Well after 602 hours played (3 characters)I feel like I'm "done" until the DLCs and Creation Kit rolls out. I know it's gonna be a LONG wait for me as my FO4 obsession/addiction has been consuming almost all my free-time since Nov.11th 2015!
But like my Skyrim obsession I have finally "learned" what character/build best suits me. The further I stray from that the less fun it is for me. Here is what I have learned:
1) My guy is a former black-hat hacker/criminal that the government caught and made an offer to come work for them (military/covert stuff) to avoid prison. His lawyer was Nora....and that's how they met.
2) Favorite weapons are:
10mm, .44, .308 semi auto combat rifle, shotgun with drum mag (no scopes on any of them)
Companion:
Has to be Cait.....I try others and I ALWAYS come back to Cait!
Bowler hats - JUST LOVE THEM.....me and Cait wear matching hats! We are a bad-ass team!
Faction:
Has to be Railroad (and I do have many problems with them but they are the best of terrible choices IMHO)
I ALWAYS regret joining the Minutemen. Preston is a Major Pain. The settlers are a MAJOR PAIN....the Longs are MAJOR PAINS....Mama Murphy is a MAJOR PAIN.
I really want the next (last?) play-through to be a NON MM joining run.
So I am waiting for the Creation Kit to arrive to fix a few problems I have with the game (in no particular order):
1) CBBE
back of neck coloration issue needs fixed
2) Spring Cleaning
Yellow lined Items removed flash back into existence briefly when in build mode in the affected area. This makes me not totally trust the thing!
3) .44 revolver needs to be able to be fired double action mode (this means no cocking the hammer back....just pulling the trigger for you non gun people)
4) Kit should allow for a lot more unique Item Mods to come about. I like my Player home to be different than anything else you would find out in the world.
5) This is probably my biggest problem with the game - I want my player home's interior to NOT get the wet effect when it rains. As it is now only INTERIOR world cells behind a loading screen (like DC's Homeplate) are DRY. I want to be able to BUILD my own home and it stay DRY INSIDE! I don't think this will be possible until the Modders get the Official Tools.
So I have a LONG WAIT until April! Gonna be difficult but now maybe I can get caught up on my reading. I have a couple big stacks of comics and books piled up because of FO4!
