Bethesda announced on Twitter this morning that it will hold a press conference at E3 for the second year in a row. No information is known, other than the date and time, so no word or speculation yet about what games will be shown or discussed.

What games would you like to see and hear about from Bethesda at their E3 2016 press conference? New Elder Scrolls announcement? Fallout 4 DLC? Perhaps another Fallout spinoff? What about that Dishonored 2 game?

With all of the settlement building I have partaken in, I have learned that rotted tree stumps have just as much wood as full grown trees.

I have a similar type architecture for Hangman's Alley. I simply built up one-room-thick towers along the sides of the buildings, with everything above the ground floor.

It was kind of a pain in the ass to accommodate 18 people into that small area, but it was fun to design.

Nick Valentine - Fallout 4

I'm looking for a monitor to use with my laptop, and I don't want to break the bank on it, since it won't be used for for any high-end gamng. As far as size goes, I'm want one that is in the 21-24" range.

I know Dell makes great monitors, but I don't know much about other companies. Thanks!

I'm playing on PS4, so I'm not going to see mods anytime soon, but here are my initial wants from mods for settlements, when they finally come to PS4:

• Electricity Streamlined - I understand having the need for wires to connect between individual buildings, but once you attach a conduit to a building and wire it to a generator/pylon, it should power everything in the building.
• Neon signs/lights - Whenever I go to Diamond City, I just think about how I want to make cool neon lights for my settlement(s).
• More lightbox controls - the light squares are cool, but take too much power and you have no control over them outside of assigning color. Also, I want to be able to control individual lights from the same terminal: make each light a different color, etc.
• Locking furniture placements - I like some flexibiity, but with my OCD, I get frustrated when I can perfectly align furniture parallel/corner to walls/buildings.

I have been focusing solely on Sanctuary, as far as settlements goes. My most recent projects are developing the "greeting area" in front of the bridge, and a town hall in the center of the cul-de-sac.

Right now, I have been experiencing some framerate and loading issues around my Sanctuary settlement, but that may be because it is pretty big so far and I have used the stored weapons glitch to free up settlement size.
