You did a super job wrapping things up! And I'm not just saying that because I have to!
Remember that 2013 Fallout 4 hoax? It said the player character would be called The Survivor. I thought "wow I like it, simple and evocative, this game might actually be cool." Please tell me Bethesda saw that name and thought "ok let's stick another word in front of that"

There Diomedes aimed and stabbed, he gouged him down
his glistening flesh and wrenched the spear back out
and the brazen god of war let loose a shriek, roaring,
thundering loud as nine, ten thousand combat soldiers
shriek with Ares' fury when massive armies clash.
Is this guy playing on super duper hard? Enemies seem like bullet sponges.

Also, holy poo poo is he bad at this game.

He's running into high level enemies, hence the skull icon next to their healthbar. Rather than give the enemies better equipment or armor, it seems Bethesda has just upped their HP, so fighting them is just more time consuming than dangerous. This is extra weird because even in Fallout 3 Bethesda would scale the enemy's equipment along with their level

Did you read the article? You misunderstood it if you did. They are putting an embargo on their review embargo until Friday. Best I can understand is that means no one can reveal when review or launch coverage will run.

Yes, they are telling people they can't talk about when the embargo ends until Friday, but we've known since a week before review copies went out that the embargo ends on Monday.

he can't take any heavier armour because he's using that inventory space to hoard weapons that he ignores in favor of the pipe pistol
