Fallout weapons with enchantments ... I can't be the only one who feels that this sounds kinda wrong.
Not that I have a problem with crafting though and improving weapons. Actually I think this is one of the best parts of Fallout. But you can't really say that all of it makes a lot of sense. Like, why should a certain weapon have a chance to freeze enemies, or to damage limbs, shooting plasma bolts or what ever. Has the game at least different forms of amunition for weapons? Like armor pearcing or something like that?
Naaah. It's radiation. Radiation is basically magic, remember? That's why you can have footwear that make lockpicking easier. Because reasons.
You don't get it, dude. It's perfectly logical. You see, this special magic footwear enchantment, handcrafted by some toddlers in rural Falkreath, basically works like an orthopaedic arch support. Soon as you put these aweseome shoes on you suddenly don't get cramps anymore and can kneel or bend forward for as long as you want to. They also come with extra flea-powder, so you dont have to scratch your crotch while picking. And since you're able stand soooo relaxed in front of the lock now it's sooo much easier for you to pick it. It almost unlocks itself now! Shazam!
Coming Up next: Headgear that casts "Unlock, Level 100" if you bash you head against the door. Here's how it works: you basically find a hallway with many locked doors. Now you read a scroll with all the lore-recons beth did for Fallout. The inevitable desire to bash your head against the wall will rise within you. Once your little outrage is over all doors will be unlocked! Congratz!
Seriously though, i managed to find some 10mm pistols and rifles with enchs like bleed, poison, +25% dps /w higher recoil or Ignore 30%DT. Well i dunno how you poison 10mm rounds or why enemies wont bleed anyway when being shot but +25% dps on a combat shotgun is pretty sweet. 30%DT ignore is on sniper-modified combat rifle, pretty much one-hitting enemies from afar with that one, and if i don't it shoots so ridiculously fast semi-auto that 2nd shot pops the head.
There's a lot of whacky stuff flying around though, a poisnous breadroll i can explain after some 200 years, but a staggering rocket launcher? I mean wow, finally those rockets will stagger targets on hit, huh? Before it was like bee-stings to your typical raider but NOW it staggers!!!
It symbolizes the staggering failure in story, lore and background they've managed to produce. Again very meta, very high-brow shit
