Fallout 4

Fallout New Vegas DESTROYS Fallout 4 in every aspect except graphics and gunplay. But everything else - quests, choices, dialogue, leveling up, story writing is miles better than FO4.

Even Fallout 3 is better than 4, but I would say both of them suck.

Fallout 2 is great, Fallout 1 is good. Both of them feel very dated now and are not 3D but isometric, but still are classic and for 1998 - state of the art.

Fallout 76 will be a piece of shit boring wasteland for 12 year old's to punch each other and jump around, filled with bugs, de-sync, griefing, immersion breaking nonsense and no mods to save it.

I have killed a supermutant in FO4 once. He had a note on him which said:

KILL.LOOT.RETURN.

And that's the summary of FO4. The devs know, It's their inside joke. The players are as dumb as generic supermutants.

I have played all FO games including Tactics. Currently at 1301 hours in FO4. I agree that story wise NV was better than FO3. It could use a bit more grimdark and mature/dark humour from FO 1 and 2.

Although I will not play FO 76 due to it being an MMO, I hope it will succeed as I love the setting. Personally I am hoping for a single player game set in the NCR ( perhaps travelling by train or car like in FO2 ). Or failing that a game set in New York ( we're running out of big and famous cities like this )

My favorite thing about Fallout 4; the companions. As much as I love Skyrim, these were a massive step up in every way. The only downside is that I couldn't romance Deacon, but oh well.

If it wasn't for the mods I wouldn't have finished Fallout 4. The main story quest was not engaging & I cared more about my crops then my kid. However, Fallout 4 did give me Hancock & for that I thank it mightily. I never finished New Vegas which is a shame since everyone says it's the best.

I got the game two weeks ago.

I like the dialogue, it's dynamic but there's enough consistency for the character type I like to play (lawful good/lawful nice, traditional paladin-esque, very wholesome sort and all that good stuff; or as much as I can be given that it's Fallout)

Helping the Minutemen is very cool, and as the General, I can serve as an example and inspiration throughout the Commonwealth.
Plus artillery; when in doubt, call in an artillery strike.

I have the holotape that Codsworth held for me, the one titled: "Hi Honey"...

I am not going to listen to it until I reach the end of the game, and Nora's Wedding Ring is always in my inventory no matter what.

If I never listen to the tape, then she's not really gone...

I found a machete that has a chance to set enemies on fire on hit while hunting down Kellogg.
Talking with him was... brief, and I just kept hacking away until he died, then I took out my pistol and shot him in the head, blowing it to pieces.

This game makes me feel a lot of things.
The music that played when I fought the first deathclaw in power armor wielding a chain-gun felt very messianic.
Very much a "FEAR NOT. I AM WITH YOU." feel.

It was glorious.

Sometimes trying to protect all the settlements is, well, trying...
But then I remind myself that Nora wouldn't want me to give up, and Shaun is still out there, so I will fight the good fight for as long as I can.

I must.

Because war, war never changes.

I did once walk him back to Sanctuary Hills, to be sure he made it.
It was the dumbest route, taking the best part of 36 hours of game time past deathclaws and all sorts...
