"*Combat. VATS is cool, but if you're not using it, combat gets difficult. Shooting someone in the head with VATS is 100x more effective than not using it. Better balancing on combat."
Actually here I have to disagree, I almost never use VATS at all. I think its a good solution for the consoles, but not really needed for the PC. In fact my biggest complaint is that I can't seem to turn auto aim off entirely. Scoped .44 mag, 2 or 3 headshots and they go down.
"*Weapon customization. You can build some cool, and some awful weapons. I'd like to be able to mount a scope, or silencer on the combat shotgun, or the Lincoln repeater. Or to put custom markings on your armor, like your name, or gang symbol."
Yes, should be able to find a unmounted scope, in perhaps poor condition and mount it on any gun in your inventory. Should be able to find 3 or 4 of them and repair one up to very long range zoom.
Modders are just getting started with what they can do. One of my characters spent 80% of his time with a Star Wars Light saber in his hand. Tis a wonderous thing slicing and dicing supermutants.
Hard on stimpacks, but fun!
*Losing karma from stealing in a lawless world is eh. I understand murdering, but stealing, even from a bad character resulting in loss of karma is kinda lame. I do like the whole karma system though, it's very original, as far as I know."
Agree, Once you kill someone, like say Dukoff, their stuff should be available to pick up with no karma loss. Their bed if any should be free to be slept in. In effect their hidey hole should become your hidey hole. At least till the landlord rekeys the door.
So no its not a perfect world, however its close enough for now. And give it another month or 2 with the Geck out. Someone will find a way to make it even better.
