I didn't mention I played some Fallout 76 last weekend. I had the same problem I had with Fallout 4, I couldn't find the pip-boy menu to do simple stuff like change gear or eat. I'm some kind of stupid, I guess, or the particular U.I. in these games baffles my simple mind. I must've tried every button combination to find out how to eat something when it was suggested, and I still couldn't find the pip-boy menu like I was shown earlier in the brief tutorial as you leave the Vault. WTF.

The other reason why I stopped (I had got the achievement needed for a Rewards quest anyway) was that I wasn't in the mood to do a lot of branching missions and hunting for craft items. I was more in the mood for the more immediate action of Borderlands 3; plus, my friend was ready to play co-op, so the social reason trumped all.
