I agree/disagree with that, Jamo.
The consolitis is strong, indeed. The perk sys I like. I haven't had any trouble with ammo, though,
WRT foliage: this is some 150 years after the strikes IIRC. In fact there isn't enough foliage. Plants would grow strong.
The settlements are a good idea in my opinion, but it's friggen confusing & very hard to manage. And buggy as shit.
Again, no probs with the power armour, if - IF! - you can find/get/manufacture(?) enough batteries (whatever they were called). But I have never had to use the power armours, tbh. I may have built the character luckily, or maybe I'm a real gun slinger
Using appropriate weapons for appropriate enemies seems to be the key, need proficiency in about 3 classes and you're good - and the ammo will be easier to manage if you carry 3 different weapons (and can swap at the base to others)...later you'll prolly have too much ammo. I've had to sell some, as I got maxed out of a few types.
Surprise, no sig. Now there is. Or is there?
