This game…

I love it. I love how true it is to the (Bethesda, et al) spirit of the Fallout series. I love the humour, the clever touches, the obvious love with which it was crafted.

But holy fuck, the bugs. The bugs, the bugs, the fucking quest-breaking BUGS!!!

Also, the “FO4 too easy? We’re going to make this incomprehensible” attitude.

Let’s consider companions. First companion was Churchill, followed shortly by Archie then Arthur. I was travelling with Arthur when I finished Archie’s questline, and then shortly after, I finished Arthur’s as well. Then Arthur swapped his massive gun for melee, so I dumped him.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t re-join with Archie. After every interaction, he goes into an unclickable merchant menu, and you can’t get him to join you no matter what.

Back to Arthur then. I sent him to Biggs Airport, and…he’s not there! FUCK!

Kiera? As soon as I didn’t sign on, she went to a location I can’t yet reach!

Fine, I’ll solo it. Except that the Roundels are stuck in the basement of the bar, which breaks THREE SEPARATE QUESTS!

We’ll see if 1.02 fixes any of this shit, but I honestly can’t play anymore. Everything - EVERYTHING - in the game is broken for me now.
