what would you pick for a wild west style character that focused on slug throwers

agi and per

who's complaining, i was talking about the menus being bad with m/kb which isn't really defensible by anyone with sense but I'm going to deal with it because I like to click heads

yeah that was a big dumb thing to overlook

also yes there is a cover mechanic in this in that you can peak left/right around some corners in first person in this game, it is helpful

vats is just so that people who are bad at shooters can enjoy the first person shooter game, and also turbonerds who are mad that fallout isn't a turn based rpg anymore
