This game gets better and better! I've found a fair few places on the map now, thought judging by the info online, I am not even near half way there yet. I've also got dogmeat (I used an online guide to find him).
I killed my first super mutant behemoth the other day (four more to go). To be fair though, he was caged up by the Evergreen Mill.
Damn, that guy can soak up some heat, I was down to my 10mm pistol before he finally dropped!
I've developed a great tactic too to get rid of some of the nasty monsters you meet in the wasteland. If you see one at distance, grab its attention with a sniper rifle of a long range gun, then immediately swap to the mines and drop a few as you are backing up. I haven't found any monsters that are clever enough to dodge them yet (all seem to run in a straight line towards you), and they fall for the trap every time. By the time they get to me they are so heavily damaged or crippled, that you can take them out with no hassle at all. I figured this tactic out after having a three-way fight with two Yoiu Gui bear-like monsters, and a mister gutsy! 👍
I have some gripes with the game though, and they concern the mechanics rather than the gameplay.
First of all, it is far to easy to be good. I wouldn't say that I have gone out of my way to be a good guy, but I find myself with almost perfect karma. Looking online, it is clear to see the problem. I think the game over-rewards for good acts, whilst it hardly punishes you for bad acts.
The other gripe is that I find it is far too easy to level up. I was only level 5 the other day, now I am level 14, and I have only done 8 quests. Thankfully, I still have 16 levels to go, but I don't see that as much of a problem, and I think I will be at level 30 before the end of the week. Why is it so easy?
Another minor gripe is that some of the active quests I had open, have suddenly been superseded, and I can't seem to do them. For instance the Galaxy Radio quest, has gone. I have spoken to Doctor Li in Rivet city about my father, so I guess that is why it has gone, but It would have still been nice to do it any how.
There also seems to be some very unbalanced missions in the game. All the mission that Moira gave me were pretty easy, but I found the mission to look for that lads father in Grayditch to be the toughest I had encountered to date. I remembered playing that mission on the original version of the game I had, and found it almost impossible.
It was tough, even now, with a selection of heavy weaponry. Lord knows how they expected you to finish it with just a 10mm pistol. I assumed that the developers expected you to be doing the mission with a 10mm pistol, as that is all the ammo I found whilst wandering through the caves looking for the ant queen.
Right, back off wandering for me. 👍
