Out of Time

Once you start the game, you'll be taken in the character creation screen. Once you're satisfied with your character's face, confirm your character so you can explore the house.

Interact with various objects until the Vault-Tec representative arrives at your doorstep. After going through some of the dialogues, you'll be able to modify your starting S.P.E.C.I.A.L attributes. You have 21 points to spend. After confirming your character name and SPECIAL stats, talk to Nora then play with the baby. Spin the spinner to continue with the dialogue and your wife will invite you to go to the park. Codsworth will call you over to see the news.

Leave the house and follow your wife as you make your way to the vault. Follow the People as they make their way to the vault entrance. Talk to the military officer to get in. Head to the vault platform and you'll be able to set down right in time of the nuclear detonation.

Inside the vault, go upstairs and get your vault suit from the Vault-Tec staff. Follow the doctor next then get inside the decontamination pod.

After the cutscene, interact with your wife's pod's control panel to the right. Interact with her to get your wedding ring. Head to the exit and open the hatch to the right. The room to the left contains more cryo pods but you can't do anything with them at the moment so just ignore them.Follow the path to the cryo chamber. You have to kill the giant roaches using your fist. There are some junk in the kitchen that you can loot as well. When ready, open the chamber and kill/avoid the roaches inside and make your way to the next door.

Continue to the next room. Take note of the locked container in the weapons chamber ahead since you'll come back for it later. Take the 10mm pistol and the ammo near that weapon container. There are also some stimpacks on the table and additional ammo and another pistol as well. Scour the entire area of lootable items then operate the overseer's terminal. You can check the other logs if you want. To continue, just select to open the evacuation tunnel.

Kill the roaches along the way then continue to the exit. Pick up the Pip-Boy from one of the corpses there. Operate the vault door controls and head to the lift. Before leaving, you'll have one final chance to modify your character. Once ready, select finish and leave the vault. Objective Complete.

Next, you need to go back to your home to find what's left. You'll find Codsworth outside your house so talk to it and ask what happened. After some conversation, Codsworth will suggest checking out the neighborhood. Explore the houses and take any valuable loot you'll find.

There's a workshop right across your house. Operate it and you'll be able to use it as your base of operations. Aside from being able to customize it, you can also scrap unnecessary items and get some materials in return. Basically, you can customize the whole town as necessary. Don't focus on this for now so just talk to Codsworth again to continue with the quest. Once done, he'll advise you to check out the city of Concord.

Follow the main road and you'll come across the Red Rocket Truck Stop. You should find Dogmeat there. Talk to the little guy to befriend him and get a faithful companion for life.

Continue to the city and defeat all raiders attacking the museum. Loot their bodies and the quest will be complete. There's also a Laser Musket from one of the fallen Minutemen in front of the museum. Don't forget to loot it as well.
