Fallout 4 is a fun open world game with a fairly satisfying core gameplay loop, even if it's a downgrade from previous titles in several crucial aspects. (You know, story, dialogue, reactivity. The rpg bits.) Ultimately, I had a good time playing it, even if the final impression was somewhat marred by the lovely endings.

Also, I hope the base-building never reappears in any of their games.

I liked shooting down the blimp

Because the chosen one never left arroyo before their quest. The courier has been at their job for a long time already and they have traveled a very long way. They've been to Utah before the 80s and White Legs tribes moved in, and they've been at least as far northeast as Montana.

The Courier story never felt like too much baggage and it doesn't influence your in-game choices too much. It's like 5% of the way to one of the two Torment games where your character is ENTIRELY defined by their past, and FO2 is 1%. It's 5x as much but it's not like you spend the entire game sorting through a world shaped by your character's past misdeeds.

if you don't already know how they end, sure, why not. if you've got a general idea of what they're about, I wouldn't bother. HH was my personal favorite, with DM being a close second and OWB and LR having a two way tie for dead last.

Is there a way to get a grenade machinegun or Mercy early on via cheese but not cheating? This is crucial to my enjoyment

a low level character could easily pass a Speech 30 check and have the minimum stealth to get to freeside to buy the grenade machinegun, but then you might also get screwed by a lack of ammo, since the grenade machinegun is considered a mid/end game weapon and the ammo isn't super common on low level enemies. the base price of the thing is also 5000+ caps, so you're going to have to come up with a way to scrape together a bunch of caps (maybe a high Luck build abusing the casino in freeside) and on top of everything else, the grenade machinegun requires 100 skill in Explosives to use, so even if you manage to find one / buy one, you're going to be extremely inaccurate with it unless you dump every single free skill point into explosives.

honestly it seems like it'd be easier to console command yourself the weapon and the necessary skill if that's your bag. or maybe just use a regular grenade rifle, since you can find those at a much lower level and they'll still let you rain explosive death down on your targets.

This is pretty much what I did on my last playthrough, as it turns out. I also apparently found a mod for a .50 cal machinegun and have been running around blowing Deathclaws apart

The different voice when saying goodbye thing in New Vegas thing happens a lot: Sarah from vault 21 has a real noticeable change, and I once got a deep grown woman voice coming out of a little girl and it was creepy/hilarious.

Love to bang that jumpsuit lady

An old Star Wars vs. Star Trek website by Michael Wong, stardestroyer.net, talked about this problem in sci-fi and called it a "brain bug". It was about things like the Ferengi starting out as a serious alien race that occasionally displayed greed and turning into actual worshipers of money and mercantile business, or someone going into the Jefferies tubes to fix a problem once and later seasons having practically all maintenance take place in these cramped tubes. One kinda iconic thing gets latched on and distorted until it's all you have.

The tubes were a set, once you build the drat thing you're stuck with it. The Ferengi were basically a failed villain concept that got reworked. There's a lot more of an excuse for this in TV where the assets are comparatively more expensive than they are in a game but lol Fallout 4

What about the doctor dude that lives there? The one that you can use to perform surgery on Rex, or help Lily, that also comes up later in the story? At least Jacobstown is an actual town, with like, houses and poo poo. Fallout 3 had TWO loving towns and I'm still mad about that to this day.

Didn't 4 also?
