So I figured it’s about time I gave this game a shot.

I’m familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV.

I think the reason why I didn’t pick this up earlier was because I didn’t feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow.

Of course I’m trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I’ve never played F76.

The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point?

I’m trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I’ve helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road.

Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through?

There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven’t experimented with any mods just yet.

3rd person aim is awesome, you get a cross hair to aim with instead of whatever random sight the gun has, it changes size based on the gun’s stats and your limb damage. Guns don’t block a good chunk of the screen either. Scopes still zoom in to the same view.

Guns don’t block a good chunk of the screen either.

But YOU do! That is why I do not like third person, I do not want to see me. All immersion is lost! \

But I started up my game, moused out to third person, and the gun sight didnt change at all. It is the same cross hairs based on gun accuracy either way.
