Been playing fallout 4 for the past like 6 weeks. Taking my time, not trying to power play it.
had a great idea weeks ago, 'hey? Why don't i up my melee attack perk to save using so much ammo?'
Upgrading my melee weapon perk each time i could was working wonderfully, even got a great melee weapon to use as well. All going great, then last night got the fabled level 42 = last rank of the perk.....double damage! Go to equip melee weapon and.........damage is halved. turns out, taking rank 5 is broken and rpoceeds to give you NO benefits to melee, making those 5 ranks pointless now, and it won't be anytime soon it is fixed, leaving my game in a way, broken.
TL DR
FFS Bethesda, fix your damn game!
