    I was thinking of putting a electrical charge module on a pistol, along with exploding bullets that blow up on impact. A pistol that shoots electrified exploding bullets? Heck yeah!

    That would be cool. I would have a Revolver that has incendiary rounds, if you played Killing floor then you would get the reference.

    I think it would be really fun to have a compound crossbow that can fire different types of arrows. Explosive bolts? Heck yes! For close-combat, I'd probably want a sawn-off side-by-side shoutgun with a pistol grip. I think those two weapons would give a decent range of strategy, while fitting the "make-every-shout-count" atmosphere of a post-apocalypse setting.

    You know what I want? A revolver type weapon that shoots exploding rounds.

    I hope we have Flare guns, they were fun in Fallout New Vegas' Lonesome Road DLC.

    Super Mutants are like that and we will have guns with bayonets on them for the Kroot.

    I've got a whole suite planned, but more a joke than anything else. I'll add others here in the near future, though.

    I'm honestly a little disappointed with the breadth of the crafting. I was hoping for some really interesting tradeoffs and choices, but it's mostly straight upgrades or useless stuff.

    Eh, true, still, JETPACK POWER ARMOR!

    I readily agree. I don't think it was right to let players' imagination run wild with what this crafting could do. But when 700 mods was bound to wow.

    Nothing I useless... Wait, no, I take it back. The flashlights for power armor are useless.

    And your weapon upgrades do have trade offs. By making it heavier, you do higher damage, but it becomes heavier weight and weight affects reload speed (the lighter an item, the faster the reload.

    By using an automatic your damage is abysmal, but your fire speed and dps is insane

    How dare they allow people to think, something that impossible for them to control. Bastards. They deserve to be hung by their toes!
