I'm currently on the fence whether to buy, so I would appreciate some answers:
- Is crafting intrusive (thousands of components in every barrel, best stuff locked behind crafting)? Or is it safe to ignore?
- How's item placement in general? Do enemies really don't drop their equipment?
- Fatigue, Hunger, Thirst- a cool mechanic or major annoyance? Can they be turned off?
- How's the skill/ stat balance? I saw some min/max advices on previous pages, but how does it look further into the game? Is every skill worth investing into or are there some worthless skills like Fallout Traps and Gambling?
- How's the C&C? Does your chosen Wing really affect something or is it just flavour?
- you can upgrade your weapon's tier levels by it instead of fishing for them at vendors and you need to upgrade your "power armor" yourself which include collecting junk although it's unecessary thing to do, obviously.
- yeah, enemies drop random junk, very, very little hand placed loot in general, mostly endless random junk from crates and the game encourage you to loot because of xp rewards and lucky finds in case of high fortune stat.
- it's just that: a major annoyance, there's no problem to loot immense amount of supplies and just consume it from time to time.
- seems that by design you aren't forced to learn more than one combat skill so you left with choosing which secondary skills to develop. There's no outright worthless ones, some are just significantly better than the others and of course it depends on your chosen char's archetype.
- wing itself is mostly flavour (at best - options to solve minor quests) but the game has plenty of C&C, from purely cosmetic to very global ones. It's the strongest game's quality I think.
