Mm, that's definitely where it paid off the most. Dialogue doesn't always mesh with your character, plot-relate stuff especially, but all the little comments are a nice touch, both for the PC and for companions (when they don't repeat themselves too much, anyways--apparently half of the wasteland is the worst place MacCready ever smelled).

Disregard this however, if you wish to collect them legit, or is playing the game on a console.

you can omit leading zeroes

You can, but it's a good practice with HEX numbers, for that time where your first digit is a letter.

I remember the times when I still wrote all those zeroes before f when I wanted me some some Septims.

This seems really fucking out of line considering you're playing an alternate history where China was a pretty big threat. So sorry you don't agree with the fiction though, feel free to blame all your other problems on a nationality too.

Also you're playing in a post-apocalyptic society so the skull might just be for the intimidation factor.

I tend to deliberately go out exploring/questing on relatively minimal supplies, leaving everything else at the homebase in Sanctuary Hills. Like, take what seems reasonable for why I'm venturing out. So I have a set weapon loadout that I can conceive wearing (Pistol on one side, melee on other, combat shotgun or combat rifle on back at waist, sniper rifle on back over shoulder), and with limited chem supplies (usually a few stimpacks, a Rad-X (but never Radaway), and a hit of jet and a hit of med-x).

Couple that with survival difficulty seems to keep some challenge. Most enemies can still wreck me if caught unaware (Level 20 and I've still died to Bloatflies!).

Personally I think the Open World RPG plot should take more queues from Morrowind's opening. None of that cinematic crap, it just went "Here's some money and a dagger, if you want to Main Quest go talk to this guy" and when you talked to him he was just all "No seriously you're still level one, go explore the world for a bit!". More Open World games should do that, have discrete "Go immerse yourself in the world, come back when you're ready" points in the Main Quest to encourage you to explore.

Fallout 1 and 2 had similar "We need to find a thing" plots, but the 'thing' was an actual thing where you didn't really have any solid leads or quest markers to go by, so it would encourage lots of exploration and questing. Fallout 3 and 4 have the problem of the 'thing' being a person to try and force the players to feel a personal connection, but that connection is detrimental to the whole "explore the world" part of the games.

Why, why, does everyone not know discreet v. discrete?

Sorry, but this gets on my nerves...

discrete: individually separate and distinct. That's what I meant, separate and distinct points in the quest where it gets put on hold to allow you to explore, not "discreet: intentionally unobtrusive". Though I guess those moments could be both if well-done :)

I was about to say, but ninja'd.

You wouldn't want those points to be discreet, or all the idiots would miss them and complain about the plot moving too fast.

Oh, I see.

Sorry, I've just seen too many people using it wrong to actually catch someone using it right.  ;P

I had no idea discreet existed, I just assumed it was a typo :/

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

Almost level 28 on my all 11s character. Soon I'll be able to nab some X-01 armor WOO.

Also, I decided to murderize the Institute on my first trip. That gave me like 5 levels.
I...might go on more rampages now :P
