Utterly Mad

I played a little more fallout 4, and got used to the voice over stuff, I can mod it out later (becuase there are mods available that do that on the nexus.) What I can't get over is the god awful quick select. It's faster and easier just to open the pipboy and use items from there, but god the interface is small. I like how the power armor/minigun feel though, it felt good. Not great, but good. The only real trouble I have now is that the game has a habit of crashing when a raid spawns in AND if the game decides to reset the defualt graphics card to the less powerful one, (which it does every now and then) my graphics driver will fail and the game will crash.

I'm actually taking a break from Fallout 4, not because its killing my freetime. I'd love to waste more of my life playing it, and having fun doing so. I've gotten used to a lot and started liking a lot of the new things... BUT THE FUCKING UI IS SO ANTI-KEYBOARD AND MOUSE ITS NOT FUCKING FUNNY! I still haven't gotten used to it, using the pipboy is a pain in my ass and using the phone isn't any better because I bring up the pipboy to pause the game while I fuck around with my inventory. I wish I could zoom out more or zoom in more since a lot of the locations are either really spread out or so fucking close to each other.

The building UI is passable at best, and fucking unbearable at worse. WHY DO SO MANY KEYS/BUTTONS CHANGE THEIR INTENTIONS, WHY DO SO MANY OF THEM SHARE THE SAME GODDAMN FUNCTIONS, AND WHOSE THE FUCKNUGGET THAT THOUGHT BASHING AND GRENADES SHOULD SHARE THE SAME BUTTON.

I never had a problem with it until my FPS started dropping in downtown Boston, I'd go to bash someone and fling a molotov at both of us, breaking all my limbs and the process and getting fucking rekt within two hits. Also why can't I have a separate key to rip a Fusion Core out of power armor... like 'X' or something, I hate going to loot something off my Power Armor and then hopping into it.

Also the dialogue wheel is fucking bullshit on PC, we don't have face buttons, we have the damn arrow keys. So when my dipshit of a virtual wife (Curie) decides to start wandering off into battle when I need my shotgun off her, its a pain because I'm wanting to talk while I'm getting shot at, stabbed, and my courser keeps "slowing down" when I hover over her.


WHY DID WE DO AWAY WITH THE COMPANION WHEEL!

Also why can't I make my own ammo, in a game that holds its crafting system on such a high pedestal, why isn't there an ammo bench where I can make explosive rounds, coin shot, or just regular ammo. New Vegas had its bullet crafting mechanic, it wasn't the easiest, but it could be ignored in favor of just buying more ammo. But I run a self sufficient settlement that can literally craft welding fuel out of nothing, so why can't I create some gun powder and lead in the chemistry station.


Dammit Bethesda, for every two steps forward you take a leap back.
