OMG 55 hours and got to the end?
No way I could ever do that. Not because I lack of some skill or something but because I don't want to rush the main story.

I'm also on 50ish hours but basically haven't even scratched the game, and have "only" 7 power armor… erm… skeletons.

Can only estimate % of uncovered map and I'd say it's 1/5 possible locations opened and explored, mostly the NW part and some spots on NW and map center.

As for factions I've found only two so far (minutemen which cannot be skipped and BoS).

Me neither. I think finishing that fast would absolutely ruin it for me. I like thorough exploration, completing quests as I come upon them, not rushing to the end(s). See that a fair amount in ESO, too. Roleplaying first, content consumption and "finishing" second.

Oddly enough, hasn't ruined it for me at all. I've found three different endings so far, and each time I find new quests while looking for a new avenue to explore. I've also found plenty of quests in buildings and such in the past two days, found some silly serum that gave me plus five str and a permanent durability boost, lol. Overpowered!

Fallout 4 review

I played a character for several levels that never went to You can still build Sanctuary just fine and most of the minutemen quests are doable and give faction rep without having ever met

The low thing is not a spoiler.
I don't think you can do Castle quest without him because he goes there when you start it (if he was a companion, you'll be left solo).

Faction rep? Where am I supposed to see that stat?

It's just my word for completing a faction quest. If you do quests for the minutemen, every single one ends with a happy looking soldier with a rifle on his shoulder. The BOS quests are another image, the Diamond City quests are another, etc. I assume this is the game's way of telling you who you just made happy….

I make everyone happy except that stupid vault 81 robot.
Almost whatever I say and whatever I do - it's disliked. For god's sakes. That way I'll never get her perk.
Ditched her and took Railroad sidekick instead.
