The game world is pretty huge.

I'm still wandering the wastes doing random shit and screaming and running away a lot because I keep running out of energy cells and laser pistols are crap.

I WANT ME SOME LASER RIFLE ALREADY.

Go to rivet city, and do the quest for the unique plasma rifle there.

Turning people into piles of goo is awesome.

I am enjoying my melee playthrough. And by that, I mean my sledge hammer. I want to get Bloody Mess so badly.

Melee seems incredibly difficult to me. By the time you're close enough to hit something you're already torn to shreds.

Not to mention nothing in the entire game ever poses enough of a threat to kill you besides behemoths, guys with miniguns, etc.

Mr. Gutsy's are a pain in the ass for a melee character, since Melee VATS never fucking hits them since it aims for their sensors.

I finally got a laser rifle (not been for the plasma rifle quest yet) and got my energy weapons skill to 100.

This is like a 100% camo suit in Oblivion in terms of game breaking. 95% headshots from a billion miles away. Anything and everything kisses the dirt in one VATS round.

ITT we see how Steve would live IRL if it were not for those pesky laws.

I helped the ghouls move into Tenpenny Tower and get along with their human neighbours, teddy bears and flowers yay! So I went back there a few days later and they'd slaughtered all the humans and didn't want to talk about it.

Whoops!

Does the game inherit that retarded monsters level with you feature from Oblivion?

Yes, the game features the idiot Todd Howard adjusted difficulty, but fortunately there are only 5 enemies in the game and they can all be killed within 1 second so it's not that big a deal.

Lady Killer is ok for characters who don't have any points in Speech, but yeah, it's otherwise useless.

The game doesn't scale difficulty in the sense that enemies level with you. Each area of the game is given a certain difficulty rating that doesn't change once you visit it. If you visit a level 5 area at level 3, it will still be a level 5 area at level 20. But if you visit a level 5 area for the first time at level 20, it'll become a level 10-15 area, and if you were to continue leveling it would stay that way forever.

I like using the player.additem cheat to get lots of grenades, then spawning a few hundred radroaches.

You can guess the rest.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around something.

I'm doing my first playthrough. As a good guy. I get to Tenpenny Towers, and discover the "ghoul problem". I go the good route and try to find a peaceful resolution, which is to convince Allistar Tenpenny to let the ghouls move in. I find out that Tenpenny doesn't really mind the idea. The only reason he turns them away is because the residents don't want them there. If the other residents were okay with it he'd be more than happy to let them spend their bottlecaps on a room at Tenpenny Towers.

So I go through and talk to all the residents and find out that for the most part they're open to the idea if their neighbors are. It's only like three of them that are really against it and hate ghouls. Through various speech dialogues, I talk those into accepting that it's gonna happen, and the three move out and the ghouls move in. All the bigots who hated the ghouls are gone and the ghouls are living peacefully with their new neighbors.

Until I go back one time and find that the leader of the Ghouls, Roy, killed Tenpenny. And then I go downstairs and the other ghouls are killing all the other residents.

So being such a good guy who indirectly cost these people their lives by vouching for the ghouls and getting them moved in, I do the right thing. And fight the Ghouls to protect the few remaining residents.

And I lose Karma for every ghoul I kill while they're killing innocent people. wtf?

I think it's still considered "good" because everyone in the tower is an elitist bigot who are trying to ignore the larger problems by sticking their fingers in their ears and going lalala.

So it's a good thing they're dead.

Well this is a game where center of gravity, tensile strength, friction, chemistry, technology etc. don't work even remotely similar to real life so it's no surprise that the idiots at Bethesda have no idea what morals are.

No, only like three of them actually hated the ghouls. Everyone else just went along with them because they had no spine. You talk the three(I forget who they are; one of the couples and a single female, the Doctor's young trophy wife) who hate ghouls into leaving and the rest of them are fine with the idea of the ghouls moving in.

The Doctor is even excited to be able to run some tests to see if he can figure out a way to change ghouls back into regular people.

I guess it could be argued since you obtusely let the insane ghouls in who were clearly intent on murdering everyone and then killed them you did the worst possible thing.
