The story is terribly hard to follow since most events happen off screen because I just happen to be in the wrong place, or they already know where to go. So I stopped playing multiplayer.

Other than that pretty decent game.

Here is that WoW reference I mentioned last week. Have another character in the area and took a pic.

That doesn't seem WoW related to me...

Then what is it?

I sure hope it's not a hint at the DLC being made for the game.

Well, Creston, I don't know what to say except sorry for your apparently excessive bad luck in finding items you don't want to use.

I've seen plenty of those stats on guns, but they are nowhere near the most dominant in my experience. Although the burst fire is pretty high up there, since all Dahl-brand guns do that. I tend to avoid Hyperion weapons because of their accuracy over time crap, but it's just a preference. I've seen a few that do okay, like pistols where the recoil doesn't degrade fast enough to stop me from firing several clips after the first one with dead-center spread, or shotguns where accuracy doesn't matter too much to begin with.

Actually, now that I think about it, I saw that when I started the second playthrough on my main guy... I'm going to start a new one and see if it's accessible right from the get-go.

Edit: Okay, yeah, that's my bad. I thought maybe it triggered upon discovering the vault and stash the first time. But that would make too much sense! So it's more like play a new character for 1-2 hours to get to Sanctuary, THEN transfer the stuff over, lol.

Errr, if you're already all the way to the shield grinder mission, why on earth haven't you bought more slots for your backpack? Earl just sells those, you know? He starts selling them from the very first moment you get access to him.

The shared stash is not for storage, it's for transfer. You store things in the bank, hence why you can upgrade it to like 20 or so slots. Get on your other character(s), take their stuff out of the shared stash, and put it in their bank until they can use it.

I don't have another character yet. But that doesn't mean I should ignore good drops they can use.

Fun game, love the humor on some of the missions. The one where you pick up the robot AI brain and place it in another robot body is a good example. Needs more of that.

I can't play the game co-op though because I like to explore every nook and cranny of a map, if there's a ditch that looks like it might go somewhere interesting I'll explore it. I'm also addicted to opening every single box/crate/chest/junk pile I walk by.

Storage slots for weapons is too slow coming, they screwed up the thing where you can expand your ammo carry from "crazy earl" on the black market, who cares about expanding the storage slots for the "bank" - I want more slots for my personal inventory. I have 35 weapons and only 12 slots for inventory.

It hasn't tripped me up yet except for one mission where I needed to drop 5 shields into a grinder, you can't buy extra shields from vending machines if your inventory is full so you have to drop the shield your using, pick up one found in that "area" and run over to put it in the grinder - then run back and pick up your main shield off the ground before it disappears or enemies respawn.

Is there an option to expand the shared bank (later)? I can buy backpack (maxed) or bank slots, but not the shared, so far...

As for certain attributes like burst-firing and multiple ammo per shot, it's all about variety. Just because YOU don't like shooting in bursts, that doesn't mean other people don't or shouldn't have the option.

And a shotgun consuming 3 shells per blast, is because it has multiple barrels, and is significantly more powerful than a single-barreled one can be...

Again, if you would rather stand back at medium range firing in their general direction rather than getting up in their face and blowing it off in a single shot, just don't use those kinds of guns.

It's not like ammo vending machines are ever very far away, anyhow, just make sure you load up every time you run into one.
