I mean tbf, that's what a set bonus IS.  But that said, set bonuses do intrinsically encourage completing and sticking to a single set. I could see the argument of simply not having set bonuses at all, as they may inadvertently discourage people from mixing and matching.

Loved the stream! Regarding the new pipe weapons, would it be right to assume that the pipe shotgun is going to be an updated replacement for the blunderbuss? That's something I've been wanting to see for a while actually.  And could this new tier of pipe weapons be a potential sign of scrap...

I see. I can't say for sure for A17 because honestly I kinda skipped it, but I know there was a singleplayer game mode at least for A16. Unless that still wasn't a true singleplayer either, but even then the performance was much better at least.

It's the total opposite for me. I get ~45fps on my friend's dedi, but ~15fps when hosting locally to play singleplayer.

Unless I'm dumb or just missing something, I don't see any option for a singleplayer game mode anymore with A18. All I can do is locally host a server and make it private for 1 player, and that's heavily affecting performance for me.

Of the complaints that I have, melee (combat at least) actually feels like it's fine imo. There's no point to using regular attacks, only use power attacks. Even level 1 wooden clubs kill stuff pretty easily. I'm currently using a level 1 sledgehammer with 2 ranks of skull crusher and I'm...

Overall been enjoying A17 a lot. The HD textures and new lighting, trader quests, party system and shared quests, dungeon POIs, new item quality system with mod slots, AI pathing, items going back to where they were when you get them back, power attacks, and etc are all fantastic changes...

Ah my mistake, I misunderstood you. Yeah that just sounds like a bug that'll get fixed.

I believe it's just a consequence of how they had to do it without overhauling the inventory. I'm not worried about it because I can just use auto-sort. Regarding the death penalty, I'm fine with temporary attribute debuffs but it's the whole mechanic of losing perks when your attributes go...

Gonna be critically honest here without trying to sound like a ♥♥♥♥, but of all the great things I like about A17, encumbrance is something I absolutely loathe. Not specifically the way TFPs did it, just in general in games. It feels like punishing players for looting in a heavily loot based...

Disagree here. This isn't just about how much it breaks immersion, the power of shotguns in many video games is partly balanced by having long reloads. It doesn't have to be excruciating, they can make the loading of individual shells a bit faster to compensate some. But if you're going about...

I really like the variable animation speeds for the guns, will that also work for melee weapons? Would be nice for modding in items using existing animations but wanting to tweak the attack speeds.

Personally I think that among the biomes it's the wasteland and burnt forests that should be sub-biomes. They make the least sense to have as full sized biomes and are also just generally unpleasant visually. Plus it'd make those biomes easier to balance considering there's valuable resources in...

Not so much about it affecting the tone of the discussion, but because it's unreasonable to use realism of a certain depth as a focal point for argument in video games. Mainly because those deep levels of realism can't be applied to many other aspects of the game. It can be worth it to mention...

Exactly why I don't like going too deep into arguments about realism in game design, because you can't apply that same level of depth to everything. I stick with simpler realism arguments, like how it's total nonsense that an auger can punch through stone and metal. I demand a jackhammer dangit!
