I really dislike power armour in this. I hacked a terminal to open a huge set of double doors in a factory. All that was inside was an angry behemoth. That's cheeky. |

It's my favourite Fallout power armour because1) it consumes resource, so I'm not tempted to lazily wear it all the time 2) it makes my HUD funny and it makes my character enormous in cutscenes and it makes my voice funny [1], so I really feel it when I'm in it 3) it costs lots of energy to sprint, so I have to stomp around slowly instead, which is fitting as I'm basically a walking tank now 4) because of all the above, there's a sense of occasion when I put it on 5) I think, because of the above constraints, it's much more powerful than in the other games (just a hunch but I seem to be untouchable when I'm inside it) Or to put it another way: power armour in Fallout 4 feels like much more than a set of really big numbers on my character sheet. And I think that's ace. [1] I actually remove my power armour helmet when I'm talking to people! |

Whenever I'm wearing armour, I never wear the helmet. I very much feel you look a lot more like a donkey wearing the full armour suits. |

So's your face. Over the weekend I reached level 49. I have built multiple Emporiums in my base (Sanctuary) and started selling off the hojillion tons of random crap I have. I am sitting on 10k bottle caps and I've barely dented the stuff I have to sell. I guess I can stop scrounging and just buy shipments now. To that end, I've started to pivot my character to more of a solo stealth build -- plus I'm running out of interesting companions anyway. (I have the affinity for Piper, Deacon, MacReady, and Preston. I'm partway there with Danse and Curie. I also have Strong and Hancock but I don't care so much about them, although Hancock is quite funny.) I've taken Lone Wanderer I, will probably get II and Sneak soon. I have Gun Nut 4 so my guns are now fearsome: I have a Violent .50 cal sniper rifle with long range recon scope for very long range work, Overseer's Guardian with a reflex sight and a silencer for close up, and The Last Minute (silenced, short recon scope) for serious shit-hits-the-fan moments eg. Surprise Deathclaw. Silver Shadow was a great questline! In the main quest line, I've reached... ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! In the mean time, I went off and started Far Harbor, as I wasn't sure what to do. |

I really should play this some more. I sort of stopped and realised that a low INT build isn't as fun as I thought it might be. |

Due to half five wake up times, I've picked this up again and gotten as far as getting into, and out again, The Institute. I am trying to have a bit of an explore, too, and found a Very Angry Sentry Bit this morning, and a robot racetrack. The Robot Racetrack pleased me, as I remembered life still goes on (unless I poison sword it) if a little crazily. I am much enjoying it again and might buy DLC. |

Smashy McBash has been hittimg the books and is now level 36 with INT 5, as you need science to tie things to a baseball bat. Anyways, last night I had to ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view! After that GREAT VICTORY, i went exploring and one hit a load of Supermutants with my hammer. I think i am almost done with main quest now, then on to something else for a while until i play the DLC. |

It's a lot more focussed on combat this time around and like 99% of quests boil down to 'talk to someone, go to a place and kill the people they want killed, return to original person for reward'. So it's more streamlined in a way but it lacks in variety and I personally didn't feel anywhere near as compelled to spend time exploring the world as I did with previous games. |

I loved it. The base-building and manufacturing I thought was excellent, the story was okay (it's not like they're ever great) and the only real disappointment to me was the lack of weapon customisation like in New Vegas. |

There are some where they aren't technically needed but significantly improve the experience though - such as Star Trek. |

Feexed by the guy who refused to engage with the entire multiplayer component of Bloodborne. Mind you, I agree that if you’ve got the cash for VR it does provide unique experiences for games despite not being “necessary” (whatever that means in the context of entertainment) so those without VR can still enjoy the vanilla experience. |

I don't think it's in any way controversial to say that games that are designed to support custom controllers often usually benefit from use of those controllers. Equally there are VR games that aren't designed that way. |
