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.
