Re: Friday Facts #413 - Gleba

This is the first time I've regretted reading a FFF. I feel like I'm spoiling the expansion for myself, this new planet looks so amazing

Re: Friday Facts #375 - Quality

Extremely skeptical of the quality system.

"Legendary Power Armor" screams tacky .

The game's incredible design already naturally makes getting power armor an incredible achievement and power boost!
