Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Extremely skeptical of the quality system. "Legendary Power Armor" screams tacky . The game's incredible design already naturally makes getting power armor an incredible achievement and power boost! There's an old admonition in English called "Gilding the Lily". It means to take ...

Re: Compilatron - unlockable in freeplay

If this were implemented, I think the Compilatron should only be visible to the player and not to other players.
