Wish I had time to play more. I’ve been doing tons of side stuff and police work, have barely touched the main story. I love how deep the combat and skill tree are, coupled with the mods and body enhancements you can get, it opens up basically endless amounts of play styles and builds. I recently switched to a melee style but I went back because the gun combat feels so good.

Still need to get into the crafting more. I guess you open up more crafting options by buying blueprints?

Yeah, the crafting system is probably the one thing that disappoints me so far. You basically have to visit every merchant to buy blueprints in order to properly take advantage of it, and it seems like material costs are very high for the blue, purple, and orange rarity gear, not sure how you are supposed to earn enough mats to craft the higher rarity items without buying the higher rarity mats from vendors, which ends up costing more than just buying higher rarity gear from vendors. Hopefully that is something that gets balanced on the upcoming patches. 

You can break down gear to get your own crafting materials. Perks in the crafting tree definitely help with that by giving you more crafting stuff per breakdown, and making crafting cost less. Also crafted weapons do extra damage, and you can upgrade crafted items far beyond what regular bought items do. If crafting was easier to do it would break the game, like it did with Skyrim. You'd be able to craft insanely powerful gear, and then use that insanely powerful gear while being stupidly good at several non-crafting, non-tech related things.
