Follow the Freedom Trail.

[–]ggabriele3[S] 87ポイント88ポイント  (34子コメント)

We did! The North Church was a cool stop...but not quite the same as the game.

[–]QizilbashWoman 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

I used to work in the building next to Old South Meetinghouse, there was a wild turkey (the annoyingly dangerous kind, not the dumb fat kind) that liked its roof and it's an endangered animal so animal control could do nothing. We used to watch it leap from the roof into a group of tourists and attack.

Urban turkeys are notorious in Boston. Nasty fuckers, they attack for fun

[–]kimothyjongun [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Urban turkey by itself sounds terrifying.

[–]MollieMilieux [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Lived north of Boston, had a turkey just waltz into my house and chase my cat once.

On a side note, now I wish they'd added rad turkeys. What a wasted opportunity Bethesda.

Most of it is. I took a trip to Boston last summer (coincidentally, but it fueled the hype to insane levels). We walked the freedom trail, and seeing it in the game was so rad.

Edit: Thanks to all the people answering other's questions, I was only in Boston for 2 days and know very little about it.

[–]Bromy2004 13ポイント14ポイント  (10子コメント)

I'm on the other side of the world (Australia) with no chance to see it.
What's missing? Just a couple of stops?
Obviously there isn't going to be a pile of rubble with some feral dogs. Right?

[–]SUTHbeats 27ポイント28ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's literally a 2.5 mile long path (red line on the sidewalk) through downtown Boston that passes 16 locations significant to United States history. It starts in Boston Common and ends at the Bunker Hill Monument.

Of course not. It's Boston, not Baltimore... sheesh. /s

[–]ragingprostate 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

I think you meant Detroit, not Baltimore.

[–]Cricket_Vee 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

Well being from Maryland, Baltimore is our slightly less tragic version of Detroit. So I prefer that as my example.

Baltimore got the better tv show. Omar is the shit.

The Freedom Trail IRL actually continues past Old North Church across the Charles to the USS Constitution and Bunker Hill. Some of the Boston stops aren't marked in-game, I think, though the only ones it actually skips outright is Paul Revere's House and Copp's Hill Burying Ground (which is the stop right after Old North Church). Copp's Hill Burying Ground actually is in the game, though.

[–]Native_Irish 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Paul Revere's house is in the game and is part of the Freedom Trail. I've been there and can confirm. Just google "Fallout 4 Paul Revere house" for proof.

[–]tobascodagama 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh, whoops. I guess I just forgot about it, since I didn't stop there for long.

[–]QizilbashWoman 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

You can walk it electronically, I think. It shows you the street views and the buildings and you can visit each place.

Old North Church is fucking amazing, they totally didn't highlight the outside at all, which is creepy as Southern Gothic.

[–]NightmarePulseBrotherhood Outcast 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

I like just out of Boston and I went to school in Boston up until about a year ago. I like to think I am playing Fallout 4 24/7.

Oddly, Quincy in the game is more civilized than real-life.

And my wife, who uses VANS, is getting very tired of my "TAKE THE GREEN LINE" joke.

Yeah, there are some odd differences in the game. Haha. I can understand the impulse to use it, though. =P

No pun intended?

[–]fortknox 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

I did the same thing with Fallout 3. Went to DC on a trip with friends and ended up being the tour guide. They asked me how many times I've made the walk around the monuments and stuff... "In real life or in Fallout 3? Because this is my first time in real life...."

[–]NightmarePulseBrotherhood Outcast 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

Indeed it is, I like walking on the red line and then running into people because I'm a dunce. I used to work in the state house, but I was disappointed to see its ruined interior. I wanted nostalgia and what I got was mirelurks.

FWIW The Old North Church had some pretty big importance during the Revolutionary War. That's where the whole "one if by land, two if by sea" thing started. I'm pretty sure that's not actually how it went down and it's a little romanticized, but definitely a big deal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_North_Church?oldformat=true

Funny trivia: Preston references that if you bring him there. Just happened to do that today.

Yep. My wife and I are basically doing a FO4 walking tour

[–]SeryaphFR 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

If you're still there, Mt. Auburn is a mindblowingly beautiful and peaceful place. Definitely worth the visit.

Also, the Sam Adams brewery in Jamaica Plains is bad freaking ass.

Aside from that, I loved going to the Long Pier as well as visiting the college campuses. Harvard and MIT are just down the river from each other, and both are fascinating to visit.

[–]ggabriele3[S] 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Coincidently when fallout 4 came out I wanted to see some landmarks I saw on my trip to Boston. This lead me to find Old North Church, forcing the puzzle in the basement and stumbling upon the Railroad by complete accident. It was quite a surprise to me.

That wasn't George Clooney. I thought the same thing at first, but it's a guy named Peter Jessop. He could make a living doing Clooney impressions, though.

My husband looks like Grognak, but back when he had long black hair. Blonde one in F4 is not as menacing. More like the homoerotic He-Man from the 80s. Not sexy, disturbing actually.

[–]notevenlad 26ポイント27ポイント  (13子コメント)

I remember about 4-5 hours into the game on my first load I walked past the park and Dogmeat got in the water a took a swim. So I decided to jump in behind my companion... To my surprise, I got F U C K E D U P.

To this day I haven't gotten anywhere near that place.

[–]spaceflora 13ポイント14ポイント  (6子コメント)

Did you not read all the signs? I mean, someone went way out of their way to warn you about the swan. I typically do still go through the common, the edges are safe enough if Swan is underwater. Only once have I seen him not under the water when I came by...

