Fallout 4 Is Better Than You’ve Been Told

I think in many ways, Fallout 4 is one of Bethesda’s best games in terms of its gameplay loop. It’s frustrating though because I think the voiced protagonist really holds it back. I like Fallout 4 a lot though, I think it gets too much hate. Probably just because it’s a Bethesda game.

Every Fallout 4 dialogue > More info ? > Sarcastic [Yes] > Yes > No [Yes]

FNV > Fo3 > Fo4 in role play dept but if were talking gameplay I believe Fo4 is superior.

I'll never apologize for my love of Fallout 4 but that dialogue mod does NOT fix the dialogue. The dialogue in that game can only be fixed with a huge rewrite, even if it keeps the same story beats after said rewrite. As well as getting the VA's back for re shoots

The slow backing up from Kellogg while holding a fatman is so real

This was actually my first fallout game at age 13 and i absolutely loved it, i remember building an entire village in sanctuary before even going to Concord.

I am pretty sure the main reason fallout 4 was disliked is because it was following up New Vegas which had such great storytelling and rpg elements. These elements are in fallout 4 but less so as the game focused more on being a crazy ass looter shooter. Both games are good, they just focus on different elements.

After playing BG3, I realized that Fallout 4 is an action RPG. After playing The Outer Worlds, I don’t get why charisma only determines dialogue options

10:58 I can just imagine the horror and confusion on scavengers passing through a cleared raider camp and wonering why everything that isnt nailed down is gone and why every single body left is completely naked.

Personally I like the voiced protagomist. What sucks are the dialogue options that doesnt really hit at what's going to be said. Yes, yes but no, yes but sarcastic and no gives you no clue as to what they'll say.

Kingdom come deliverance is the gold standard for what a voiced, concrete player character should be. They went full send in making that character have their own personality. Imagine if Nate’s military background was more prevalent, he could be more cold and calculating when talking about combat, or he could start saying shit like “Hostile down,” “Reminds me of Canada,” etc after an encounter. He could have a quest line turning a settlement’s/faction’s army from a raving band of randoms to a proper, disciplined, standing army. You should either full send in characterizing a main character, or minimize characterization to provide a blank slate. Not the half, vague, open ended thing I think fo4 has.

Fallout 4 biggest problem is the story AND the dialogue options. Just let me kill everyone i want, let me be an asshole. Sometimes we just want to see the virtual world burn.

If you are replaying now because of the show, and are one of the freaks who own Fallout 4 in VR like me, I highly reccomend the Gingas Vr essentials pack. It brings the game kicking and screaming into a playable state. You can see the clothes and armor you wear on your real body now, vats become a slow motion bullet time that helps you line up your shots irl, the darker nights aren't just a dark computer moniter, YOU'RE IN COMPLETE DARKNESS with only a flashlight, you feel your neck strain as you look up to see how tall that broken highway, skyscraper, or legendary behemoth really is, massive objects flying around you with real 3d weight and proportions, looting is more engaging as you lean under and around counters, you crouch in real life to sneak and take cover, you can inspect the art and see the true proportions of the open world like never before, and adjusting your aim is no longer just hitting vats or the flick of a mouse, you have to physically turn your body as fast as you can panic to make sure that feral ghoul doesn't make that last hit. Granted there's some jank you have to put up with, you need a pretty beefy pc, and reloading is done with a button instead of physically, but if you're looking into replaying this game today and have the pc and vr headset to go with it. I can't reccomend it enough. Plus you'll probably be thankful you spent that 40 hour playthrough being active shooting and slicing stuff rather than just sitting down. I hope this convinces at least one person to give it a try!

Both games have their strengths and weaknesses. I personally just find that Fallout: NV does the stuff better that I am looking for in an RPG. Fallout 4 just isn't my cup of tea. Also, might be just me, but I've only ever played New Vegas unmodded. In my experience, unmodded New Vegas was a much more pleasant experience than unmodded Fallout 4. In my 200 hours of playtime, I've only ever crashed twice, while in Fallout 4, the long loading screen alone forced me to get a mod halfway through the playthrough. I find it very important to judge a game by what is in the box, while the mods are an important part of the appeal of Bethesda games. Including them in reviews and saying that they could fix issues is the perfect way to end up with more games that need mods to fix them.

No one hates fallout fans more than fallout fans.

Theres no way you played Fallout 1 & 2 and believe 4 was made from the same template.

Just wanted to point out, Harold is an FEV mutant and not a ghoul. Otherwise, 4 is my favorite and as someone who bought 1 when it was brand new, I love how it has evolved. And I look forward to what 5 eventually brings.

i absolutely love siding with the minutemen and making the settlements war bases and or huge trade settlements

While i love the game, the story in Fo4 is extremely forced, especially due to the removal of the Karma system, which meant you would be able to do bad shit, and get an equal punishment. In Fo4 you basically have to be a good guy and of you steal a screw from a garbage can, you will get attacked by every single thing around you.
