Just fired up this game again after a month or so away from it. Still trying to replicate the success I had with my best character ever, a nodachi-wielding, bionically augmented badass who died ingloriously when he took off his optical cloak too soon, not realizing that the military bunker had more turrets than the two he just EMP’d.
Currently, so far so good… Day four, and I’m still kicking. I’ve got my trusty compound bow and arrows, hunting knife for melee, and I found a couple of guns in a basement. Just survived a close encounter with a shocker brute, but my SKS managed to take it out, and I escaped back to my base to recover.
Perhaps most notably, on my first raid, I prioritized hitting up an antiques store, which I knew could sometimes carry powerful swords. I get in, and I see it: in the display case, sits one of the most magnificent of prizes - the zweihander. I smash open the case, grab it, then notice… it’s apparently a fake? It’s just a dull replica and about the equivalent of a huge, clumsy strip of steel. I’ve never been more disappointed in my life.