[–]vertigo1083 16ポイント17ポイント  (4子コメント)

If you have a melee character, or fuck tons of ammo, he's stupidly easy to kill.

If you just get inside the shipping container on the outskirts of the pond and he can't hit you, but you can hack away at him little by little. It isn't the most glorifying way to win, but it's nice to have the power fists early on in the game.

Also, Swann's backstory is really cool.

[–]spaceflora 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I am not in it for the glory. Definitely remembering this one, thanks.

[–]Lampmonster1 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's a truck on the corner nearby that you can hide in as well. He'll walk away every time, and you just hop out and pick at him till he comes back, then hide again and repeat.

[–]IMLOwl 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Put down like 5 or 6 bottlecap mines before he spawns. Walk behind them. He will walk into them and die. Fight over.

[–]thecabeman 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I "glitch" killed him, kind of on accident. I was walking through and saw him, then started running around frantically looking for a place to go. There is a small wall about 3 feet tall, and I did the classic "run around the table so you'll never catch me" bit while unloading into his face. I've never actually seen him go in the water.

[–]e1337ninjaI have a glitchy pip-boy 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

A jet and a Fatman make quick work of him even if you're low level. I also found a spot where you can snipe him from the fallen sky bridge or whatever is called if you have a sniper and no Fatman.

[–]grayfox2713 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

Overseers guardian works well too. Just pop a psycho jet and one or 2 clips and he's done

Reba II + Silencer + upgrades, rifle/sandman perk = most things going down in 1-shot with headshot.

Problem is, I rarely get the chance to 1-shot things.

you can just hide in the shipping container thats right there where you find him and hack away at him til he dies.

Welcome to our crumbling city! If you have the time, please actually visit some of the fo4 areas like college square (Harvard Square, and the nearby squares like Central for that matter), the back bay areas like Boylston and Newbury Street, the North End (I don't think this is specifically included but you really can't afford to miss the food there), Bunker Hill etc. Boston is a great city, I hope you enjoy it here! Don't go in the Charles River.

Hey, the Charles isn't that bad these days. You can swim it and you probably won't even die.

Hey, its not crumbling. Well... its sort of is, but its beautiful. I wish the Christian Science stuff was in the game, that reflecting pool is beautiful. They did include the crazy cult in the theatre, so its kind of the same.

[–]Lurdia 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh I forgot about the reflecting pool!! Went there once on late night college shenanigans with my best friend, it was so beautiful even at night.

eta: also, don't get me wrong, I love our crumbling gray-ass city lol

We are actually staying in North End, on Cooper St. We swung by Harvard today, walked around Cambridge, and we are right now in a pub by Chinatown.

[–]Lurdia 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh fantastic! The North End is one of my fave neighborhoods (shameless Italian here). If you haven't ventured into Chinatown yet, please do. The touristy gift shops and tea houses are great. And if you go back towards Cambridge at any point, there's this restaurant called Annie Chung's in Central Square that I really recommend. :)

[–]spaceflora 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

To be fair, we are used to a Boston ruined by a nuclear attack, so it's bound to be in better shape than that.... right?

[–]Lurdia 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

You would think.

No but real talk Boston has some gorgeous places in it, both old and new. But it's one of the oldest major cities in America so a LOT of it is also really busted lmao. Especially the T.

Lynn looks pretty much the same as in-game though.

[–]spindoc 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

I took Swan down without a lot of difficulty on an earlier playthrough. Tried it again on Survival a few nights ago and did not have a good time. He crushed my head with a rock like it was a ripe melon.

There's so many indestructible barriers to hide behind. I cheesed him using some trees instead of the bus or container.

First time i went there, a Raider aggroed Swan somehow and the attack happened before I even knew what was going on... Next time I visited the area Swan scared the hell out of me because I didn't know he spawned there. :(

Man, you're just lucky the actual swans aren't nesting right now. DCR puts up fences every year when they show up. The fences aren't to protect the swans, they're to protect people.

Honestly I didn't realize this was in FO4 subreddit when I clicked and I had this eerie feeling looking at the photo like I'd be here before but couldn't place it, then I looked at the swan... and I thought "Wow this looks a lot like that place where.... oh I'm an idiot".

Not sure. I wen't with pistols and associated perks. I imagine it should be fine. It really was disappointingly quick. Watch out for Jamaica Plain and other ghoul places. Those suckers come fast and hit hard. Hubris comics was tense.

I lived in Cambridge and in Somerville a long time (the town of Somerville, not the settlement, is next to Cambridge and not marked separately on the in-game map). Be sure to hit up Central, Union, Inman Squares. And Harvard Square tip: good bookstores, don't go into the tourist shops. The Harvard Bookstore, not the Coop; [Schoenhof's Foreign Books](www.schoenhofs.com/) (largest language-learning and non-English bookseller in the US); Grolier's Poetry (tiny and amazing); The Raven (used books, super amazing). Don't buy books at the Coop.

If you really want Harvard nostalgia, get something with the tiniest "H" or "Harvard" on it from the Coop (yes, the place where you don't buy books); if you wear a giant red H t-shirt you're gonna look like a rube and if you shop elsewhere it'll be shoddy rip-off.

Isn't it weird to get a sense of déjà vu from a place you've never been before.

I went to Boston for PAX East, and as is my want, wandered around the city before and after the event to soak in the moment of visiting the US. There were so many moments, where I just suddenly stopped and looked around, taking in the scene of a place I know pretty well whilst never having been there before. Whilst a lot of the game is "smaller" than real life, it's still there in the architecture and specific buildings.
