Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

also remember that one time you could use the electricity plasmid to open a door that wasn't on the main path and then the mechanic was never used again for any plasmid?

there's a small room you open in the graveyard with the fire plasmid by lighting torches but yeah :/

fallout 4 status

- my god how can something this simple need this much from the hardware
- my god the shoot feel has finally improved, even if it's from "unacceptably bad Oblivion total conversion" to "shaky like Bioshock"
- not too impressed with the return to "+20% damage, rank 1/5" perks
- constantly running into little rough edges in the UI that were designed console first
- the most major upgrade so far seems to be the user experience of looting houses and gunshot victims

rummaging through a room has the pace of rummaging through drawers instead of waiting for locker animations to complete and inventory screens to load and all of the useless crap cluttering the place is actually potentially useful if you know how. i mean this falls flat if it turns out crafting is a pointless waste of time, but this is a huge thing for a pile of bethesda. you don't spend your time training yourself to pick out the actual items from between the inert heavy 1gp editor props anymore
