Inventory management is still PITA, same as in both previous TES:Fallout games. I wonder if there will be something like SkyUI for this one.

Kind of sad food isnt a thing too, we really need a proper survival mod for the game where you have to eat, drink and sleep, then maybe a sensible carry weight could make sense.

I don't increase my carry weight when I play, I kind of like the whole inventory micromanagement and I've been playing Bethesda games for a long time.

If you have the PC version, there were some great Skyrim mods that allowed you to play as a regular person (not Dragonborn), and you'd have a very low carry weight, would need to eat and drink at least twice per day (no raw food), would need to sleep regularly, and carry around a sleeping bag and tent when traveling in case you didn't make it to the next town the day you set out (as well as a campfire if travelling through the mountains or you'd freeze to death in your sleep). Of course all of these travelling supplies decreased your already atrocious carry weight. You also had severely decreased health, so no dungeon-delving for you Mr. NPC!

I'm sure mods like this do or will exist for Fallout also.

I've never played any of the fallout games, but this one looks rather compelling. Is the PC port any good? Since my abysmal experience with Dark Souls 2, I'm a bit skeptical that it isn't going to be plagued by control/camera issues.

Bethesda have a long history of their PC UIs being completely inadequate, and this game is no exception. It's definitely meant to be played with a controller, so you'll probably be frustrated with the way menus work if you're using a mouse and keyboard.

This is the PC version though, so mods will fix those issues sooner or later (along with the usual numbers of bugs). It's also an FPS so I wouldn't worry too much about the camera, but if the FOV isn't big enough for you you'll need to go into the config files.

If you've played games like Skyrim or Oblivion then you'll get what this game is about pretty quickly.

Don't worry about not having played previous Fallout games. You don't need to, and they'll only give you false expectations for what this game is trying to be.

They're definitely worth playing, but I haven't seen them tie into FO4 in such a way you're really missing out if you don't know the lore.
