» Thu Oct 15, 2009 11:31 pm Not to nitpick..but you care about the railway rifle...why? Its a junky piece of..well..junk, just like all the other 'build it yourself' weapons with the exception of the nuka grenade
Because my current character's story is that she ONLY uses the custom built weapons. (Excepting, of course, for the baseball bat until she left the vault) And it's been a blast. I did indeed have to make some geck'ish concessions with the railway rifle to make it stand up. I've increased the clip from 8 to 12 and reduced the spread to only slightly worse than the hunting rifle rather than much worse. I also modified The Pitt's ammo press to allow it to make railway spikes (which is a mod I've thrown up on nexus) because those damn things are so rare.
It has been a truly fantastic and interesting play through. When I reach the level 30 cap or hit every spot in the wasteland (which ever comes first, i've also made a custom "slow as hell" leveling mod), I'm probably going to write a little blurb about it.
I'm glad it's been of some use and to be counted among the roster of utility modders. Don't forget the FOSE team as without their continued support for 1.0.0.15, Fake patch would have died off long ago. I'm still really hoping Beth coughs up a 1.6 patch soon which puts an end to this. Although 1.5.0.22 does fix the VATS perks, still no grenade/missile targetting and it slows to a crawl after 2-10 minutes of playing every time while 1.0.0.15 cuts through it all like a hot knife through butter, thus the retro-patch is still my preferred way to play. Thanks for testing for Elminster, as without his expertise and wonderful and ever more useful FO3Edit, none of this would even be possible.
