I have over 480 hours on Steam in Fallout 4. I have been replacing my games on Steam with ones on GOG when they become available. I don't like having to run the Steam client, here I don't have to run Galaxy, and I like that. As I understand the Bethesda "Mods" won't be on the menu, that's fine, I use Vortex for my mods, which I have downloaded already in a folder. At least I won't burn up my data having to re-download the 93GB of it from Steam several times because of a problem. I have a 1.4TB data cap per month, and I had to download the game so many times getting it to work right, it about had me reach my data cap. No more of that.
Bethesda left this in a really bad buggy state, and GOG have not to date fixed some awful problems with the game ..
But the public community have fixed everything that needs to be fixed.
So once fixed (see more below), this game is a blast. I love Cyberpunk 2077, but I still play this old time distopian themed game because it has really good atmosphere, some genuine scary moments, excellent modding support still being developed today, and heaps of fun. The comedy situational details are wonderful, like Super mutants comments when they have detected you, Bethesda did do a good job on the humour.
Fixes which I think are essential :
UFO4P - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4598
CFM - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/74945
WMF - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11130
(Also if using WMF you will also need a patch from CFM files)
F4SE - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/42147
You need F4SE for the following two F4SE Plugins ..
High FPS Physics fix - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/44798
And if you have an NVidia GPU ..
Weapon Debris Crash fix - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/48078
HFPS Physics fix solves quite a few things Bethesda & GOG have not fixed, some awful long loading problems between "worlds" (going indoors and outdoors), and mor FPS problems - Be warned though and be sure to edit the .ini file, for all the FPS settings set them to 60, otherwise the game will be free to try and melt your computer.
Weapon Debris Crash fix - By default the GOG Game does not have Weapon Debris selected in the Games Launcher advanced setting, but the moment you set it (and if you have an NVidia GPU) the game will crash when you load it without this mod being installed.
Mechanists Lair Pathfinding Fix - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/68417?tab=posts
Without this, when you enter the Mechanists Lair and after so far in you will eventually crash.
There is another Mechanist Lair overhaul mod that also fixes the same problem, but it has a deleted Navmesh so personally I would avoid it. This mod solves Companion / NPC pathing inside this area.
Previsibines Repair Pack - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/46403?tab=description
This solves some pretty complicated precombined meshes and occlusion (previs) problems.
Thats all that I would recommend as essential for a bug free / crash free game .. Read the descriptions carefully for each one .. Anything else you install is your problem.
With just the ones I have linked the game is bloody marvellous :).
Oh one more recommendation : BethINI - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/67
It gets rid of a heap of ini settings which dont really apply (something else Bethesda need to take a good review of, seeing as they use all these settings from one game to the next Oblivion/Skyrim/Fallout but never weed out what is not relevant anymore). On modern machines the Ultra button is still a bit too much imho, especially for Laptops :
click the High button ..
Enable recommended Tweaks,
Enable Windowed Mode and Borderless,
Set Anisotropic Filtering to 16x,
Select the resolution you want to display the game in,
Edit the other settings to your liking, such as the FOV value or if you want to have subtitles,
Save and exit.
After all of that .. Enjoy a superb game.
Bethesda / GOG .. You are lazy shits leaving it in this state.
I played this game when it was released in 2015, I'm a huge fan of Fallout series. The latest instalment of the main series is a really good game with some flaws.
THE GOOD
Fallout 4 is a really fun game, it improves the combat system, has some really cool power armors and an innovative weapon crafting system for the series, start really good, with some cool missions and like other Fallout game it offers toons of content!
THE BAD
It's a game that was released after New Vegas, Bethesda creates big games, but they not so good at the role playing aspect, thing that Obsidian understand very well.
The dialog system is oversimplified. And the settlements could be a pain in the ass.
The story is there, but is on the bland side, I remember play this game after The Witcher 3 and I think that kind of ruined the experience for me.
THE NUCLEAR
As a typical Bethesda game, bugs are part of the experience, the game crash often.
Still is a recommended game for everyone, you will get a lot of content, several hours of fun and many many laughs. It worth the price and a new update is coming in a few days! That maybe could help to solve some of the performance issues!
While I was aware of Fallout as far back as the Interplay original on a roommate's computer, and knew of the earlier Bethesda games as my sons had played them on console, I count myself lucky to have played this title first among the others: It spared me any unfavorable comparisons with the arguably better entries in the series, and allowed me to enjoy it thoroughly. Years later, I've found myself coming back to old saves, playing around with my settlements, trying to build a better future... above ground (Vault 88 not withstanding).
I already owned it on Steam, but had all the other games thru GOG and am glad to add this entry to my DRM-free collection, as well. Especially given the turmoil that the recent "Next Gen" update seems to be causing with people's mods, the ease with which I can block / revert game updates on GOG vs Steam is much appreciated. Initially, I was a little bummed that the Next Gen update hadn't come to GOG's FO4 GOTY when it went Live elsewhere, but after reading some horror stories associated with it, I'm glad they've held off for now!
