I wasn't looking forward specifically to crafting, but the more I think about it the more I like it. There are some great possibilities out there. And yep, bottlecap mines ARE classic: the only weapon that a mid-level character can use to take down things like mirelurks and deathclaws in one shot most of the time!

This would seem to simulate the leveling (and perk selecting) of NPC's

I know man, it's just as much as I like how useful bottlecap mines are, and it's a really great idea for an IED, I can't get over the fact that the only explosive power in it is a cherry bomb. Which, admittedly, could be filled with C4, but still.

Nuka Nades made sense in a twisted "SCIENCE!" sort of way, being you're using the Quantum's isotopes mixed with an unholy union of turpentine and abraxo cleaner (just WHAT is in that stuff? They even make ultrajet with it!) to make some sort of massive dirty bomb explosion.

I mean, might understand it more if you needed, say, wonder glue too, like soaking the wonder glue into the cherry bomb turns it into a super duper "Wonder Explosive".

Hopefully Cass and Veronica have their own unique hair. I don't want to look at them and feel like I'm oddly staring at a clone of Sarah Lyons or Lucy West.
