That is not true at all. Mobs will own you if you try using the Sniper Rifle in close quarters. The AMR is a joke and near useless in my opinion. The Sniper Rifle is great with range but try using it in the middle of a deathclaw or cazador mob and see how far its low reload speed and high AP cost gets you. No good. This Machine on the other hand? Sweet.

Something would definitely be not right if that was the case. It's not though, so there's no problem.

Considering how Snipers in the US armed forces (and other countries of course), can do this with existing weapons... Why is it so silly? It's what the guns are made for.
While i could somewhat agree with the needing 100 guns.. the 10 per doesn't really matter if you're looking through a night-vision 100x magnifier scope. So long as the scope is calibrated properly.. You hit what you aim at. Not much more to it than that

EDIT:
Hell, trust me, MY 'guns' score rl is no where near 100. But give me a properly-aligned scope/sights, I can usually hit the bullseye or very close. while I might have some level of 'natural' ability, I'm far from trained.

Enemies are really stupid. 90% of the time I can just snipe them away and they won't even notice me. Literally, they will be walking amongst dead bodies of people I just sniped, and they won't even be suspicious. This has to do with PC users being able to crank up the view distance, while the AI doesn't have the same range. (I think)

This should really be fixed. Technically, one could probably fight through the whole game as a sniper, and never ever get into a firefight. :shrug:

While this would be cool as a mod, I don't believe it should be in the vanilla game.

There's no reason Fallout needs to have the same inventory limits as Deus Ex or STALKER. We're all accustomed to having 4 dimensional hyperspace arsenals in Fallout... even though carrying a minigun, anti-materiel rifle, and multiple pistols and shotguns sort of does kill immersion at some points.

A bunch of good points there, but as someone mentioned above, I strongly disagree with the opinion about Stealth Boys. The current number of Stealth Boys makes the game way too easy as it is, so adding more of them let alone allowing the player to make more would be just unnecessary. I agree with the points about enemy AI and empty bottles/syringes after using chems or beverages, as well as Energy Weapon modding and Survival Recipes.

Here's another one, lack of an in-game encyclopedia listing all creatures, ingredients and pieces of equipment. I'd like to be able to check without GECK what DT of a Cazador is. I'd like to know what recipes a plant I found is used in. I'd like to know what upgrades a gun I've bought can hold without going to Wikia. This all should be listed in the game in an easy to read format.

Then get Living Anatomy perk with high Medicine skill?

Yea, waste 1/15th of all my perks to get 1/4th of the information necessary to play the game. I want my builds to aim for perfection, no space for perks like that on them.

Then suit yourself.
You can't have the cake and eat it too.
Prioritize.
I chose it because of the +damage, the finding out health and DT was just a bonus to me.

Codex is a fairly standard thing in gaming these days. After ME and DAO demanding it should be treated as a very reasonable concern and demand - not frowned upon. Especially if the interface of the game is vastly inferior compared to interfaces of other titles in the genre.

I made a 10 charisma, 10 intellect character that relies on my companions to kill things and guess what....it works on very hard/hardcoe. Sure I have to use some mines and stuff to weaken things like deathclaws, but my character takes on a support role instead of being the main contributor to the battle. I have the pack rat perk so I can tote around extra explosives and because I only need perception for them I have pretty low str and agi. I guess a person has to know what playing a "role" actually means instead of trying to do EVERYTHING with their main character.

Here's another one. Explosives should be a replacement skill for Lockpick which would allow to cause small explosions around the lock to bust a safe or a door open. This way player would have a choice between being a silent burglar - or just blasting the thing open. Small charges should be craftable at benches. Not allowing us to open safes with an explosive but instead forcing us to lockpick them is kind of silly based on how safe locks are constructed. Using explosives would be cheaper in skill points - but would attract attention and reduce karma if a friendly door is blown up, whilst Lockpick would require more skill points to open everything but would do so quietly and without a hassle.

O' really?

Do you know how far few kilo meter it is in the game? it is like shooting the Quarry's Deathclaw from Lucky 38....last time I check, you can't do it..........

Its actually pretty easy to deal with Deathclaws and Cazadors up close with the Snipers/AMR. I know because ive done it several times.

Best of all, you do it without even having to lie down, can do it crouching, standing or even running forward. I dare you to prove me you can hit a head at 5km with a sniper rifle weighing as much as AMR when crouching. True sights accuracy is off the charts throughout the game - and it's a poor design choice.

lol its an rpg first fps second... therefore the fps part comes backseat to the rpg... AND............its a game.

I play like that, but the problem I have is looting. I should be able to take the guns from the raiders I just killed, put them in my bag, and go sell them. I would have liked to have seen a Resident Evil 4 style backpack system. I like the idea of pockets that are seperated like how they are in your pip boy. Weapons, ammo, aid, apparell, misc. I saw some kind of mod screen shot of someone with a backpack on. that looked cool. It should affect your sneak. You should have to take off your backpack if you are going to sneak through a dugeon and only use your pockets. That, or have a very empty backpack. Not rattling around with bottle caps and 9mm ammo.

I rather my items all goes into my adamatium wristband's flat space storage.
Or proper backpack.

Not sure why people are bringing up real life as an argument against game balance. Game balance always comes first and "realism" takes a back seat to it in a video game. I mean, the gameplay involves players wielding golf clubs charging towards super mutants firing energy cannons and yet still the player can beat the crap out of that super mutant. Again, realism takes a backseat to game play balance.

No, sniping is pretty overpowered at this point. Not sure why some of you can't admit it. It's not like the devs are going to nerf it anyway.

As far as food goes, they should have made simple generic "container" recipes like roast, soup, on-stick and such and allow to use a number of different ingredients to fill spots in each of them. So to cook a soup, you'd need something fluid like beer, wine or water, some protein, some vegetables and spices. And now let's say you have water, vegetables and spices, with those you could cook a gecko soup if you have meat for that - or cook a brahmin soup instead, every ingredient would be perfectly replaceable by anything in the same category.

This would multiply the number of potential recipes - as well as made all the ingredients useful. Higher survival rate could allow using more "Bear Grills" ingredients and for roast a scorp. Final score of how much the meal feeds and hydrates you would depend on the type of it (stick or kebab would feed less than steak) as well as quality and cost of ingredients. So you could cook a super-soup from the most expensive exquisite ingredients - or make a casual one using most basic stuff like dirt, water, yeast and some salt. Or an almost unlimited number of meals between those two border examples - as long as you have enough ingredients from every group.

This would be a good design choice.

It's a Role-playing thing; 1 shot 1 kill. That's the way it should be IMO. I guess the Dev's agreed.

The only thing I dont like about it is the range (as in how far away you can see enemy's and objects for that matter) svcks... even with actor fade maxed out on the ingame settings.

It still svcks... I had to go into the fallout .InI and set it too 15 manually.

With actor fade maxed up to 15 in the .InI, I had to change the zoom on the rifle to 6 in Geck (default zoom is 25).

Now I can shoot at stuff I can't see without a sniper rifle. (literally like 9 cells away and the bad guys head is still smaller then a pin head).

That's overpowered... That's how you snipe.

Cheater.

The enemies don't react to unsilenced Sniper Rifle shot at maximum Actor Fade, so i see no need to increase it further. I save Beyond Visual Range figthing to flight simulators

As far as sniping goes....I found it extremely hard to hit targets at max view range if I am not crouched and still. If I move or stand there is a lot of sway and spread to my shots.... your mileage may vary though.
