Acknowledgments
David S. J. Hodgson
Trilby hats off, and a Gwinnett Stout raised to the Fallout 4 team at Bethesda for their steadfast support and aid during the creation of this guide. Thanks also to the Documentation Department at Vault-Tec, for use of the SimTek 5000. A firm handshake and spot of backslapping to the best co-author in the business; thank you Nick. Thanks to Chris, Shaida, Tracy, Dan, Tim, Mike, and all at Prima for their patience and help during my extended trip to Boston. Thank you to my loving wife Melanie; Mum, Dad, and Ian; Loki; The Moon Wiring Club, Laibach, Kraftwerk, The Benningtons; and O for the Old Ones, known also as Elder Things, just a terrible, terrible spawn, who contacts humans only through possession, and simply just cannot be drawn.

Thanks to everyone at Bethesda for their support and patience. Thanks to all at Prima, with special thanks to Chris, Shaida, Dan, Mike, Tim, and Tracy. Big thanks to David for being a patient and reliable source of advice. Seriously, David—you’ve been awesome.
Of course, I thank every member of my family (whether bound by blood or by choice). Too many names to list, but the folks, siblings, in-laws, little ones, and super-best friends mean everything. Extra-special thanks to Kurt and Damien for putting up with my nonsense and providing a bit of their own. Nonsense is important.
