Topic	Thinking of getting Fallout 4
InfestedAdam 02/10/18 9:01:58 PM #41:	Depending on who you ask, Fallout 4 is a good game but not a good Fallout game. If anything I see FO4 more like a wasteland mod of Skyrim than a Fallout game. I've read some folks suggest FO4 wouldn't receive the flack it did if it wasn't called a Fallout game. I can kinda agree with this. For example I personally viewed Deus Ex: Invisible Wars the same. Its a good game but not a good Deus Ex game. By calling it a Deus Ex game I go in expecting certain aspects of a Deus Ex game and when those aspects are missing, I'm already less than satisfy even if I thought the gameplay was enjoyable. Of course you also have fans like me who weren't 100% happy with the changes from Fallout and Fallout 2 to Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas but overtime learned to appreciate the good aspects of the game. I miss the black humor of FO and FO2 but feel FO3 and FO:NV does a better job with the immersion. I don't mind the isometric view of the earlier Fallout games but the controls do feel archaic nowadays. I briefly played FO4 during the free weekend and might pick it up while the sale is still on. For better or worse we'll not getting another STALKER game anytime soon so FO4 with mods might be the closest thing I'll get. I'd admit though, one thing I feel FO4 did maybe better is limiting you to certain perks/builds based on your SPECIAL stats. I know previous Fallout games did the same but it was kinda easy to get around that with a high Intelligence and maxing out your skills. In my current playthrough in FO:NV I have a Charisma of 1 but Intelligence of 10. It was simple to max out my Speech and Barter skills due to my high Intelligence despite my very low Charisma. In the initial release of FO:NV we had a level cap of 30 so could only go so far with our skills and had to specialize. Granted with the four DLCs and our level cap at 50 now it is simple to max out all skills by 50. Our perks are still limited by our SPECIAL stats but with all skills at 100, it is relatively easy to get through most/all situations even if we're missing certain perks. --- "You must gather your party before venturing forth" "Go for the eyes Boo!
