Nuka-World - Take a trip to Nuka-World, a vast amusement park now a lawless city of Raiders. Explore an all-new region with an open wasteland and park zones like Safari Adventure, Dry Rock Gulch, Kiddie Kingdom, and the Galactic Zone.
Wasteland Workshop - With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers.
Contraptions Workshop - Machines that sort! Machines that build! Machines that combine! With Fallout 4 Contraptions, use conveyer belts, scaffolding kits, track kits, even logic gates to construct crazy and complex gadgets to improve your Wasteland settlements.
Vault-Tec Workshop - Build a brighter future underground with the all-new Vault-Tec Workshop. Create a massive Vault and attract new Dwellers using pre-war industrial kits complete with retro-nostalgic furniture, lighting, and art.

FO4 is now on GOG and so I purchased it.
This Is The Way.
I own all the Fallout games on multiple platforms but I have decided for the sake of MY sanity and games preservation to ALWAYS purchase a game once it comes to GOG. I download and archive a ***REAL*** copy of a ***REAL*** game I ***REALLY*** own.
Thank you GOG for making Games Great Again!
FO4 (review) It is an amazing game. Most Bethesda games become a part of ones life and with mods they become SO MUCH MORE than Bethesda put in to them.
But never forget to thank Bethesda for making a game that CAN be made even better over time.
Never forget to get games you love on GOG and DOWNLOAD A COPY AND ARCHIVE IT IN MULTIPLE PLACES against future need. Don't ever lose access to your game again.
Of course it being on SALE for $10 makes it an even wiser decision.
FO4 is ABSOLUTELY worth TEN BUCKS.
Cheers.
I already own Fallout 4 on Steam and absolutely loved it. However, I hate the fact I actually don't own my games on Steam, despite paying full price. If Steam stopped operating, I would lose everything and that can happen in a heartbeat. I back-up every game I can on GOG and I tend to play the GOG versions only once they are available as they are faster, despite what companies like Denuvo claim.
While I am glad to see any title shake off the shackles of DRM, I do think games should be reviewed on their own merits (otherwise we'd only have 5/5s here, right?)
On its own, FO4 is mediocre if you view it as a looter-shooter (and I rate it as such, hence the 3 stars); It really nails the feel of power armors as walking tanks, but the gun play is merely okay, and the the actual combat anemic and lacking in true options.
If you view it as an RPG (and Bethesda bills it as such), it is sadly insufficient. The world lacks reactivity to the player's actions, conversations with NPCs play out the same regardless which options you pick, and the game's premise is a hard odds with the story's premise.
The only way to 'define' you character, to make them yours, is by the perk system - and even there, many options are not really optional (such as lockpicking). If you want to play an RPG, subtract one star, possibly two. And writing that hurt.
Graphics-wise FO4 looks nice enough, but oddly dated, though the art direction is mostly good (if we don't count the human models, which fall squarely in uncanny valley territory). The writing made me actually quit the game in disgust, so if that is important to you, be warned. Similarly the UI: It's not great, and a constant source of small annoyances with keyboard and mouse.
Mods do elevate the experience somewhat, so you can add a star if you play with a good selection of mods. Over-all, however, Fallout 4 disappointed me as a fan of both Fallout and Bethesda since around 1998. Even the main draw of the 3D Fallouts, the open world, feels lesser here - the Bostonian Wasteland feels a lot more barren and devoid of points of actual interest than older iterations.
I already own FO4 on Steam, and even at 10€, I cannot justify rebuying it for the freedom from DRM. The game sadly just is not worth it for me - I played it once, and feel no desire to return.
I opened up GOG and saw Fallout 4 and was shocked. Before I could blink I had my credit card in hand punching it in for the purchase.
This was a super simple install with Lutris. So far runs perfectly. DRM free and no need for anything valve to enjoy it.
Now we have the entire catalog of Fallout/Elder Scrolls available on the best platform. Fallout 76 doesnt count.
75% off launch price is a no brainer. Even if you feel Fallout NV is the superior game, this is still a great game in it's own right and well worth the cost.
Thank you GOG!

5 star rating for ease of install and game performance. Everything just works. This is a great game.
This was, for me, maybe one of 5 or 6 titles that still required me to have Steam installed. Now that it is here, I have alot less reason to have two launchers. It's probably not a coincidence this comes two weeks before Starfield is released. Since Fallout 4 will no longer be the most recent Bethesda open world title, it makes perfect sense for them to finally allow it here. In the end, my rating isn't even so much for the game as having the full single-player Elder Scrolls/Fallout experience in one place DRM-free.
