I'm hoping they introduce a mod whereby you can use the bed and other objects when you have power armor on. It's really frustrating to have to dismount power armor just to use a terminal or do something else especially if it's an environment with lots of hostiles.
I liked it, actually. Made it all feel more real. It didn't make sense to me that I could lie down in the power armor, or twiddle knobs. Having to park it made sense.
Have you seen the mitts on your power armor? It's kinda hard to manipulate small objects with those ham hands

It's a matter of space. The terminals that don't work usually have an immobile chair in front of them, and there isn't enough space for your power armor between the terminal and the chair.I'd agree but the problem is that it's not consistent. Some terminals require you to dismount your power armor and others work even in power armor. It really doesn't make any sense why some work and others don't.
Hulk smash? Seriously, a chair vs a power armor?It's a matter of space. The terminals that don't work usually have an immobile chair in front of them, and there isn't enough space for your power armor between the terminal and the chair.
Well, that certainly breaks immersion. Some of my best RL memories involve sleeping with hostiles!You cant sleep with hostiles.
Apparently you aren't, since difficulty doesn't require "extra rewards" to justify it. The idea is to present more of a challenge, give the player more to do. "Extra rewards" are the opposite of increased difficulty.Look I'm all for difficulty
In my opinion, the modders' survival modes in Fallout 3 & New Vegas were much better thought out.Apparently you aren't, since difficulty doesn't require "extra rewards" to justify it.

Food gives you a reason to care about cooking beyond healing items, diseases similarly have you concerned about crafting or finding antibiotics. It's another variable, and more reasons to craft things. Sleep doesn't seem so pressing by comparison, but it does interact with the adrenaline bonus and also brings on hunger as you're passing time.
Limited saving - the idea's mainly to encourage ironman play rather than creepsaving. Limited saving means more of a penalty for death, which in turn makes for more cautious, tactical play. Unfortunately it's indifferently implemented, since it should really allow you to save and exit, and "only when you sleep" is too far between checkpoints.
Probably true. I never really got into any of those.In my opinion, the modders' survival modes in Fallout 3 & New Vegas were much better thought out.
I know it's late in the game to gripe about this but my number one concern is still the system used to calculate how much VATS time is used per weapon shot. I figured that if "Fire Rate" went up, you'd get more shots out of your available AP VATS time... but a lot of weapons just don't make sense! Add stuff to make the FR higher, it winds up taking MORE time so you only get 3 shots instead of 4, etc.
The lucky find of Deliverer has finally got me enjoying the game, but I'd like to find more rifles/etc that have lots of VATS shots.
The game has this odd mechanic where all long weapons have a large AP cost penalty compared to all pistols. Automatic weapons also take a lot of AP, but fire several shots per attack instead of one.I know it's late in the game to gripe about this but my number one concern is still the system used to calculate how much VATS time is used per weapon shot.
I don't use VATS, but virtually everything regarding firearms is badly designed. There is tons of .38 ammo laying around, but no factory-built .38 weapons. I can build an automatic receiver, but I can't carve a stock. A factory-built 5.56x45mm assault weapon weighs a ton, but a jury-built "pipe weapon" is light, and a laser or plasma weapon lighter still.The game has this odd mechanic where all long weapons have a large AP cost penalty compared to all pistols. Automatic weapons also take a lot of AP, but fire several shots per attack instead of one.
The net effect is that if you use VATS, there's a strong incentive to carry around a powerful pistol instead of just an assault rifle. Modify that Plasma Rifle into a pistol by replacing the stock with a pistol grip, and the AP cost goes down dramatically and it becomes a lot more effective in close quarters.
It kind of hoses weapons that ought to be close quarters weapons but have long stocks, like shotguns and the Thompson SMG. Even the "short stock" variant of the double barreled shotgun is still a long weapon for AP cost purposes. You're generally better off using those manually outside of VATS.
