Damn, energy rifle looks OP af.

What the hell? If you give your companions headgear, you can't ever remove it. Only change it to something else. There's even an in-game warning about it. I mean, why?

Well, there is the option to hide helmets for player & companions.

Also, supernova difficulty will force you to have to babysit food/drink meters. Wish it was a separate difficulty option altogether. I don't enjoy that stuff in games.

I assume this is something that will be mitigated by better gear and leveling, many people have reported the game becoming ridiculously easy a few hours in on normal, so I assume there will be a similar thing happening on hard and supernova, where at first it feels bloated but then feels good.. like the hardest mode in witcher 3

Well that one reviewer did say that after making a few tweaks to his build he made his damage/hit go from 500 to 10,000 and the end boss went down in two hits, so yeah you might be onto something here.

Survival elements in RPGs are awesome if they're not just shoved in the game as an afterthought. If there are other systems built around them - i.e. the process of getting food and lodging must be fun as well - I love 'em.

I just want options. I'm not personally a fan of the concept in general. It's just busywork for me. At least I haven't played a "fun" implementation of it so far.

Trying to find it on torrentz and downloadz just out of curiosity and gotta say, seems G-men did a p. good job with piracy since the last time I pirated a game many, many years ago.

PirateBay is down, RARBG is kindda barren, other torrent engines look like a scam. Direct Download sites are all endless-link-chain type clickbait.

Compared to a decade ago the pirate scene looks like a Mad Max wasteland.
