Should we stop min maxing and start enjoying again?

[HeidenBluth]

I just thought to myself that min maxing takes out the fun. when i play fallout 3, 4 or new veagas i never min max everything to 1 shot every enemy, i just play what i enjoy and make the most fun out of it. Im aware that many of you enjoy maxing everything out and 1 tapping everything that walks into your vats and thats cool too, i think everyone should enjoy the game in their own way. Im just saying that i was so focused on maxing out everything that i almost forgot to have fun. I started using weaker non meta weapons and it felt good, i wasnt 1 shotting everything like before but who cares. I crafted a goofy looking Pipe rifle that need like 80 bullets to kill something but its so fun to use

These changes will likely be used as a barometer. Once an average baseline is established, the devs will adjust. Expect the initial adjustment to overshoot and the game will become borderline impossible for awhile.

Trying that, but seems in the end, you'll go back to your best performance character set up... Well, at least now thanks to the legendaries updates, I began to see players began to use variety of weapons, not only cremator etc...

recently i made a new character who uses no weapons at all, no healing, no food & water as a little Hardcore challenge and i already made it to level 12 without much trouble but its still quiete challenging

I had a lazy vamp chainsaw/PA no food/drink/buff build I previously was soling earl and other events with that now somehow is getting hit for 95% of it's life or two shot by a grafton monster at a Heart of the swamp event.

It would appear that one or more of my perk cards are no longer registering as well as possibly a bug with my PA.


That irritates me more than slowly grinding out legendary plans over a long period of time.

But then I didn't scrap my best rolled weapons under the false impression I would quickly be rewarded with the plans to remake them either.

I also play for the Rp, I wear a police uniform and a responder back-pack. My camp is responder decorated and I carry weapons that would match a responder cop.

No shade on the others who min-Max with power armor ( They are the guys and gals) who mow down the tough ennemies. But I like playing my way :)

So you lost that challenge with your second level up btw. Level ups are healing you aswell, and i really doubt you took Zero damage.

tf u talking about? I guess every normal person understood how that was ment, who said 0 damage? and every normal thinking person gets that with no healing i mean no meds only heal through sleep.

until there is some sort of end game content that challenges builds, theres zero reason to minmax in this game for gameplay purposes. you can kill everything all the time with any setup

exactly and people still try to max out everything, imagine farming 2 hours for food and med you can pop before fight just to vats down everything that moves.

true, i also think it takes out the fun and makes it a shore

[DocBravo]

I've never done that or Bloodied.
Gimping your character makes ZERO sense to me no matter the "benefits".

My 1st is an awesome Steath Sniper with a 3 Star Crippling Fixer. If you start to see more enemies stagger and limp that's probably me.
My 2nd is a Shotgunner with 2 slightly different Gauss Rifles and an awesome Cold Shoulder.
Might be a bit slower but hits VERY hard.

I enjoy min/maxing. It's so effective
