The deafening silent chorus of nerd-thoughts of "Dang, I think I just wasted a hundred bucks" as they strap a shamefully cheap piece of plastic poo poo to their arms on launch day will be glorious.

At E3 Todd Howard walked out on stage and straight-up said it will be a cheap plastic piece of crap so I have been waiting for the nerd schadenfreude for like 5 months.

"What is the escape key going to do on this screen?" is a fun game to play on PC. Open up the pause menu? Back your out of your current menu? Cancel the act of cancelling? Who knows until you try because each screen's controls were made independent of each other by schizophrenics who've never used a keyboard.

No loving poo poo. I'm not sure what's worse, having to take my hand off ESDF and use the arrow keys for dialogue, or the fact that tab usually backs you up one level in menus, except at workbenches, where if you're at the root level enter exits the menu and tab keeps you in it, or the fact that the Controls menu doesn't actually let you redefine all the hotkeys. R-enter to scrap poo poo is also annoying as hell.

You have to *work extra hard* to make an interface that bad.

Is there a mod that lets you fix all that stupid poo poo yet?

"E" works anytime the game says 'Enter". So you can R->E through a bunch of scrap in your bases real quick, or E out of workshops or whatever



Edit: That said the controls are still a loving travesty

Attempting a full-melee run through the game and I have a feeling the deathclaws will put a stop to that. But im still near the start and running around with a pool cue wrapped in barbed wire seems to destroying everything in one hit on normal.

I don't know that that is even possible unless you avoid every area that has super mutants and most areas that have raiders. And also random stuff like suicide bomber molerats.

God drat the building controls are loving cool. I threw up a 3 story citadel in like a minute. I only had one issue on the second floor I wanted all of the boards running one way and the game really, really wanted to snap the piece in running the other way for some reason I couldn't figure out.

The Silver Shroud quest really made me miss New Vegas. There was an ending scenario in that quest that I thought I'd have a small group of choices to make. Most I found I could do in the dialogue was maybe scare away a few thugs that would literally die to anything I shot at them anyway. All the options seemed to end in the exact same scenario, angry boss shoots friend.I solved that quest by doping up on drugs, going into VATs and double headshotting both people coded to shoot my friend before they even could. Took a few tries with how long you stay in VATS while not shooting. Yeah, a bullet, great, but why the gently caress are you waiting 30 seconds to start the next shot?

You didn't try all the options very hard then.

Oh God looting the weapons off corpses gives you ~a full clip of ammo for that weapon. I've been hemorrhaging bullets and scrounging for like 30 hours, and then just after going through a synth area and looting every gun and throwing them back on the ground I ended up with 1500+ fusion cells.


Also I ballistic weaved the Memory Den lady's dress up to like 110 armor or something so eat poo poo wasteland.
