Did anybody else build a big staircase in the middle their settlements set up a platform cover it with turrets, then take away the platform and the stairs and just leave floating turrets.

There was a guy on youtube (donāt remember who now) that built a wooden floating airship at the lighthouse settlement.

I did, but while it was useful it didnāt do what I described above. For example, I wanted to be able to tell one settler from Sanctuary to keep going down to Concord to gather anything useful and bring it back, where the local provisioners could share it around the other settlements.

The thing that annoyed me was all the time before it was released they kept saying building was optional. So I scavenged apropriatley suddenly itās you need to build this this and this to get to the institute.

Tale of Two Wastelands is the way to experience Fallout 3. Bethesda be damned. A post apocalyotic roadtrip with Lily and ED-E? Hells yeah.
Seriously though. Fantastic mod. Turns New Vegas into an epilogue for F3. Given how crash prone F3 is on modern Windows, itās thr only stablr way to play.

Yeah, like @Daveb I was operating under the impression that fiddling much with settlement construction was mostly optional. I didnāt find it particularly fun, so I think I only built two of them (Sanctuary and Tenpines) and made the Red Rocket my own home base. Oh, I did do the Starlight when some other quest demanded it. But the constant maintenance was a drag, and since Preston was such an annoying noodge, I didnāt do many Minutemen quests. I was in the middle of something dangerous and time-consuming when Tenpines fell under attack. By the time I got there, it had been razed flat. Fuck those incompetent Wastelanders, why do I gotta do all the work? Most of 'em apparently canāt even farm a potato, let alone hold a gun.

I mostly just sell off weapons and ammo I donāt want (weapons have the best rate of return) and buy shipments of the raw materials I need. Less scavenging and more looting. Just means finding Diamond City and Goodneighbour which you should do early on anyway. Throw in Tinker Tom with the Railroad, and you can pretty much have everything.

Thatās the worst of it, Nintendo priced their premium currency too damn high. Not to mention direct PvP isnāt a thing and players are segmented by team weight class, so you canāt even pay to win. (So why even bother offering microtransactions, Nintendo?)

Iāve been playing the Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing, which is a Diablo-a-like which is in much the same vein as Grim Dawn. Theyāre okay, but mostly they remind me how much better Diablo 2* is at this - the interface is cleaner, skill trees are clearer, equipment is easier to understand. None of the new games feel like an improvement on the genre.
*I havenāt played Diablo 3 so canāt comment on it

Diablo 3 feels quite good, with my only current gripe being the need for a constant internet connection to play single player (and maybe some odd balance issues with bosses after the first playthrough or so).
My current Diablo-like hopes are pinned (not very securely) on āWolcen: Lords of Mayhemā which has been in Early Access for ages now. I have been avoiding playing it until they feel like itās more finished, since the emails from them have them rewriting fundamental stuff continously.
In a sort of similar vein, the game Iāve been wanting for a long time is āHellgate London, only good.ā It was such a cool premise: mixed SF/fantasy first person Diablo in a ruined 15-minutes-into-the-future London. There were quite a few neat enemies and weapons and special effects, but it was obviously rushed out into the world when it needed 9 months more with level designers, writers, actors, etc. There was literally a quest where you had to collect ten āthingsā because they didnāt take 30 seconds to come up with some name for the McGuffin. And then at some point they shut it down, sold it to some Korean grind MMO publisher who didnāt even use the most recent patch, and it became an even more broken multiplayer-only game.

Also in Early Access, I picked up Trailmakers yesterday and itās been fun. Vehicle-building somewhere between The Lego Movie and Kerbal Space Program (but for terrestrial vehicles). Thereās a sort of quest mode where you collect parts to build vehicles capable of taking you further into the world, but the sandbox has been the most fun for me so far.
In addition to awkward go-karts, Iāve also built a rocket sled (who needs wheels?), an ungainly hovercraft, an enormous 8-wheeled thing that looks like Batman tried to design farm equipment, a helicopter that just wonāt take off, and a hovering thing with gimbaled thrusters that has enormous lift but is nearly unsteerable and insists on flipping upside-down.
I have ideas for a sort of centipede-train thing and a āCartesianā vehicle that raises or lowers perpendicular sets of wheels to travel on either the X or Y axis but canāt turn.
And Iām still wondering if boats are possible somehow; there are no keels but maybe something raft-like will work.

Thatās off-putting. I might have to reinstall Diablo 2 instead.

Are you playing it on console or PC?
I ask because I played the first one on PC and it was bloody brilliant - tight gameplay with mouse & keyboard - but Iām not sure my computer will quite be able to handle this one. Wondering if it will play as well with a gamepad if itās on a system specifically designed to be played with one.
