I just realized I had not commented on the new loot tables yet.
All in all I think the new loot system is a much welcome overhaul.
About the only critique I can muster is that, it’s entirely possible to play now and never build a stove. Honestly, I would dial the food back just a little, not a lot, just a little.
I’d drop it to simpler foods, not complete meals.
Other wise I like the new loot tables. Most of the time before I blew off chests, really don’t need any more bones, sticks, or stones.
Firstly, I love the idea behind loot rebalancing. It is great to get area appropriate loot and NPC specific items.
But it is too much. Give me 1 weapon handle, not 15. Give me 1 radium gem, not 15. Give me loot that is special, not loot that means I will never have to craft another light source, ever.
And then there are the Eldarium Braziers.
Just because they have the keyword “brazier,” I do not believe they were meant to be included in the loot tables.
