Struggling on fallout 4. Low level - walk about for a bit, die, repeat, give up. All the quests seem impossible.
pick a settlement, scrap every thing in it. build a base (protip: start with the concrete foundations in the wood > floors section. you'll level a few times doing that if you are super low level still. spend the perks on some toughness/endurance type stuff to make you more robust then explore the top 1/4 left only of the map where things arent quite as murder death kill.
oh and if you want to survive in the wasteland you walk everywhere at a crouch turning in a 180 degree arc hitting the vats button every few seconds to warn of upcoming danger.
Everything you pick up, will be useful, unlike Fallout 3/NV (what can you do with clipboard??), then transfer all the junk (excluding pre-war money) into the workshop.
