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.

In short, because "Our fans like all this crafting/building shit? They must not like all the other 'complex' stuff. Lets dumb it all down some more so we can cash in on the crafting hype that's been going around since minecraft came out."

At first I really liked the grenade hotkey, but yeah. holy fucking shit, why in gods name would you make the bash AND the grenade hotkey the same button? I keep throwing molotovs at my feet while trying to fend off molerats.

Building? Sucks when you go to backtrack through the menu but your pointing at an object and it asks if you want to store it, OR you go to select an option and it grabs whatever you are looking at to move instead. It's functional overall, but as you said, "passable at best, fucking unbearable at worst."

For FPS, you can get some mods that fix that, but while installing mods is pretty much the same, getting them to work is a small hassle. older games had a "data files" option on the launcher. fallout 4 does not, you have to play fiddle-dee fuck and add all the ESP files you want to use to the games "DLC" text file.

Dialogue wheel can be "fixed" with mods too. the two most popular mods on the nexus are mods that get rid of the dialogue wheel and put out what you character will say when you take an option instead of a short paraphrase. Whats more important in the dialogue though, have you noticed that if you dont take certain options, they usually dont appear again? and that most non-merchant characters never talk to you after youve exhausted their dialogue track? Bethesda put so much time and effort into dialogue that they restricted the dialogue, if that makes any sense.

I never used the companion wheel, so I don't know. What I do know is that companions are dumb as fuck, and often walk/stand in front of me while im trying to loot.

There's a mod for bullet crafting as well, and now a trend is emerging. Notice how many good features or improvements have to be added in by modders? It's got good features on it's own, but a lot of the garbage, missing stuff, and bare bones features have to be patched up by modders.

The more I play it, the more I realize that I can barely see anything. I like how everything is overgrown and it gives me that kind of disused, abandoned feel that STALKER has. Goddamn though, I wish I could see more of it all at once. The field of view is tiny.
