I just got this game and it is the most engrossing thing I have ever played, I cannot adequately described how satisfied I am with this depth of exploration: I am a man who has been thirsty since birth and has drank of water for the first time in his
life.
[spoiler]I am only up to first entering the Citadel after Dad dies and have not spoiler'd myself so be gentle.[/spoiler]
I am an explor-a-holic and an alt-a-holic, so I'm up to two proper Good and Evil characters, remaking the Evil one because my stats were not properly twinked for my very first character!
Good guy is Kenshiro, natch. I got a power-fist from Rocksalt's shed(My luck started at 7 and I intensed it to ten because crits.) There is nothing as representative of a good cum shot as VATs slow-motioning my fatal crit punch on a super mutant: I do not punch his limbs off.
I punch his torso so hard that it flies off, leaving the chunks to hover a split-second before gravity kicks in.
Also when VATS lines your character up perfectly: i.e. kidney punching a Super-mutant into a railing that he flip-flops over, coming up behind a super mutant and hammer-crushing his spine and he screams in pain.
You CAN punch a lot of turrets to death if you are willing to jump-punch in FPS mode.
The evil character is SUPER SNEAKY + SHOOTS ALL GUNS now, because I realized that after level ten or so you can easily max the skills that matter(sneakina, lockpickan or whatever) and ignore the ones that don't(Barter is useless, hahaha.)
Remember, explor-a-holic. I can have 2k caps before I breach DC or the more dangerous parts of town. It's also nice to get hunted by Talon Mercs who are carrying valuable valuable laser rifles!
My evil sharpshooter has 1 str, after I realized the only difference between 1 and 10 str is 90 weight. And ammo/plot-items/good medicine is weightless. So.. wow! Kinda dumb! But she has like 9 Agi/Luck/Int and 7 Perception, so
Kenshiro is having some difficulties at the moment: He's level 12, and apparently at least 50% of his wild-life spawns are PAIRS OF FUCKING YOAI-GAIS. Kenshiro is hard-core enough to punch a mutant bear so hard it explodes, but two is fucking insane: stim-binging + drug-binging. He's been addicted like seven times already.
Is this intentional? I was also exploring the world at the time, extensively(forgot where [spoiler]Tranquility Lane[/spoiler] is.)
Also I have ignored sneaking entirely. Use mentats + buffout and pretend your shirt was just blown off!
Also the best part of using the power-fist is tapping left-click as fast as you can and screaming AAATATATATATA and then holding it down so that you can WOH-TAH and then when they're at the last 1/3 of your health you vat so you can punch twice and KRAKERETSU KEEEEN
I'd hit Moira like the fist of a wandering hero in an apocalyptic wasteland.
