Game is amazing so far, 100% Bethesda. Bugs, performance issues and bad design decisions that all have to be fixed by modders? Yep. Fun as shit anyway? Damn Straight!
I went in completely without a plan, focused mostly on PER(4)/CHA(5)/INT (9). I don't know if it was random loot or by design, but I found a Laser Sniper in Concord. After I blew through the minigun ammo, I switched to that and my power armor. I have managed to acquire four fusion cores so far, and I took the perk that gives them more juice, plus I found the bobble head that gives them a longer duration as well. So I have been just trucking around as a future soldier in my Flame Painted T-45 Model B suit of power armor with a laser sniper rifle, delivering electromagnetic justice to the wastelands. Got my main man Codsworth following me around, slicing molerats and torching raiders, its a good life.
Question time: Is there anything to do with duplicate sets of power armor? I got a set of raider armor, and I found a random ass set of T-45 just sitting in a ditch. You can't scrap them for parts it seems (unless it is tied to a perk?). So they kind of seem to just be paper weights, or I could arm my townsfolk with power armor, which would be hilariously awesome. Also, anyone have the lowdown on all the good stuff in Lexington? I don't think I can possibly aspie-out enough to check every nook and crannie of that place and it is dense as fuck with locations.
Also I really like the new Feral Ghoul AI, they now act more like fast zombies, as opposed to brain dead NPCs who run in 100% straight lines like it is Doom 2.
