If he sees what you're up to he will kill you. Once the quest is active, head outside to the outer walkways and go to the far end so you're as far as possible from the Brotherhood Knight on patrol near the door.Sod that, you're going to kill this person instead. You're asked to protect an ally of the Brotherhood.Equip a long-range, high-powered sniper rifle with a scope.Agree to help him and he'll ask you to do the Learning Curve quest, which you can farm repeatedly like so: It's here you'll meet Proctor Quinlan on the main deck. Go with him to the Prydwen where you'll be introduced to all the Brotherhood members. Once you join the Brotherhood of Steel and progress to a certain point in the game (SPOILER: killing Kellogg), you'll be called upon by Brother Danse. When you're completing big quests at higher levels you'll be rewarded with much more XP - this is why you should save up 5 or more Skill Points and jump your Intelligence up in one go. The more Intelligent you are, the more XP you're awarded. You get a bonus XP multiplier for each Intelligence rank you unlock, a percentage-based bonus on top of whatever XP you normally earn. It's not an exciting way to start the game - we all want some of the cooler Perks - but the reality is they'll come sooner if you boost your base Intelligence stat. So it makes sense to unlock Intelligence ranks once you're done milking the Idiot Savant stat. It's not immediately obvious, but the more intelligent your character, the more XP you will earn. Mid to late game, it's all in the Intelligence stat Set aside a couple of hours and string them together one after another and you'll fly up a fair few levels. The same can be said for Preston's Minute Men quests. These quests are easy, and you'll be rewarded with XP for kills, finding new locations and completing the tasks.
One sends you to new locations to kill, the other to scout, and these overlap. If you join the Brotherhood of Steel early on you can accept quests from Scribe Haylen and Knight Rhys. There are a bunch of side quests that are ongoing and repeat whenever you accept them. You can compensate in some areas by using the right companion - Valentine will do hacking on your behalf, for example.
That's fine so long as you know this will be a weaker area for you. The downside here is that without a decent Intelligence stat you'll miss out on Perks such as Gun Nut, Hacker and Science. Because you can't be an idiot all your life. Consider if you really need that new Perk, or whether you want to save them to boost Intelligence later on. What you should also be doing is saving up those Skill Points awarded for every level you unlock. With this Perk it's also worth noting that the lower your Intelligence is, the more chance you have of receiving the XP bonus. If you're not awarded the 3x or 5x bonus, just reload the game and repeat the process until you do. Once you've Quick Saved, approach the quest giver to complete the quest. While it's not crucial for small actions that reward XP such as killing average enemies and picking locks, when it comes to the XP awarded for completing quests, you should always Quick Save just before reporting your completion to the quest giver. As this is a Luck Perk it's random as to whether you receive it or not. It's a Luck Perk that awards you 3x and 5x XP for any actions. The Idiot Savant Perk is great for early levelling. Now apply that same mentality to the way you approach the game. Get into the right mindset: unlock every suitcase and safe - even if there's nothing handy inside you get the XP for the action. To get the most XP you need to work the system a little to maximise your rewards. All major actions earn you XP killing enemies, unlocking doors, discovering new locations, crafting gear, helping out with side missions and of course completing the main quests. Follow this advice to work the XP system and level up quickly.įallout 4 is an RPG at heart, which means your character and progression through the game is tied to experience points. You won't get far standing around punching radroaches all day.
