So I figured it’s about time I gave this game a shot.
I’m familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV.
I think the reason why I didn’t pick this up earlier was because I didn’t feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow.
Of course I’m trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I’ve never played F76.
The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point?
I’m trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I’ve helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road.
Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through?
There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven’t experimented with any mods just yet.
I thought fo4 was underwhelming, but I’m exited to play the fallout 4: london mod which is supposed to drop as soon as possible after the patch, depending on how quickly the script extender gets updated to work with the new version.
It’s set before fallout 1 I think and it won’t have a lot of fallout staples like the pip boy, super mutants or the brotherhood of steel which I think will be a nice change since it feels like Bethesda have overused them a lot. A lot of the promotional material looks fantastic and they seem to have a lot of cool ideas and a professional approach to modding.
The new vegas modding community has kind of a bad track record when it comes to large modding projects but I feel optimistic about folon, but it might be good to temper that optimism with a little bit of caution anyway.
