Still mostly just Fallout: London. I had some pretty long sessions over
the holidays but still it seems there's a long way to go. Something I've
realized, my character in London feels more of a blank slate than
typical Fallout games. In FO3, NV, FO4 you had a clear starting goal
(find daddy/bad guy/child) and in a way that shaped what my character
became. Usually a (somewhat) good person. Fallout: London though, you
really are a blank slate. You might want to know who you were before but
in a post-apoc world survival is a priority, the question of one's past
identity is nice-to-know. IMO, anyways.

My character's on level 33 now so things are much better. Enjoying
back stabs with something like 5.5x sneak attack damage bonus now. And
that's about to go up to over 10x, apparently, once I max out the Ninja
perk.

I'm a little unhappy about the weapon modding. It wasn't that great in
FO4 as I recall but here it seems there's less consistency. I guess all
the FO4 guns are probably there with some London additions. Some guns,
you can add a silencer or a scope with no gun modding skill and some
guns it needs rank 2 of Gun Nut. With some guns adding a longer barrel
gives more damage but mostly no. Changing caliber never affects damage
it seems. Oh well, I guess getting the guns and modding to consistency
would be another huge task.

First for me on Fallout games: I actually maxed out a companion and did
his final guest. That was buggy too but setting the quest one step
forward in console got it going. I guess for some more character content
I should find someone else now.
