The game itself is fairly decent, not the best title in the series but far from terrible. It explores new territory in a variety of ways. For example moving away from the system based on GURPS is controversial but I believe it's good. It made sense for the old Fallout titles where chances were solely determined by chance with respect to the characters skill. It made little sense in the 3D Titles however except for VATS which many players never even used. In Fo4 however VATS gets a lot more attention and you're missing out a lot of mechanics if you're not using it. This is a mixed blessing but it's a step in the right direction. A voiced character however is not. Especially not in the way it is implemented with only having a vague info about what the character is going to say and more often than not saying something you did not expect or wanted to say. That's a terrible idea. Also limiting everyone to just four options in any situation is taking away a lot of the RP aspect of the game. And of course whenever you command your character to say yes, the character says yes but whenever you want the character to say no, the character says maybe. It's clear Bethesda left behind a lot of the RPG aspects and shifting more towards action. I didn't appreciate this and many other didn't either. The most annoying thing in the GoG release however is that we do not get the creation kit. Same as with the Skyrim version on GoG. This is a real bummer. It's good we can use mods but why those buying on GoG are not allowed to make mods is beyond me. I've purchased the game anyway for two reasons: 1. To show Bethesda that DRM free games do in fact get sold and to hopefully get their future games on GoG much earlier than this one. 2. Because the game is certainly enjoyable. It's just not the best title in the series but still a decent game.
