Hmmm, wat dis? Riddick is back in the Commonwealth? Yep, and it’s not his old playthrough, which was done on Very Hard mode and is still technically backed up all safe and sound… but since I have a clean save from before fighting anything in Vault 111, I decided it was high time Goggles got a shot at Survival difficulty.
According to my notes, his original playthrough reached level 72 and burned 147 hours. Not bad, but eh, he didn’t even finish Far Harbor and the hankering to redo him has poked my brainspace several times. There are things I regret from his original run… not only did I feel somewhat “meh” ending the main story on the Railroad side of things, but it was also the only pro-raider game where I sided against Mason in Nuka World. Never again, big ol’ buddy, never again. I’m still sorry about that.
So yeah. We’re gonna try for sneaky blitz melee with a side of sniper, which is technically flipped in emphasis from his old version, as the blitz melee thing was added to his skillset way at the end. I think that was when I started my first successful Survival run, aka my beloved Wednesday, and Ridds tested the sneaky-VATS-melee concept for me before I dove into her insanity. So, time to throw Goggles back out into the cold, cruel world and make him dress like a doof until he finds better gear. XD
