Many resources require settler assignment for processing, making for an interesting growth of economy in city-builder-esque spirit. From there, junk and objects can be scrapped for basic building materials - the standard fare of plastics, gears, and woods. Multiple areas in the Commonwealth are designated as “settlements.” Settlements have, shockingly, settlers and a few basic structures present. I played Fallout 4 on the “Normal” difficulty setting, and in this review there will be no storyline information that isn’t immediately revealed.

We’ll later visit subpar performance for average graphics and irritating bugs. Now that the background is established, let’s cover some of the features Bethesda did well on: settlement building, FPS mechanics, weapon and armor modding, and game atmosphere. So begins the game, setting forth on a journey to find a child. After waking up again, we discover that we’re the only one left alive in Vault 111. We’re then awoken, and see our child being taken by two unknown NPCs who’ve just killed our significant other. The basic storyline (note: this only covers the very beginning and initial storyline setup, nothing more) behind Fallout 4 is that a family is cryogenically frozen in Vault 111, after getting in just as the nuclear bombs go off. Fallout 4 has been in development since the release of Fallout 3, a late 2008 launch, and uses the same engine as Skyrim. The newest game in the series is set in Commonwealth of Massachusetts - Boston, specifically. The first-person shooter, role-playing game is based in a futuristic world similar to our own, but diverging on a timeline wrought with nuclear war. After reminiscing about Fallout 3 for years, living through false rumors, and the non-stop recent postings pertaining to Bethesda’s latest game, expectations are at an all-time high.įallout 4 is the much-anticipated continuation of the Fallout series. Living up to the rolling hype-ball generated by Fallout 4 seems nearly impossible.
