    This is exactly why so many of us end up as murder-hobos on so many play-throughs of various games. It sucks when the devs fail to catch that an early side-quest reward makes the game too easy, or on the flip-side insanely difficult for failing to complete it.

      That murder-hobo part. I never really understood the expression.

      Yes, I would willingly deviate from the main story line the moment I could but I wouldn’t go on a murder rampage, killing everything and anything in site.

      On Silent Storm I would go on a random encounter spree, killing enemies as supppsed, but I never targeted NPCs. And in Fallout I’d roam the map for random encounters as well but, again, hostiles were fair game, NPCs weren’t.

      And to my understanding, the murder-hobo thing was coined because some players would destroy and kill anything in their path.
