobbing an artillery flare and then running away again as fast as you can, before the fireworks start!
I always have one lazy so and so settler who no matter what I assign them to they won't do it. All they do is drink at the bar.

I can't remember where I saw it but there are plenty of videos on Youtube explaining how you can (if you really want to) renovate all the original houses.
Basically, it's a case of using a "exploit" in the construction options.
You can build a "wooden floor with foundation" right next to an existing house and then add doors, walls and even a new roof and then, when you're happy with the result, you can scrap all the new bits of floor you've added and just leave the walls, doors, ceilings and roof.
As far as the game is concerned they'll just be "floating in mid air" but to all intents and purposes they'll look like part of a pre-existing building.
It's a huge faff and there's no easy way to do it but it IS possible to renovate the original houses if you're really determined to.
Of course, there's no real need to.”

To be more pedantic. That's not actually fixing the existing houses.

They really can be annoying. Sometimes it takes a while for them to accept the job. You'll go away and get a pop-up saying 'this resource now assigned'.
The worst are the ones you assign to shops and decide they don't want to be behind their stand all day and disappear. I started giving these assignment to named NPCs so I could keep better track of who were traders. (of course there's only a limited amount of named settlers so it gets a bit tricky with more than a couple of settlements)

My starting stats -
S 3 - For Armourer perk
P 4 - For Rifleman & Locksmith perks
E 3 - Toughness & Life Giver perks
C 6 - For Cap Collector, Lone Wanderer & Local Leader perks
I 6 - For Gun Nut, Science & Hacker perks
A 3 - For Gunslinger & Sneak perks
L 2- Just because
I could have lived with just 1 in Luck. In later levels I've added to LUCK and took Idiot Savant but with me now having max INT it doesn't pop all that often. But I find the perks there a bit useless. Maybe in early game Scrounger and Fortune Finder are worth it but I've never had a problem making caps or finding ammo. And Bloody Mess gives extra damage bonus but not really needed.

Understand that you can pick ANY perk on the chart when you level-up (except for the ones that are invisible), that you don't have to work your way down the chart in order AND that the chart scrolls downwards too.
Get rid of the horrid green light from your Pit-Boy.
Go into the options, scroll down the list and you'll find 3 sliders (red, green and blue intensity) that control the colour of your HUD and 3 more that control your Pit-Boy.
Set all the Pit-Boy sliders about 2/3rds of the way up and you'll get a nice white light when you use your Pit-Boy as a torch.
If you set them ALL the way up you'll get a brighter light but it'll create a lot of glare.
You can also twiddle with the HUD colours in a similar way if you want to.
The game doesn't offer much in the way of tutorials for construction.
Have a bit of a play with it but if you get confused, feel free to have a look for advice on the internet or ask here.
Read what all the perks do.
It's hard to be more specific without trying to tell you how to play (I might tell you to max-out all the sniper perks when you want to play as a ninja warrior) but read through ALL the perk descriptions to get an idea of what they do and how useful they might be.
For example, the AquaBoy perk stops you taking radiation damage in water and that's well worth getting as soon as possible.
You'll be forced to make use of pipe weapons and raider armor or leather armor at first (because it's all that's around) but don't waste too much effort upgrading any of it because it's all junk.
Feel free to have a bit of a play, just to become familiar with how crafting works, but don't go to a lot of effort to fully upgrade a pipe-rifle because it'll stick be useless compared to the first proper gun you find.
Use supply routes to link up your settlements.
You'll probably start off at a settlement somewhere up in the Northwest corner of the map and it'll have a workbench.
You store all your junk in the workbench and then the junk will automatically be used when you're crafting upgrades for guns and armour.
But here's the important part: If you create a network of supply route between all settlements then all your junk will automatically become available in EVERY workbench on the map.
Which means that when the people of Jamaica Plains are moaning because they've got no beds or defences, you'll automatically have access to scrap that you stored in Sanctuary Hills to build it for them.

Oh, I realise that.
Judging from what I've seen on the internet, though, there are people who've become completely obsessed with "renovating" houses in this manner so I thought I'd mention it in case the person who asked is so inclined.
Personally, I take the view that it's SUPPOSED to be a post-apocalyptic scenario so people are supposed to be sleeping in buildings with half a roof and 2 walls missing.
I saw one video where a guy was lecturing about how you can lay 2 or 3 "layers" of roof over the top of each other in order to create a roof with absolutely no holes in it.
Life's too short for that, and resources are certainly too scarce!

Thanks for your help. I was wondering why my feeble attempts at building some new shelters didn't have fully closed walls. I don't feel so bad now. This is my first Fallout game and though I am in the VERY early stages of it, I am enjoying playing the game alot
How do I get Hancock as a follower?
I've maxed relations with the others and got their perks so am looking for a new follower. I recently met Deacon so could try him but from reading other posts it seems I should be able to have Hancock.
Have I missed a quest? I did all the Good Neighbour ones I could find
I have not done much of the main quest, in fact only just met Virgil in the Glowing Sea, so is it that need to be further along?

I don't have him yet either but have you done "The Big Dig"? I think that's when you get him, I'm half way through it. You need to find Bobbi No-Nose to start it (in Goodneighbour).

Yep.
Bobbi-no-nose lives at the end of the alleyway behind the gun shop in Goodneighbor if I recall correctly.
Make contact with her and follow things along (for quite a while) and you'll end up with Hancock as a Follower.
Anybody else met up with the fake Preston Garvey?
I was walking along the a road when I noticed the distinctive red flickering of a Laser Musket, met up with the guy and he introduced himself as Preston Garvey and then, when challenged ran away.
I tried to follow him but, alas, the appearance of a couple of radscorpions gave him the opportunity to get away.
I was hoping that reporting back to the real Garvey might trigger some unique dialogue and, perhaps, a quest but there doesn't seem to be anything.
I wonder if it's supposed to be a Garvey synth' or whether it's just somebody walting as a Minuteman?
I ran into him near the Uni ruins. Killed him instantly. Same as I do if I ever run into any of the Art clones, regardless of whether they turn out to have Synth components on them or not.

