Bushido:
i have like an enormous pile of 'legendary' stuff and only like 3 of them are worthwhile enough for me to want to continue using them
the problem is really just that they're called 'legendary'; if they were called, like, 'mutant' or 'strange' or 'custom' or something it'd be fine but like legendary hypes it up too much for "-15% damage from humans" or "+ 1 str + 1 end"
super mutants ruin your ass all day. i started playing on survival because i wanted the challenge and its actually still pretty easy but enemies are too bullet spongey and i realized that i didnt really want legendary items so much so i cranked it down to hard and i die fast enough and enemies die fast enough and the game still feels like one wrong move will shaft you immediately
i really appreciate the way combat works now. it's either deus ex, half life, or metal gear that it makes me think of and all of those are great things to implicate
Dreams_Of_Cheese:
I found a leg piece that makes me invisible if i sit still. stealth and sniping has never been easier.
Bushido:
i also have that same leg piece
i put it up because whenever i try to use my short range weapons i usually crouch for accuracy and to become a smaller target but when the leg chameleon kicks in my gun forgetin disappears and suddenly i can't figure out where my bullets are going to go
so i got rid of it, and now solve problems pretty much exclusively by running at them really fast and shotgunning their richards off
or telling them to stop attacking, and then shotgunning their richards off once everyone has surrendered (which is apparently not at all amoral) (considering i can't get them to do anything else, really)
the trick is that enemies will almost never get the first shot on you, especially if you surprise them, even if they've been alerted to gunfire elsewhere unless they're using a large weapon like a missile launcher or minigun or something so as long as you don't forget up and you get the first hit you can shotgun juggle them to death
it somehow feels like a tactic though and not gaming the system because reloading takes a little while and during that period of time enemies will broadside the stuff out of you if there are any left in range, which means to play short-range shotgun you have to actually be playing the scout

I'm playing on survival and loving it. It means I really have to set up a fight before I enter it, using mines a lot more, for example when I rescued valentine from the vault I surrounded the mafia dude with mines so as soon as the discussion ended, he exploded straight away. I did pretty much exactly the same thing with Kellog. Overall I think the gameplay is more hilarious the harder the game is.
I'm almost at level 20 now and it's actually pretty easy because all my guns are amazing. It's made even easier because I have two settlements that give me like 2k each seemingly whenever I visit them.
Rally:
Any ideas on how to take down Sarge in the basement of the castle without power armor? Or that something you just simply need power armor for
