I swear #Fallout4 respects the players time and attention less than any major title in the last ten years. The game goes out of its way in several ways to just underscore how little it understands these things.
Going back to my earlier criticism: there is a third of four different games in Fallout 4 and those thirds don't play nicely together.
#Fallout4 is like… "Okay I know I am missing my kidnapped son, my spouse was brutally murdered by unknown individuals, and I'm hundreds of years out of place, but my absolute Number One priority is going to be rescuing this cat who just ran away"
Really I think my final analysis on #Fallout4 is something like "this game contains a third from four separate games, each of those games is inherently enjoyable on its own, but they don't actually work together particularly well and each part often end up getting in the way of the other parts"
My "Almost vanilla" run of #Fallout4 is becoming less and less vanilla.
Added three more "must have" mods this morning: One to auto-skip 30 minutes of utterly abhorring puzzle gaming (I am not a puzzle person) and two to stop vertibirds (think helicopters) from exploding mid air because someone shot at it with a spitball and straw.
I find myself selling several great legendary drops because they would make the game too easy or simply look stupid. A plasma thrower that freezes people? Nah. Too dumb, off to the trader you go.
Would be fun to know how many people outside of the US even knew the Minutemen was a historical group. I never learned about them. I knew about them only because of being married to an American woman.
Okay... I love the Railroad, I am one of the few who always side with them, but i think they are taking the term "dead drop" too literally when they put one in the middle of a supermutant village.
I must say that although I have had far, far less problems than a lot of players the new update for #Fallout4 has made the game start crashing to desktop roughly once an hour just like in it's first two years.
I am... worried that Bethesda might not want to restart all patching they have done for the years after 2015...
I'm supposed to get the Deliverer handgun but I've been using an explosive powerful pipe pistol for basically the last 20 levels and I don't see myself stopping any time soon. It was a rifle for ages but I swapped stock out and it's damage shot up as I've got 2 ranks of Gunslinger. #Fallout4
Also Aquaboy is so overpowered. You don't take rads from swimming AND you can breathe underwater? I don't think I've ever taken it before but I'm going to take it every time now. #Fallout4
Not being able to fast travel is interesting. It makes the game a lot frickin' longer because you have to walk everywhere but on the flip side you see a lot more of the map. That said, it's still a ballache to get from diamond city or bunker hill back up to Sanctuary. #Fallout4#Survival
I finally rescued Preston et al as I wanted to send them to Hangman's Alley, which is more centrally located, with all my scrap from Sanctuary and Red Rocket but I need to unlock him as a companion first. #Fallout4#Survival
Man, fuck this game. I did a quick no sleep save at a random sleeping bag, which just happened to be right next to a frag mine, I didn't see, so when I came out of the sleep dialogue, I exploded almost immediately. The game saved though so when I loaded back in I just explode again #lolsob. Fortunately I have learned to save every time I can so my last save point was only a few minutes prior. #Fallout4
