Bethesda are soooo predictably bad at balancing at this point. Case in point your talking about automatic wasting more ammo, its worse than that. The semi auto rifles actually have a higher firerate when you spam click. So the automatic mods make guns much less acurate, cut damage per bullet to less than half, and actually reduce firerate. Plus a bunch more obvious reasons why rifleman is way better than everything.
I don't think im ever going to run out of ammo or fusions cores. Also playing no vats, hardest difficulty = half damage. so burning alot of ammo, but never close to running out maybe because Im using every type and not trying to just stick to one gun. Only ammo type you loot less than you use is shotgun shells, which is good because combat shotgun makes alot of enemies too easy.
Yeah anyone else reached the typical rpg difficulty trough? Levels 10-25 were fun but now i'm 31 feeling like its just too breezy from here.
Why do they always design RPGs to have such inverse difficulty curves? Witcher was one of the worst offenders, game was such much fun until you became too high level.
