Yah... uhh. I hate Fallout 4 as well! Yah! I'm cool too!




Please Ignore the fact I somehow put 250+ hours into it without mods.

I'm vaguely considering playing this again with mods on the PC. A few questions,

Are there any interesting total overhauls that make combat interesting again?
Does current modding rely on the DLC? Because it's an additional 50 bucks, and I honestly sort of hated it when I played on the PS4.

While I still think Fallout New Vegas is the better game 4 is more fun to play if that makes any sense.

Yup, that's my argument with 3 as well. NV has a better plot and writing, but 3 and 4 are much more enjoyable game-spaces.

I still hold the opinion that Fallout 4 is a good game, but not a very good Fallout game.

I put quite a lot of time into Fallout 4 and yet I do not consider it to be a particularly good game

NV is a good game but the toy size of the game world is really apparent today and it doesn't address it as well as Morrowind

I've been playing it for the first time over the past few days, and while it's not as good as NV (well, combat is better), I'm not seeing the pile of poo poo the internet tells me it is. :downs:

Have you not read the thread? You can only realise it's mediocrity once you've invested at least 120hours of your life into the game. :colbert:

Seeing all possible faction endings, maxing out most NPCs and completing the DLCs is not mandatory but considered good etiquette.

I've put nearly 900 hours into Fallout 4. It's an okay game. But it's a bad Fallout game.

Gasp! You can't side with Lorenzo! He'll use his dark powers to conquer the world, ushering in a Lovecraftian reign of madness kill a couple NPCs you didn't care about and then putter around the in same map location for ever.

The game is deeply flawed, but still incredibly engrossing at it's core. One can be extremely critical of it while also still enjoying it enough to sink a ton of hours into.

How did my spinning make them explode? I'm also running into another problem, I can't complete the Home Sweet Home quest because my raider bases are unhappy? I had to assign raiders to farm so they didn't starve. Nm, the quest was bugged just had to reload.

Finished up the end of nuka world, was kind fun but having the general of the Minutemen also be the raider king seems pretty stupid. I went to the settlements to tell them to leave with my minuteman hat on.

Make sure you go have a chat with Preston to tell him the bad news about the settlers who need our help.

Bang! You're dead.
The raider mechanic just seemed too tacked on and not in keeping with the theme of the rest of the game so I've never bothered with it, even for settlements I don't care about.

Instead I usually clean out the park of monsters, assign each area to a gang, turn the power on then murder all the raiders as I went and rode all the rides.

I kind wish Bethesda kept making DLC so they could expand on the main world a bit. The (story) expnsions they did make were alright but left me wanting more, really.

In general I like Survival mode, but it has some flaws. Turning off fast travel does not make the game more fun, and not allowing the player to save anytime was an astoundingly stupid idea. We're talking "land war in Asia" levels of stupid.

Of course, if you're on PC, Mods Fix Everything.

You can get those mods that make Survival cool on the Bone, too.

And the PlayStation too I guess
