Started a third playthrough, played for a little while, everything feels so much smoother.

Tried my hand at weaponsmithing and fieldstripping. I think a manual may be needed for those items. It seems a little vague what some combinations will do, and whether I can apply more than one mod. From playing around looks like only one mod per weapon.
Bad thing is if you apply a mod to a weapon that already has a mod, you lose the original mod. Would be nice to be able to remove the mod to try other mods out, but if you fieldstrip you would lose that mod from your inventory.

And you get experience from modding, I understand getting XP but perhaps that XP should only be applied to your weaponsmithing or fieldstripping skills.

I created a couple new suggestions for these gripes.

Havent gotten much into the beta lately. Has the updates improved the graphics? Or is it a Unity engine thing?.

Not as far as I can tell. They improved the speed of the game in this update. Character & Inventory screen are no longer slow. Text is still really tiny in the inventory. You can increase the size of the HUD (like that was really needed).

That tiny text really bug me.argh

Feels a lot smoother than before. Pre patch it felt sluggish. Nothing changed for the graphics and graphics options except HUD options. The game doesn't seem to save some of the gfx options sometimes, not sure if u all have the same problem. I have the brightness upped a notch but everytime I alt-tab it seems to go back to default, then I go back to video options and go back to the game, the brightness goes back up again.

Has anybody bought the red boots DLC?

I'd recommend it for everyone. It really is a new benchmark upon which every DLC will be compared to in the future. The new plot elements alone push in quite a lot of new places and characters. Though as the name suggest, I don't how many of them will stay alive after the blood bath.

Yeah of course. Adds like 30 hours of gameplay.

Cool... so it's well worth the $49.95.

Did you go through the Mexican cartel plot yet? I ended up sidnig with Juarez, but now the mutated sons of Rodriguez are hunting me all over. They do add quite a bit to the difficulty level, being that Jesus is almost bullet proof. Or perhaps that's just a bug?

I guess is a bug, at least here he falled too easy

Interesting...in the Ag center you can kill the hostages with no penalties. Everyone still talks to you like normal. I think I even got 1XP for killing them.
I killed the first hostage by missing a pod dude. The encounter didn't end after I killed all the flies and pod people and all the hostages changed to an enemies, but they didn't attack. So, I killed the rest of them and the encounter ended.

I so really hate the camera view. I miss the old 2D world of the IE games. Having to position the camera around before walking into a room is so tedious. And I always seem to miss one of those blood plants in the Ag Center, because of the camera.
I would also love it if they finally increased the text size, playing at 1280x720 is such a PITA.

Think yourself lucky, I still havent made it to the AG center or anything, after getting the repeaters I can never get back into the world map, crashes and the saves never damn we work, im waiting for another patch before i start again, im honestly bored of doing that first area.