Oh, one other thing which is really, really important: quick-save a LOT.
Even if you're half way through a firefight, if you get a chance to hide in a corner and use a stimpack, do a quick-save at the same time.
As a rule I tend to think it's "cheating" to use quick-saves to keep your progress in a fight but in F4 you get a LOT of unique and randomly-generated things happening and if you haven't quick-saved then you might end up re-doing the same thing only to find that the unique or random thing DOESN'T happen this time around and you'll miss out on something.
For example, I arrived in Diamond City and there was a bit of an altercation going on and meanwhile I overheard a couple of random NPCs having a conversation and it started a quest.
Unfortunately, I got in the way of the argument, made the city guards hostile and ended up having to reload a save-game and this time around the conversation between the 2 NPCs DIDN'T happen so the quest didn't start.
I'm pretty sure that everything repeats so you'll always get another chance at things but it's a bit frustrating to KNOW you had a chance to do something but then it was wiped away when you had to reload a previous save-game.

Thanks, I have got that quest but not started it so will do so pronto
Here's a funny thing....
One of my most memorable experiences in playing F4 was my battle with th Mirelurk Queen in The Castle.
As I said at the time, I was around level 12 when I did it (I'd simply followed Minuteman quests when I started playing) and it was an absolute nightmare.
And it was terrific fun too!
Having completed the story I'm just "mopping up" now and I've stumbled across several Mirelurk Queens in the last couple of days and I've killed them with absolutely no problems at all.
In one case a Mirelurk Queen just appeared out of the water in front of me and a single burst from Elder Maxson's laser Gatling stopped it in it's tracks.
I'm just wondering if this difference is purely down to me being at a higher level or whether the game has some kind of "modifier" built into it in order to make certain "showcase" enemies more difficult to beat?
Similar things have happened during my encounters with other baddies too.
The first fight I had with a Courser was pretty epic but subsequent Coursers could be killed by a couple of head-shots.
The first fight I had with an Assaultron was hard but, again, subsequent Assaultrons could be killed by a few well-placed shotgun blasts.
Sarge was pretty tough to kill but subsequent Sentry Bots went down easily - although this might have been due to Sarge deliberately having better stat's.
In the case of the Courser, I encountered my 2nd one only a few minutes after the first one so I hadn't leveled-up at all.
It just seemed as though the first one was much harder to kill.
I was just wondering if the game "artificially" inflates the stat's of some baddies the first time you meet one to make the fight more epic or whether, perhaps, it's just that some of the baddies are higher-ranking and they happen to be the ones I met first?

Interesting thoughts.
I thought they might scale with you a la Borderlands so the top-end enemies were always a bit tougher to beat. But even the Legendary Albino creatures are flimsy. Ran straight up to a Behemoth the other day and blasted him 3 times with my shotgun. The last Courser encounter I had I only used my 10mm pistol on him and only lost 1/10 health.
One of the toughest recent encounters was with a Colonel Gutsy that ripped me up with whatever weapon it had. Some ballistic, rapid-firing thing. Took a lot of health.
New enemy types need to be added in the DLC packs. Like the Swamp Folk from F3's Point Lookout DLC.
Rogue bands of Enclave remnants.
Synth Deathclaws anyone?
I've tried so hard to get into this but for some reason, it's not clicking with me at all. I loved Fallout 3 & New Vegas but I'm finding this really dull & I have no desire to progress any further in the story.
I think some enemies have a certain level range. Random ones may end up much higher or lower than you. Set piece/ quest enemies may have their level predetermined. I'm doing random Courser Synth kill missions for P.A.M and I see that their level varies from 15-44. The one I killed as part of a main quest chain I think was level 45. (I was a lot lower level then) so sometimes you end up with a big mis-match between you and the enemy.
As a side note, I've lost my dog. I tend to park all my companions in Starlight Drive-In and swap them around there. In the main quest there is a section where you need Dogmeat for tracking. After that bit he wandered off and I've no idea where.

Sorry to hear that,. Try not following the main quest, do the quirkier quests. There are loads to find. Have a look on YouTube.
I have barely touched the story and I'm level 50 now and still loving it

Thanks. I'll have a try when I next get back on.
What's the deal with factions? I am a bit unconventional as I don't want to play with a companion, and I'm not interested in building settlements, and I don't like the power armour, so I'm aware I'm missing out on a lot of the game. I've also been avoiding factions because they sound limiting. For example, I have two quests that say to talk to Paladin Danse, and when I do he wants me to sign up with him and follow his orders. I've been refusing because it sounds a bit final. Is it as bad as I think? If I agree, will that prevent me joining other factions later?
I've been playing for about 30 hours and am currently about level 18. I'm not sure exactly because I've not played for a while. I was pretty happy doing the The Constitution quest, and then headed up to the Museum of Witchcraft and found everyone else seemed to be level 40 or more, and I felt way under-powered. I think I need to return to a more central area and then find another project.

I don't believe so. I'm with the Minutemen and the BoS and things have been hunky-dory so far. Although I have a quest that could potentially conflict between the 2, but I don't think there will be any real problem. I killed every NPC/settler at one of the locations after they turned on me for not defending them and there was absolutely no repercussions whatsoever. In fact I built a broadcast tower and started sending companions to the location to re-populate it.
Thankfully I already did the quests at that location so nothing of value was lost.
