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 enjoyed it so much more in Survival mode, but with a “save anytime” mod.
Agreed, I highly recommend survival if you enjoy higher stakes with death. I’ve never used save anytime mod, the sleep to save default worked well for me.
It’s all well and good to get a feel for things, but you know how buggy these games can get.
Once you’ve played survival for a while, you realise how inconvenient sleep to save is.
Sometimes you’re a long way from resting, and you need to turn the game off - save anytime is going to save your bacon
