And there are those sewer men surrounding me so I can't quickly fast travel anywhere. So I kept dying and respawning in the same place to die again. I had saved about 2 hours previously so I had to go all the way back. What kind of skullskullskullskullskullskullskullskull is that. This game has so many technical problems it shouldn't have been released till next year.
No Dreddz, this actually just shows you were stupid and didn't save regulary it comes under the whole "the problem lies with the user not the technology" principle. Autosaving doesn't overwrite your save files and can actually be disabled. Thus you should have saved regulary. As for technical problems? I've not encountered any, the random drop of equipment in the first real quest the game gives you (the grocery store raid) provides a breath of fresh air because on some of the files I've played I ended up with assault rifles others I've gotten hunting rifles in my file now I have around 5 laser pistols (which means I probably should've tagged the laser weapon skill but it's random chance as to whether I'll find this or not. I might get Simms killed so I can get myself a chineese assault rifle) It shakes things up it makes you do things you wouldn't normally do.

Milf, the raiders accuracy is indeed fearsome, once when I could barely get 35% accuracy in Vats for the raider's head with my 10mm pistol their sawn off hit me squarely 3 times before I managed to move back enough that my aim wasn't blocked and theirs was off. Still if I had gotten a hunting rifle or assault rifle earlier I believe I'd have taken them out with 0 damage. Best thing to do with raiders is sneak and get sneak attack criticals even a chest shot should be 1 hit kill if you do them right.

(SPOILER)Other thing I noticed about the first grocery store raider based mission is the super pharmacy has a robot inside, if you hack the terminal next to the robot's pod you can activate it, when activated with the door behind you open the robot will go off in search of intruders and attack them with it's built in laser pistol. This gives you extra laser ammo when it dies and some scrap metal. However when you find the robot in combat be sure never to give it a hand, once you attack a raider it'll declare you a hostile too and then you get forced to destroy something which can take out 1 - 2 raiders for you.
