Foreword: like many of Bethesda’s AAA releases this came with bugs. However, after numerous crashes when I first started the game and various fixes the Buffout 4 mod eliminated the issues. I understand people do not want to mess around with stuff like that but this is worth it! In fact, the Buffout 4 mod took me 2 mins to download, drag and drop into the Fallout 4 folder. I presume they will release a patch to fix the core issue. With all that stated the voice acting is excellent, flows well and discord with NPC’s and the contextual dialog are AAA quality. Graphically, playing on max setting it looks the best of any fallout game I’ve played sans modding. Limited glitches in textures and I’ve not noticed any hiccups or FPS drops in over 10 hours and no crashed after the Buffout 4 fix. Story line very unique and a fresh perspective not only in Location but Characters. I found the Thamesfolks to be so well crafted and vibrant in personality. The diversity of new creatures, the animations and the art of fighting melee with counter attacking and blocking felt authentic. I had to learn how to defeat specific enemies as opposed to just shooting everything insight. I could ramble on about the atmosphere, lighting, PIP boy and flash light assortments, crafting, scope of the world and music but most people probably stopped reading at this point. Don’t miss this opportunity, it is free and team Folon should be given and award for this project. This was beyond my expectations. This is Fallout 4.5 for me!
This game was exceptional at every level. Story is top notch, game play works within the context of the environement and narrative as a whole. All that said I was amazing at the optomization of the graphics and how the game ran. It runs smoother than most any triple AAA games ive played and just as detailed. Highly recommended for anybody that would like an authentic and relatively original adventure.
