Love/hate relationship with Fallout 4
To say this is an RPG is some what of a lie. It's VERY railroaded honestly. So many quests require these scripted events to even complete them and once you finish the game four times you realize that really every faction only has a handful of unique quests or ways to complete them. Pretty much everything boils down to good option or bad option. It's not like you're really punished either way too. This could be due to the complete gutting of the stat and dialogue system. Yeah spoiler, here's every dialogue option in Fallout 4. Yes, No, Sarcastic (Yes), Question (Yes). Fallout 4 gives you the illusion of choice. In reality you can't do squat without doing it in a very specific order. Also don't even get me started on retconns and pretty terrible factions. It's honestly really lazy and just goes to show that Bethesda really can't see Fallout past power armor and super mutants. That's the hate part of this relationship. The love part is the amazing gameplay loop, looting, and exploration. Bethesda somehow delivers more intruiging stories through enviroment than through their actual main campaign. It's very fun to have to scrap from rescources and find new weapons or gear. Not the mention the combat is very fun. My suggestion is to ignore the main story and just explore every avliable area that you can. Pretend you don't have a family at all! Trust me it's better this way. If you don't care about previous Fallout games then yeah this is a good game to get. Easy and fun to get into. If you're a hardcore Fallout fan then this game might dissapoint you.
Is this helpful to you?
