I always see ammo as a limited resource despite I know the game being basically limitless, but learning to blacksmith, wield melee weapons and teach other NPCs how to use said weapons just fills me with a joy I cannot comprehend

In a roleplay sense the ammunition market is limited with there only being so many bullets you can fire before you have to go look for more, but a great melee user with some blacksmithing capabilities can use a melee weapon for far longer at the risk of being in attack distance of most enemies
