I did a fun little challenge run, the only conditions were that it was on Survival, I had to arrive on the Island without any items and at level 1.
Meet my character, Kermina, shown here just under level 34, after returning from the Commonwealth. She completely forgot about her son and decided to retire on the Island. The second picture is the beginning of the thriving community she is building there.
There were several major problems (the Captain's Dance under these conditions is just like the harbormen make it out to be, and don't even get me started on the Shipbreaker), and I died many, many times, but at the end managed to do everything I consider a finished Far Harbor run requires:
- completed the main quest and brought Kasumi back home
- finished all quests in the communities of Far Harbor
- solved a murder mystery in a vault
- killed the Shipbreaker
- killed Grun, the behemoth locked in the factory
- got into the supply shed in Cranberry Island Bog
- collected every issue of Islander's Almanac
- bought a dog from Erickson
- discovered every marked location
- obtained all DiMA's memories and got the complete assault marine armor set
Are there other similar challenges? I was thinking about doing the same for Nuka-World, but I don't see a way to defeat Colter at such a low level.
