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.

    As a fan of F1/2 who hated 3/NV and its jank, this game got me to enjoy the series again.

    I really enjoyed the base building and it felt cool rebuilding some of the wasteland, something I always questioned why it wasn’t more common in other games, it’s been hundreds of years clean the fucking rubble from your bed room and stop sleeping on a hundreds of years old, dirty, stained, radioactive mattress.

      Yeah plus New Vegas has three different shitty options that cannot sustainably rebuild civilisation. Fallout 4 has the minutemen, who are just a bunch of kind hearted communists. The minutemen are the only organised faction that offer a true future to the wasteland.
