While I did make plenty of money, having close to 1.5 by the time patch 1.2 went live, I wish I had stocked up more on weapon and armor upgrade components. Although, with some of the really low upgrade values for some items, it's really not worth upgrading some of these items. Then again, if I had more components, I might have just upgraded everything that I wanted until they maxed out.
Yeah, to properly upgrade iconic weapons and armor you have craft it a new version at the next higher tier, it'll then overwrite the lower tier version with the new one (unless it's Johnny's clothes). Once you've upgraded it to legendary quality, then you can start doing regular upgrades to improves its stats. But, as I've said before, some of these items will only upgrade from .1 to .5 damage or armor per upgrade. So, not really worth it unless you really want to max it out but as far as some weapons go, some of them already do so much damage that a .1 or even a whole 1 point increase doesn't matter, you're one or two shooting anything you hit. Then again, there is a boss fight in this game, so it might be worth it for that alone.
After you get all of his clothing items all of the extras, except for his glasses and pants will disappear. For some reason, those 2 items are still stuck in my inventor, but only the purples fortunately. If it weren't for the fact hat I already have mods in all of his clothing items, I'd try crafting one of those at legendary again to see if it doesn't make the purple version disppear.
It's the latter, it has nothing to do with the story/quest line, just one of those random background things.
I've only experienced two crashes/serious bugs so far. One is during the Kerry Eurodine missions where he recruits you to deal with a girl group called US Crack. At one point you're supposed to take a picture, when I did that I couldn't exit picture mode, all of the dialog would play but all I'd see was the "photo".
I'm doing the Beast Within Me storyline right now and it's tough. I used the Caliburn "batmobile" for the frist race and after a couple of tries I found occasionally letting off the gas helps with the turns. So drive at full speed, but every now and again, let off the gas so that if a turn pops up, you're already losing speed. You could also play around with the steering sensitivity setting, turning it down to 70 or lower on the super cars I find helps.
I think you should be able to have a crafting perk to add mod slots to clothing you like instead of hoping for a better version. I also hate being forced to wear a hat/helmet to get full armor stats. They should at least do like some other games and let you make your helmet invisible. My V is running around with a completely out of place Legendary combat helmet, that I think would give you odd looks going into some of the places he's going!
Yeah, the clothing is a bit annoying, but it didn't bother me that much since you never really saw your character anyway. And now I'm sporting all of Johnny's clothes, except for his hat which I don't there is. But there is kind of an option that allows you to change the overall appearance of your outfit without affecting the stats. There's coveralls (for lack of a better term) that are available that have 0 armor value but do go over your clothes giving your character of that coverall. I've encountered 2 styles, one is in the form of a hazmat suit and the other is called a netrunner suit. I used the netrunner suit for a while but I didn't like the fact that it made V appear barefoot.I've never seen the SUVs for sale, but I'm guessing they will either revamp the vehicle system or a modder will.
I really hope they do some work on the clothing in this game. It's too hard to give your character a consistent look without, as one website put it, "looking like an EDM kid on the last day of Burning Man".
I also noticed that clothing vendors aren't seeming to restock any more (Level 40). The mods they offer are updating, but the clothes are the same even if I wait days.
What platform are you playing on? If it's a console, then that might explain it. On PC I have no idea why they'd do that, but there's probably a switch you can flip in options to turn that off.
