Played for about 7 hours.
1. I'm not particularly sure what I'm doing. I mean, the main quest seems pretty urgent, but my dude seems to lack any sort of urgency. Which is okay I guess. It's open world after all.
2. But seriously, I don't know what I'm doing. I'm just derping around the wasteland looting shit to build shit and looting more shit to build shit. Not really sure why. It's like Diablo or Terraria in that sense.
3. The new dialogue system sucks ass. Being limited to only four choices for each conversation is really stupid. And sometimes I don't even know what the hell the option is. The worst part is that most of the "explain further" choices lock you out of the "decision" choices. So let's say you're talking about a lost locket. You get the choice of "where is it?", "no", "yes", "already have it". If you select "where is it" it automatically assumes you said yes and if you select the other choices, you don't get to ask where it is. There's tonnes of situations like that and it's annoying.
4. There's bugs to be expected. I ran into a mine where all the textures were incomplete so it was a giant grey block for example. Also lots of dialogue and quest bugs. Highly recommend saving often.
5. Why does power armor run out of energy so fast?
6. Deathclaws are pretty scary.
7. The crafting is pretty good. It's very extensive. I'm still using a modified version of my starting pistol.
8. The new perk system is kinda... meh. I think the problem with it is that a lot of the perks are boring due to most of them either being some kind of percentage stat buff or unlocking a crafting / roguish ability. I'm also annoyed at how many crafting perks there are. Would it really have killed them to just make it one or two perks that govern them?
9. I like the armor layering system but I wish I could layer over more base clothes. For example, I can put additional pads on military fatigues but not on a suit. Why? It'd look so cool.
10. I wish I could save outfits. Having to dump on all my radiation gear then reequip all my normal gear afterwards is annoying. Right now you can only save one single equipment piece at a time.
11. I'm playing on hard, but other than the deathclaw fight, I've never really felt in danger or challenged so I've never bothered to put any perks into offensive stuff.
12. The graphics are really here and there. Some of the scenery is really pretty but some of the character models and textures need some serious work. Not all of them though. For example, your butler robot looks quite nice. However, it runs pretty good. My system is doing 60fps 1080 no problem. No crashes either. There was this radiation storm I ran into that was quite pretty.
13. I'm actually kinda confused why this dude is running around the wasteland building shit all over the place. But I guess he's supposed to represent me so... why am I running around the wasteland building shit all over the place? I dunno. I saved this one farm, then dismantled all their shit and stole all their crops. Now that family is just chilling doing nothing.
14. I can't wait for UI mods. The crafting menu especially needs some serious work.
