The only Vault that wasn't some kind of nightmare in NV was Vault 21 in downtown New Vegas, which House pretty much conquered. It actually has a neat backstory where it was filled with compulsive gamblers and every dispute was solved with gambling.

Vault 34 was fine too until the Overseerer became a paranoid gun control nut in a Vault where everyone was armed with a firearm of some type, most of the inhabitants ended leaving, colonizing a nearby airfield, and becoming the Boomers.

Wait now he just found a hunting rifle that literally never has to be reloaded, it has infinite capacity.

At first I thought the prefixes on weapons were just them modded up, but it seems like they're closer to diablo-esque prefixes and not just indicators of what mods they have? That's pretty cool

The guy is either a literal downs person who happened to stumble across a magical computer with Fallout 4 installed a week before it unlocks, or a troll so committed that he's played 2 dozen hours playing as deliberately bad as possible.

It is both. There are unique weapons with pre-defined names and special abilities (that can still be customized), loot-drop items with special abilities (that can also be modded), and modded weapons.

This guy has put 30hrs in and is still using a 1 shot n reload rust pistol.

People like this exist?

Has he even crafted on anything other than his bat he hasn't used since hour 14?

I really hope it's not random enchantments on loot drops, but it looks like it is. I have to wonder why they thought this was necessary with already having mods and uniques. First actual gameplay mechanic to really bum me out so far.

Wouldn't a Never Ending Fat Man be the same as a regular one since the cycling animation is the entire reload animation anyway? Like, how would the animation even work if you didn't reload it?

Well I'm a little more interested in the game now that I know there's unique/interesting guns that I can still mod on top of that. Alot of mods on that list are ho-hum but stuff like the Junkie and Two Shot prefixes sound interesting.

I imagine it would be as if you turned on tgm or whatever it was to fire them.

Also, Tommy- the guy with downs that is streaming it- proved that it just eats your ammo, no reload animation at all.

She is a cat of significant gravy.
Unlimited ammo capacity does not mean you can fire forever. If it has a ammo cycle animation, like the hunting rifle, it still goes through that animation. It also does not mean infinite ammo. I hope to get an unlimited ammo capacity HMG.

Here's some information from somebody that got the strategy guide on Reddit.

There are 50+ enemy types with 5-8 variations each.

There are multiple power armor suits. It was not clear if you can mix power armor parts, or if you get a completely different suit to apply different mods on individual parts. We have seen that you can change parts in videos, but I don't know if that means changing parts to modded parts for a particular suit, or taking the T-1000 helmet and putting it on a T-800 chest armor.

Power armor puts you at 11 strength, reduces radiation, and has no fall damage. If you fall far enough it will cause damage to things around you.

Have they confirmed what Bobbleheads actually do? Do they give you a generic perk point? A specific bonus of some kind?

Since the skills they correspond to don't exist in the game, I have no idea.

EDIT: Oh OK. Other than the ones that increase a stat, they seem pretty useless.
