Yeah mines all they do is toss 'nades, over and over again.  Turrets are never really an issue since I mainly use a sniper rifle.

 

I usually only save the special stuff and horde food/aid items to craft, misc goes into crafting, and 99% of weapons and armor gets sold 

 

The Super Mutants on 3 used to creep me out for some reason, maybe because the game itself was so dark looking, I had less of an issue with them on NV, though I think the fact that they were kinda nestled away from everything didnt hurt either.  I also liked that there was a community of good mutants instead of making it so black and white.  

 

I tend not to use power armor at all, because like I said I found the game to be kind of easy.  I mean there are spots here and there and the early game is difficult but it was pretty easy for the most part. (I will say that I haven't beaten the game though was was lvl 47 and decided to start a new game with some mods that require fresh starts)
