Fallout 4

The building stuff can be ignored after the building tutorial. Best thing to do is just build a ladder to the roof of Red Rocket, pop a premade structure down or even just a few boxes and just use that as your own base to store stuff. It's the most convenient solo space and I mention the roof because you can pop down a welcome mat that acts as the fast travel spot and it keeps your items out of reach. It also has one of all workbenches you can just move up too so you don't even have to build them.

NV isn't overrated for me. It's not perfect or anything, but I think it's the best Fallout game by quite some distance, and one of the best RPGs ever made. That being said, I don't at all want to be associated with the NMA sociopaths, all of whom really need to go outside and smell some grass or something.

As for me, I don't really like the direction that Bethesda took the series. But hey... they own the rights to it, and they can do what they want with it. It's not a personal affront to me that they turned it into a thing that millions of other people like; I'm happy that people like them! Hell, if they'd made something catered only to me, the series would have probably died long ago.

Besides, if I want more 2D Fallout, I can just go play the Wasteland games. They're not all that far off.

What things that were changed didn't you like?

NV was made in 18 months too, how long did Bethesda just take over Starfield again?

Fallout 3 was my introduction to the Fallout world. I really enjoyed it, exploring the wasteland was a good time and the aesthetic is excellent, I can't really remember much about the quests or characters, though.

New Vegas was sparser and it didn't fill me with as much wanderlust, but I have far more lasting memories from it. It's what happens when you're presented with more choice and dilemmas than [Do the quest] or [Don't do the quest].

Wow, can't beat a bit of opinion gatekeeping. I also much preferred Fallout 3 to New Vegas. It's almost as if people want different things from games.

I am playing through a solo settlement campaign of FWW at this very moment.

Like I said, it's okay to have wrong opinions.

All of them are great to excellent…

If we’re going to gate keep people’s opinions on games then we’re also going to gate keep people’s ability to post. Here’s a week timeout for zagibu. If that sort of thing is really important to you, fuck off to NWA or one of the Fallout subreddits.


Anyway, I didn’t get on with settlement stuff at launch but the DLC made it pretty decent to lose some time to. Getting a factory line setup that churns out ammo en mass was rewarding, if super clunky and Minecraft-lite.

I think it's something like 8 years or so.

I’d like a tighter, smaller (but still open) space. Starfield kind of showed that having a billion places to go is meaningless if there’s nothing there. Also would like them to make an effort at merging Radiant quests and better outcomes. Which once again has been shown that having virtually unlimited procedural quest, while a nice idea, doesn’t work when all they are is Preston bleating that a settlement is under attack by raiders or that someone’s lost a precious teapot in a location you’ve already cleared.

Also some more substantial returns to old locations. Seeing what’s up in Vault 13 could make a nice side quest.

Also, while the coding of NV was short, most of the story points, characters, and to some extent, main quests had been around for years in Van Buren. They pretty much just picked up the design docs from when Interplay went under. Still doesn’t excuse Starfield being as long as it was and as empty as it was, but the genesis of NV was many years before it came out.
