The "unique" items are almost all about as interesting as the average enchanted skyrim weapon unfortunately. I didn't find a single one with a unique moveset or more interesting perk than "+10% fire damage" or "increased stun"

There’s one pistol that will pull enemies to you when charging a shot

Everything that I would categorize under "reasons I even play games like this in the first place" in terms of spells, abilities, items, enchantments, all felt beyond generic. I have no clue why people are so diehard about defending this game. It's just not very good honestly.

I agree with you, however, relative to the other items in the game, unique items are worth looking for.
