Nice! I'm glad this had an update I had to come check. It's lovely to see Fallout 4 through a fresh pair of eyes. It's definitely not the best Fallout game (New Vegas) but it's still a really good Fallout game!

I actually like Piper and I've romanced her a couple dozen times, she has an okay story so she's on the better scale of being an interesting companion. There are way more boring companions. Strong, I'm looking at you. I'm not sure if she does anything useful but she might make speech checks easier? I'm not really sure. But I usually take Lockpicking and Hacking myself anyway making the companions having it not really useful.

Nick Valentine the synth detective! So glad you picked up my favorite companion. How could you not love Nick Valentine? Best companion story by far. If you ever run across Curie she's also an amazing companion. Codsworth is okay but you pretty much know his story from the get go.

Diamond City is really fun area especially since there aren't many in the way of actual cities in Fallout 4 unfortunately. Check out Goodneighbor if you're ever in the area. That's where the dapper gang is based also.

Yes it's almost universally agreed that the radio guy is way better before the quest so most people don't even end up finishing it for that reason. He gets.. well he's no Three Dog. I usually only do the quest on 100% good runs because I feel like I can't get away with skipping it roleplay wise. Unless I decided my character was morally opposed to bar fights or something.

If you ever picked up the Automatron DLC i'd say get Robotics Expert, but getting your Science, Armor, and Gun Crafting perks up never hurts. Sounds like all the weapons you use fall under Rifleman so make sure that's always maxed when you can get it. Other than that I usually just pick out whats fun. It's not really optimal but once I got ghoulish all the way up and could run through radiation naked. That was a weird character.
