It's easy to overlook a few technical issues....................
But, I've been playing Bethesda's games since Morrowind, and I have to admit the technical issues are starting to get to me!
It's great that Fallout has so many systems in play, but when they simply don't work, it starts become a tiresome!
- I had kitted my settlers out with the best weapons! Which is great to be able to do that right? When the Raiders come - they'll be ready!!!
Only it doesn't work.... When the base gets attacked they revert to using whatever cheap ass weapons they arrived with, using switchblades, sticks and pipe pistols, none of the gear I gave them and told them to use...
So what's the point???
- same issue with Companions - I gave Preston a powerful shotgun because I wanted him to be more useful and effective in a skirmish. When he has his laser rifle, he can't hit crap. Only the same thing happens - even though I gave him the shotgun and told him to use it, he pulls out his laser rifle which by no means appropriate when enemies are up close!!! And he just gets his ass kicked!
- Another issue , I can't tell him to hang back and use him as a sniper whilst I deal with the close quarter combat. Why? Because if you tell a Companion to STAY for some reason it effectively immobilises them! They neither attack nor defend themselves, they simply stand there! They go into a coma like state?? That never happened in Skyrim?
My point is, it's great that Fallout has all these options, but if none of it works properly or at all, then is doesn't add up to much!
Don't even get me started on respawning dead ghoul bodies in my Co-op Base.. Grrrrrr!
Other open world games are catching up, and everything mostly works, they don't have half of these issues.
Don't get me wrong, man I love these games, but seriously, these issues are starting to becom harder to forgive!
Hopefully maybe they can patch some of these issues!
