Fallout 4

Other than Bobblehead and level-up increases, if you're naked you should have the same SPECIAL as you started, correct? Man I really fucked mine up with the console...

I feel like scrapper is one of those QOL abilities that someone takes when they don't want to be bothered picking stuff up and want to mod before they are flush with cash.

I'm also wondering if armorer, gun nut and science are necessary if you can buy/find mods in the game. Ex: once you finding a hunting rifle with a good scope you never need another one. Gun nut then becomes "Build mods I haven't found yet." rather than "be able to use gun mods.".

there are so many mods though. do you find rng lets you get the specific set you want?

It is, but even then if you just take the time to learn what items contain screws when you break them down, and then make a point of picking them up whenever you see them it's pretty much just as good as looting every shitty gun dropped by a raider (and btw, the most basic pipe guns don't give screws or copper even with Scrapper). The guns are obviously more common than stuff like fans and toy cars, but they also weigh a lot.

True, and I'm sort of counting on that because the best scope is the recon one which requires both Gun Nut and Science (GN3/S1 to make one for my sniper rifle, not sure if higher tier rifles use the same scope or if each rifle has its own version). Not taking Science ever, so I'm going to need to find one. One thing did occur to me though, you can install mods you have in your inventory without having the perks required to build them, right? I haven't actually tested that with a mod higher than my current Gun Nut skill. I'm still planning on taking Gun Nut and Armorer to 4 though. I feel like RNGesus is never going to give me every single mod I want and there will always be a few I will need to make myself.

All you guys playing on survival bring me great shame. Was on very hard up until the first Deathclaw, but after 6 or 7 reloads I had to bump down to normal to get past him. Not sure what i'm doing wrong, hoping its just a Fallout learning curve else my gamer card is in danger of getting revoked...

first deathclaw

Yeah same, I found only one turret so far where it was actually possible but by the time I ended up getting to its little room everything was dead.

Not very far in, but already had a weird bug. Just after I got out of the vault I was walking and aimed down my sights at something and was immediately teleported somewhere no where near where I was. Oh and took about half of my life in damage during process

My one gripe is that I am kinda unable to sneak up to a turret terminal and have it attack enemies. Most map designs make this pretty much unfeasible without killing your way to the terminal in the first place. But whatever.

I gave up after being unable to sneak past low level enemy's with my first perk in sneak. Being spotted around corners while crouch walking by non-alert enemies is silly.

more proof the game is all a sim! you never leave the vault! M. Night Shaym-Aliens!

1st world problems but serious lack of Nvidia Surround mode(triple monitor) support, even editing the .ini breaks a lot of the UI to the point it isn't worth it. Even New Vegas had surround support that was functional at launch...
