- 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

why does bethesda keep doing console focused uis when the console versions are usually so bad

because PC players will put up with a console interface but not the other way around

the container looting in the game is seriously refreshing. i know that sounds ridiculous but as an unashamed bethesda fangirl that one feature alone will make it hard to go back to older fallouts/elder scrolls
