Suggestions / Longtime pet peeve of mine: too many steps to do a named save

« on: September 14, 2012, 03:25:08 pm »

There are only two or three RPGs in the history of computers that get this right, Under Rail could be next!

When I click an existing save slot and choose 'Save' that means that yes, I do want to overwrite it.  That's why I chose it.  Don't make me confirm that I want to overwrite AND click Save again.  Process should go like this:

1. choose slot
2. option to change name of save file
3. click Overwrite button to confirm

Suggestions / hope you're going to do some balancing with the economy...

The markup on craftable items is grotesque.  The wildest example I've come across:  I kill a rathound and get a hide worth 300 credits.  With a bit of common cloth and a minimal investment in tailoring, I get a suit of armor worth 2000 credits.  As you know, both rathounds and cloth are common as dirt.

What I'd like to see is crafting typically producing superior, tweaked (NV goggles with no downside) or un-buyable items.  Right now something like tailoring is too easy of a cash cow.  Moo.

Suggestions / XP not calculated for all combat kills

I noticed if I shoot a barrel and it kills my enemies I don't get the xp.  Worse, if a knee-shot opponent bleeds to death, I don't get his xp either!

Other suggestions:  an area in Notes where I can type in my own notes, show character's base stats (in smaller sidebar maybe) when viewing Skills and Feats.

General / just generally stuck: where are the ventilation shafts?

« on: September 05, 2012, 12:52:00 am »

So I've explored the lower levels and the upper levels, killed every enemy I've met and found lots of secrets (very high Perception, very high pick locks).  But what am I missing?  I haven't gotten any quests from the lesser NPCs (because I have no personality skills?).  I have a crowbar but can't find any ventilation shafts to use it on.  When I equip and 'use' it, I only get an x cursor wherever I go.

I found the generator but not the flux thingy to fix it.
