I recently spent a couple weeks at my daughters (26 YO). She grew up with me playing various games/playing them together Mystery Science Theater 3000 style.
While I was there her best friend (mid 30s) came by and was laughing at her ‘nerding out with the old guy”. After an hour she was laughing her butt off and forgot all about the ‘nerding out’ thing. ;)
Well THAT was interesting. I think I just found the ander to HG’s question about whether F4 is a FPS or an RPG.
I just had a firefight in the Gunner Plaza/GNN building with pretty much every Gunner in the game. It completely tore up a set of fully maxed Mark 7 T60 power armor, drained my stimpack supply and got me addicted 3 times from all the psycho, Jet and medX I was mainlining.
And this was a simple side quest. And I had Danse with me. I would hate to think what that would have taken with no power armor and the dog.
This is like the third large scale war I have come across. NV or F# had NOTHING even in the ballpark of this madness. If this was Skyrim I’d have gone in there with about 3 followers in Daedric. And STILL had a hell of a time clearing the place. The freaking Commonwealth of Fallugia.
