so i finally found that city i was searching for before
but it’s one of the so big it’s hard to pick out the good stuff on the minimap variety sadly, i still managed to hit a bank and electronics store or two plus pull some good parts off a tank i managed to find eventually.
i also apparently radiated myself heavily enough that manual sleeping is quite impossible and given i’ve spent a lot of time working on and dismantling random vehicles and such it’s going to be 100% involuntary only for at least another month i’m thinking.
this is one of my pastimes in cataclysm, go out, get radiated to the point where it starts to mess with my stats and basically turtle up doing crafting or something like that until you fall asleep from exhaustion, which point you should be almost starving and totally dehydrated, chug water, eat something, rinse, repeat until i no longer glow in the dark.
this couldn’t have been that severe though honestly probably less than 500 points of radiation since it didn’t tank my stats too hard, but i’m not sure, at any rate by my count i’m now on day 113 (i don’t keep track technically but i play with 90 days seasons and it’s day 24 of summer) or so into the cataclysm, found a still suit in a bank safe, now that’s one hell of a score, also found what seemed to be a nicer laser LMG weapon to use a turret but honestly i removed that one for the other i’d been using because it fires way too much after things are dead and the other rarely needs a second shot anyway.
so with all that radiation ticking away surprisingly little actually happened, the only change i personally noticed was that i got fast metabolism, which quite frankly i don’t think i’m really a fan of to begin with, but yeah whatever i’ve gotten royally screwed for mutations every which way with this character in my opinion anyway so it may as well continue.
i also don’t really like any of the ones i’ve gotten either, VQPR is okay but i don’t think i’ve ever died to pain so why bother, spines could be pretty good, but who the crap walks around naked?
all in all disappointing and aggravating play session, i had to deal with the “yes/no/ignore” monster quite a bit and since the city was so large even if i cheated myself mininukes systematically clearing it out would have been just a pure waste of time and to top it off i only noticed about one mutation coming from more than 250 points of radiation as well, but frankly i’ve never really kept track of the exchange rate on that currency.
