Oh I won't disagree that they tuned it weird...same thing for the enemies. Being defeated by an overleveled mud crab is......demeaning. and more generally I still recall putting my character in a corner, hitting q, and leaving for the day so she'd be a good runner when I got back....which is just downright dumb. But the concept at it's core is beautiful, and I wish more games would investigate that concept until we find a really good solution.

I forgot, there's one other super shit rpg thing that always pisses me off even though it's literally everywhere: why do I have to pick skills before I even start playing and understand the rules? SPECIAL, stat points, attributes...whatever a game wants to call it, I want to play first before I do all the math on what is the best skill to use.

Todd Howard better be on Lemmy. Would be the best thing to happen to fallout

if they get rid of the special picking at the start of the game the new vegas fanboy crowd will literally crucify todd howard
