They’re not immaculate. They used to outright deny people the right to refund their games, but they turned that around after a massive lawsuit from a government agency. Good change! I support that. But they’re not behaving in an anti-competitive manner. What, are they supposed to intentionally make themselves worse in the hopes that other stores pop up? That’s not how any of this works.
Among a few other things, it makes leveling up twice as fast as normal UP (apparently UL doubled the XP needed to level up), you gain two perk points per level, the amount of research data you get from schematics (which you need to craft others and upgrade workstations) is doubled, and the chance to upgrade items is changed to always 100%.
My favorite mod is Undead Legacy. It lets you craft schematics for the items you need by scrapping the ones you don’t need. You can find cars in the world and repair them to full working order, including lights and sirens on police cars. The progression is much more granular with item tiers doing from H all the way up to S three stars, and that includes the item mods now. Your inventory is weight-based instead of slot-based (except for containers) and you can carry a much wider variety of gear.
If this mod sounds fun, I strongly recommend also adding the anti-bullshit sub-mod that someone made for UL.
I lost count of how many specific part numbers of defective Apple products he rattled off with the same design flaw, but that was a stunning display. Just exposed that they know these things are problems and just don’t care, because people will keep buying their products.
