I'm sure I'm getting the details wrong here though, so hopefully someone who remembers the details better can clarify. I generally like bethesda for the games they make, but I gotta say that was a HUGE douchebag move on bethesda's part - ya we'll sell you the rights to fallout, but you can't make a fallout game!

It's a fantastic game. It feels very copy/paste though, typical of Bethesda, lots to explore but it all starts to feel very same-y very quickly. It feels like more of the same, so if you loved Fallout 3 it should be exactly what you want. I'm just struggling to get into it. I'm like 10 hours in and it feels very deja-vue..i've done this years ago..do I really want to do it all over again? I've stayed away from the spoilers and yet even I managed to call the story from the first half hour alone...trite. I'm barely at the Corvega plant and i'm already kinda bored. It's great at what it does but it feels like Fallout 3- 2.0 so eh for me personally.

It's a fantastic game (sorta), if you've never played one of Bethesda's Fallout games before, otherwise, it's just meh. 15 hours in, and the most fun I've had so far was the character creation. I expected to be disappointed and here I am.. correct and 80 dollars short. You make my ochinchin go doki doki.	Posted by GooberM on Nov 15, 2015, 9:58:48 AM Quote this Post
Here's a very brief vid about a (somewhat) hidden cover mechanic in FO4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Nx6P2oI1M =^[.]^= =^[.]^= basic (happy/amused) cheetahmoticon: Whiskers/eye/tear-streak/nose/tear-streak/eye/ whiskers =@[.]@= boggled / =>[.]<= annoyed or angry / ='[.]'= concerned / =0[.]o= confuzzled / =-[.]-= sad or sleepy / =[.]= dazzled / =^[.]~= wink / =~[.]^= naughty wink / =9[.]9= rolleyes #FourYearLie	Posted by Raycheetah on Nov 15, 2015, 2:22:17 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
The "Investigate The Museum Of Witchcraft" Mission is fantastic, although the pay-off is a little blah. Whoever designed the lead-in deserves a cookie. == Officially Retired 27/02/2019 == Massive thanks to GGG for producing such a fun and engaging game, it has taken up faaaaaaar too much of my life over the last 5 years. Best of luck in the future!	Posted by CaptainWaffleIron on Nov 15, 2015, 3:52:14 PM Quote this Post

I expected to be disappointed and here I am.. correct and 80 dollars short. I do get the same vibe from the game from what I've gotten to play so far. Thankfully, my devotion to the series after discovering it with Fallout 3 keeps me from getting bored. I almost feel as though Fallout 4 was meant to be an introductory sort of game without having a refresh of titles. It seems meant to be familiar to old fans but interesting for new players. Obviously there is DLC to follow but it gives the feeling of "the hype for this game was huge but we got better plans for Fallout 5 after Elder Scrolls 6 rolls out... We just needed to refresh our fan base first." from Bethesda.
