This actually seems to be a bug. If you just holster by holding the reload key it does show up, but using the quick-select makes weapons vanish from your back.

I can't believe they actually put a loving mystical old bag lady in this game

I'd guess she's supposed to be a psyker but how would Bethesda even know about those since no one on their team played 1 or 2

Theoretically you only have time and resources to program a certain number of names into the recognition engine. I wonder what got cut. Are you not allowed to be named Michael anymore because they had to make room for a robot to call you slapnuts?

To be fair, the damage resistance perks are traps.

Unlike Fallout 3, the hard limit on resistances is 1000 rather than 100, so 50 Damage Resistance in Fallout 4 translates to 5% mitigation.
My advice is to focus offense.

I hope I can give my guy some German name, and have Codsworth call me that in a different accent than everything else he says. I'd really like a spoken names list, though.

It seems like a real videogame thing to do to have it appear at or near the ending and have them say your name in the final confrontation or whatever.

They only budgeted $8.40 for their lovely zero-effort ending and this didn't make the cut, but when you're watching it I'm sure you'll have no trouble imagining the game calling you "fuckface"

What do you consider the other trap perks? I know ImpAtom said VANS is bad. I'm guessing Awareness and maybe Night Person are bad too?

I'm sure the last battle has leaked along with the ending but it seems like the most videogamey thing possible to have the last boss say "fight me.... fuckface" or whatever. Like it seems like the codsworth stuff would just there to show off the name registered and then the real reason it'd be in the game at all would be to show up at some dramatic moment earthbound style.

I'm sad, bedause I have basically the same issues with Bethesda games as Shamus Young does, and it just means that I won't buy and enjoy this game at all or I'll hear that it's good but will enjoy it less than other people. Being an RPG elitist is a tough existence.

Shamus Young is a loving moron. He can't separate his loving stupid opinions that are always wrong from facts.
