I'm only about 17 hours in so far and only messed with Sanctuary. Just unlocked the settlement next to the dam with the hippie robot, but haven't touched it. I checked the wiki for the available settlements, but they didn't really offer much in terms of a pro/con list. It just gave a brief description of each one. I'm just curious if any users here have more opinions on the subject. Like, which one is your favorite? Which one has the best location? Which one has the best build areas? Any other note-worthy things?
Part of why I'm asking here right now is because I'm looking to build my own skyscraper as a settlement. Each floor will have it's own function(housing floor, food floor, bar floor, shop floor, etc). I'm ready to start building, but I don't want it at Sanctuary due to the small size and that a skyscraper won't exactly blend in too well so I'm looking for a better settlement to build it where it'll "blend" better. Anyone got any suggestions on where I should build it?
So far I'm loving the settlement building. I'm thinking I'm going to go a different theme for each settlement, but I'm unsure what would be most fitting for each.
