Got this game today, will post more opinions later. Although I can say one thing, the radio stations are absolutely fantastic. I had to shut off diamond city radio cause it only plays about 5 songs and the bits with the dj were starting to repeat.

The Silver Shroud questline is by far the most fun I've had with the game so far. Talking like the Shroud for all possible dialogue options was hilarious since i'm playing a female character it sounded so funny

This is the first time in MONTHS I've been playing a game for five days straight and haven't advanced the main story at all. I miss that feeling. Too many expendable 'one week wonder' games coming out now-a-days. I got to Diamond City and one side quest led me to another and eventually I met some factions.

I can see how people spend so much time on this game. I spent more than an hour just clearing trees and rubbish in Sanctuary. I was clearing one room when Mama Murphy sat on a chair and I'm like "I'll scrap you if you don't get off your bloody arse."

anyone having success stopping a super mutant suicider before he explodes? Shoot him with a mini nuke and pray. Seriously though, no. So my mom was watching me play this a few days ago from the beginning, and she's a baby boomer so she knows of the nuclear scare as well as anyone could, and she bust out laughing at how the Shelter salesman reminded her so much of the Nuclear Shelter salesmen who went around in the 50's trying to sell people on buying into the shelter for when the bombs dropped, his script was almost identical to what one of the real ones said back in the day. Thought that was cool.

anyone having success stopping a super mutant suicider before he explodes? Yes! Use VATS to shoot their arm, the one holding the bomb. Typically when it hits 70% they're juuust out of range. If you miss after three 70% shots, you're ed. Try to aim at the arm whether in VATS or not though.

If you have a critical stored, use it because it's a guaranteed hit. The nuke will explode, they die. Just be far enough away that it won't kill you. EDIT: didn't see the post above saying the same thing. But like I mentioned, use a critical hit if you want to make sure

anyone having success stopping a super mutant suicider before he explodes? The first time he got me. But the second time I fought him dogmeat saved me by grabbing him and then the bomb exploded. Poor dogmeat. But a stim healed him up.

I refuse to get a companion because the sound of him whimpering would make me cry.

But it does make you get angry at the attackers. Like oh hell no you didn't attack my dog. Now I'm about to go all John Wick on you.

Awesome game. I'm Level 27 so far yet haven't done much of the main quest at all.
Piper isn't actually that useful but is one of my all time favourite Fallout companions regardless. Very well fleshed out & (minor spoilers in white, not related to main quest) the fact you can romance her is great IMO. She feels like a great fit for the Sole Survivor and I enjoyed building a relationship with her, especially in light of the unresolved Amata/Lone Wanderer love story.
In terms of other companions (spoilers for some companions in white) Danse is a beast. Valentine is a lot of fun to have around. Preston was decent but he always seemed to get in the way. Dogmeat is loveable but I wouldn't use him as my only companion; wish it was like F3 where it was Dogmeat + 1 other. Used Codsworth a bit and he's fun, but I just like having Piper around. Got Macready at Sanctuary Hills but haven't used him yet.
I also love the tiny details, like (spoilers for opening 20 minutes of the game in white) when I took Piper down to Vault 111 to pick up the Cryolator and on the way looked at my wife's pod. She commented on it, saying "Oh my God - is that who I think it is? Are you ok?" Was really nice that she reacted to that even though it wasn't a scripted scene or even a quest.
Anyone faced a Mirelurk Queen yet? Definitely the hardest enemy I've faced so far. I used a lot of grenades and a lot of patience to win that fight.
I also owe my GF big time, as she's sat patiently watching me play this for God knows how many hours already.
