Especially since even with all the work they've done, I've found a spot or two that need the console or fast travel to escape.
I'm having entirely too much fun using the Fallout 4 Steyr AUG by The Shiny Haxorus from the Nexus. It's almost too good, but fortunately 5.56 is rare early on. Though you can convert it to 10mm. The best bit though, is that it's got a flashlight mod, and when it's equipped and the gun is out, it replaces your Pip-boy light with the flashlight. It's actually pretty awesome.
