youre supposed to sacrifice better stats for utility. Why are you unequipping your good gear just to get a small boost if thats not the specialisation youre going for in the first place? Stop trying to metagame and pick a lane

shut up idiot.

just don't put skill check stats on equipment. just make them give you the stats while sitting in inventory if you want that kind of thing - in that case put them on a tool set or something for repair, etc. It's so obvious I bet they thought of it and somehow it's impossible in bethesda's engine

WHAT LE FUCK DEVS?

I always wear my gamer gloves and get my mountain dew before some hardcore gaming session.
It's just good RP inspired by real life

Thank god I wasn't born an autistic minmaxer

It's possible.

Bad design and kills build variety.
Equipment should only be re-equipable at home/camps, that way it prevents you min-maxing every encounter without killing builds outright and your character can only carry 1-2 swords/wands as alternatives. Not a whole armoury.

>Nobody wants to equip their hat of +2 speech before a conversation, or a thief vest of +1 lock picking
Getting dressed up for an important conversation is completely in-character for Fallout.

Jsawyer Ultimate rebalances bonuses a bit, but yeah, even then it's usually not great, not worth the effort to carry some outfit around just for small bonus, even if it's like +10 when rebalanced. Much better to have those skill magazines, especially with a perk that gives you +20 from them.

Bethesda weren't very serious when it came to their games back before Skyrim, you played Oblivion? Goofy ahh game

I hate modern humanity so much.

I feel like this is one of those problems that comes about as an unintended consequence of having essentially infinite inventory space
perhaps also from time being meaningless?
if you have a magical lock picking vest, sure, it makes sense to carry it around instead of any other useful item
be careful, though, while you're putting it on you risk a monster sneaking up on you

this is true. but imagine if you had to go back to your room because you can't carry everything with you and you can't just change your pants in the middle of the street. you would probably not bother for trivial conversations, but you would definitely do that to prepare for more important conversations, and it would feel pretty immersive. if you care about that sort of thing
