50 hours in - completed 10 quests, 5 for the Minutemen... I have 20 quests on the go...
I carry around my twin rifles, Fire and Ice. Fire is a revolver rifle that does incendiary damage while Ice is a pipe rifle that does cryo damage and freezes your target on critical shots. Both have been upgraded to my specs (level 2 Gun Nut). I usually initiate combat with the Instigator, a 10mm pistol that does double damage if your target has full health. Coupled with the sneak bonus damage, I'm getting a lot of one shot kills...
My companion at the moment is Cait... I want to fuck her so bad... red hair, freckled nose, Irish accent... we're going to re-populate the Wasteland with ginger kids... Piper seemed like a bitch so I didn't visit her after our initial contact...
