   -For the first time in a Bethesda game you can create a Skinny, Muscular, or Fat character.
   -The animations are really slick, the best I've seen from Bethesda so far.
   -The gunplay feels nice and tight, and you now have the option to melee attack with firearms.
   -There's tons of crafting in the game from cooking to chemistry to upgrading gear to building.
   -Different armor is available for each limb, it's not just bodysuits like in Fallout 3.
   -The perk chart is well done and perks have requirements before they can be levelled up.… Expand

It's Fallout 3 with tweaks. Bigger map, better graphics, a few more features, but the game itself is very much the same. I had a lot of fun playing. I thought the story was pretty good.
   
   There are quite a lot of bugs and the game doesn't feel polished. I've had the game crash probably 3 times in my 80 hours of gameplay. The settlement UI is not intuitive at all, and most of the time I had to resort to looking up how to do things on the internet. I was looking forward to crafting weapons and found I had to invest heavily in the modding perks and scavenging perks to be able to do anything useful with a weapons bench. As an example, there are 4 levels of armor crafting, 4 levels for guns, 4 levels of science for energy stuff, 4 levels of blacksmith for armor and melee, then you can't craft anything without parts, so you'll need to invest into the scavenger perk. You can actually finish the game before lvl 20, so that's a significant investment just to mod your equipment. A lot of the side quests become very repetitive (especially the minutemen quests).
   
   But, if you put all the problems the game has aside, I really had a lot of fun playing it. I started up successful settlements to generate scrap and money, the power armor is totally OP now (it's not just another piece of armor; it's like a tank), there are goofy quests, and some great characters.
   
   I based my score on how much fun I've had compared to other games I've bought recently. If you like fallout 3 and exploring the wasteland, you're going to enjoy this. I would ignore the people giving this game a zero; it's just fallout.. nothing more nothing less.… Expand

   Fallout 4 is not a bad game. It's not a great game either. It's a more polished take on Fallout 3. The world-building is very good. The ruinedFallout 4 is not a bad game. It's not a great game either. It's a more polished take on Fallout 3. The world-building is very good. The ruined cities, weather, dead forests have been painted with a more colourful (yet appropriately bleak) brush. For those of you who like combat - it's good - plays liker a shooter.
   
   The problem with the game mostly in the writing - in short, it's lazy. The game has been artificially inflated by using generated quests that are mostly fetch and kill quests. Sometimes you don't even realise you are doing a computer-generated quest. The actual written quests have a few shining moments, but unfortunately, gravitate towards the same point, and exhibit the same themes. The character building is also poorly paced, but some of the companions are very interesting.
   
   Critics have given this game a high score, I assume, because they never had to pay for it.… Expand

   After painfully lengthy introduction, a game starts. Then you encounter radroaches, token rat creature in every Bethesda game. 10-15 into theAfter painfully lengthy introduction, a game starts. Then you encounter radroaches, token rat creature in every Bethesda game. 10-15 into the game, you have more junk that you can carry and little idea if you ever need it. Why does this exist in 2015 game (while games like Pillars of Eternity handled this elegantly), I'm don't know. Few more minutes later, you're wielding a minigun while in big metal suit. And then you leave it, because it's almost impossible to explore while wearing it. Then there's some caves and forts, just like in Skyrim. That give no challenge whatsoever, just like Skyrim. And when cleared, give random, usually useless loot, just like - you guessed it - Skyrim. Jerky animations, half-finished physics, ugly textures and horrible gunplay, not to mention terrible UI and game design choices make whole thing feel like Unreal Tournament mod from 2004, badly hidden under modern shaders and Ambient Occlusion. Well, and a bit higher polycount.
   As desperately as I didn't try to get into it, I found that I just don't care. I don't care about 60's style (that feels more like a gimmick than art direction), annoying robots with British accent (which Portal 2 did much better), empty landscape that has dungeon or quest at every step (but of which none matters) and gunplay that is just nowhere as solid and elegant than other games do, say - Half-Life 2 from 2007 or even Call of Duty.
   
   In general, it's the same stupid game with exactly same content and horrible, unmanageable UI (that has no place in PC game to start with) that Bethesda has been making for years. While being Dragonborn and shout people off cliffs was entertaining for a while, collecting scrap metal just doesn't have the same feel.
   
   €60 is waaay overpriced for what is generally a crappy Skyrim mod.… Expand

FO4 is the DragonAge2 of Fallout Games. it is supposed to be a better version of all previous Fallout games, and the only thing it did better was actual combat. Sadly every other aspect of previous Fallout games (dialogue, choices, skills/perks, characters depth, weapons) is either severely degraded or completely removed.
   
   just another brick in Bethesda's wall of "over-simplifying games in hope of attracting more buyers", which does not seem to be working as well as they hoped. bethesda did not even learn from FO4, they actually released the worst game of the year (Fallout 76) and added very greedy anti-consumer features into it.… Expand
