Fallout 4: 10 Things We Learned in 10 Days

Loot, Loot, Loot

Loot everything you come across. Leave nothing behind. 

Do I want that clipboard? Yep. How about that tin can? Absolutely. Ooo, and how about that spoon? You betcha. 

You can use everything and anything in Fallout 4. Junk, as it's called, is used to upgrade your settlements, weapons, armor, power armor, and your supplies via the Chemistry Stations and Cooking Stations. I pick up everything I see and I rarely sell. I scrap. 

You simply never know when you might want to upgrade a piece of armor or a weapon and it's nice to have a surplus of items sitting around so that you, again, don't waste time going out looking for stuff that you could've acquired hours before.
