I started playing the developer's previous game, Luxaren Allure (also free), which is best summed up as "a standard heroes-collect-the-artifacts-to-defeat-the-evil-overlord RPG, except every major character is a lesbian." Turns out they've always been this good at random encounter monsters.
taking another crack at fallout 4. decided to thrown concern for regular progression to the wind, am now level 43 and setting foot on the Prydwen for the first time. still mad they won't let you smooch the robot but the ghoul is a lovely second best
