Yeah, I kinda have 3 missions (side missions) pending in my log, I kinda thought, oh well I can do this, my weapons are pretty fucking awesome, what can go wrong. Right

Also another thing that pisses me off in this game, and was pissing me off in the first one is AI accuracy, at least they stopped shooting through walls as was in some cases in the first game, but they still walk through walls anyways. Yes, they walk through walls in some areas, there are a few camps in the starting area around that mission where bandits have raised barricades to stop you, not them

It was amusing though, they walked up to the wall, bumped it, fell over and raised on the other side. I'll try recording it sometime for amusement.
Badass Psychos piss me off as well, how much HP do they have ? they get critical shots from shotguns to the head and their HP doesn't fall much, psychos are psychos I guess.
Did you find it hard doing the kill the assassins mission by following optional objectives ?
I have no idea why they did such easy optionals. Though maybe my weapons I used during that were somewhat better than expected.
