Melee combat is pretty damn satisfying so far.
Punching robots is the most fun ever.
I really love fighting robots. The more you shoot them, the more parts fall off. Mr Handys and Synths are awesome. I wasn't expecting that level of detail from Beth.
Also, on low levels, fighting broken Mr Gutsies is rather hard since they move a lot and they are missing parts, so it makes it damn hard to hit. When their armor falls off it looks even more freaky.
And by the way, I started going to towns and thing that normal players should do. Damn, I'm happy with it.
I'm also loving the companions. I mean, even if most characters are rather bland or uninteresting, the way each companion reacts, interacts with the world and with each other, and hold very different opinions, likes and distates..it's pretty amazing (very fitting) for a Fallout game. A step in the right direction for sure.
It sort of piss me off that I just got a follower that dislikes when I use Power Armor, since I didn't use PA's until right now. Cleared even crazy places without it.
But of course, now that I'm using it, someone wants to judge me.
There's also a racist one that dislikes Ghouls. I'm always chill with ghouls, so I have to compensate for the dislikes in other ways.
In other note, the game is really slow and awkward in the beginning - especially if you don't go directly to the quest marks. Just exploring without no context, like I did, feels increasingly weird (even if it's fun as hell).
Compared to FO3, for instance, that weirdness barely happens because when you start, there's a huge probability you'll get to Megaton or some other place, which will give some sort of framework and context with lore, world info, faction info, surroundings info, etc.
That's why I think a lot of newbies (and even some types of fans) can be pissed with FO4 at the start. To get any real sense of the world, you have to head to Diamond City, which is far as f***.
It's just my opinion/feeling though, not sure if anyone got that.
I was wandering through the commonwealth when I ran into a small group of super mutants and Brotherhood knights fighting each other. I closed in to help out the knights when suddenly I heard a minigun going off. I ran for cover and equipped my sniper rifle so I could take out the minigun wielding mutant from a distance. Much to my surprise it was not a mutant holding the minigun, it was my companion dishing out justice with it. She must have grabbed it off of a dead supermutant. I have not seen my companion pick up a gun in the 30 hours I've put into the game so it caught me completely off guard!
Hah yes! It happened two times. One of them, the companion picked up a Gamma Gun. I was closing in on the dudes to shotgun them, and the companion killed me. Sad day.
