Why do fusion cores drain so fast in Fallout 4?

Fusion Cores drain fast in Fallout 4 because actions like sprinting, using VATS, jetpacking, and even walking consume power, tied to your Action Points (AP). The cores themselves are old (200 years), so they're already degraded, and heavy use, especially sprinting and jetpack use, accelerates depletion, making power armor feel less sustainable unless you manage usage and grab perks like Nuclear Physicist.

Should I return the Deathclaw egg or complete delivery?

In Fallout 4's "The Devil's Due" quest, you choose between delivering the Deathclaw egg to Chef Wellingham for caps and a recipe, or returning it to its nest for the unique Deathclaw Gauntlet and XP; you can even get both rewards by returning the egg, looting the Gauntlet, then selling the egg to Wellingham, or by using console commands on PC to obtain the recipe before returning it.
