In fact, the writing is really a weakness of this game, falling gravely short of even Fallout 3 which has a heavily dumbed down clone of Fallout 2’s stories without any of the brilliance. Nor does it have the writing excellence of Fallout: New Vegas. It’s not much like the first two Fallout games, which are isometric turn-based RPGs with far more role-playing, and far more challenging and tactical gameplay that’s obviously more limited than the open world Fallout 4. If you look at it as an improved version of Fallout 3, using some ideas from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, then you have the right idea. It is the same type of game as Fallout 3. You can also adjust HUD opacity as with their previous games.įallout 4 is a third-person and first-person game, allowing the player to choose at a whim. A small feature that goes a really long way. It is cool that the game lets you choose any HUD color and any Pip-Boy color you want, by providing RGB sliders for each. Configuration Tool is recommended since it’s easy to use and has other options like disabling the intrusive compass. You must edit two INI files manually (follow this guide to do so) or use Fallout 4 Configuration Tool (which is a GUI application that edits the INIs for you). Note that there is no built-in method for changing FOV or disabling mouse acceleration. In it you can configure graphics options (you can’t configure most of them in-game), mod files, and other settings. But hey, this way you can be sure you’re getting an unbiased review.įallout 4 includes a launcher which you must go through to launch the game. That, and because we don’t receive the game early to review. The reason our review is later than usual is because Fallout 4 is an absolutely massive scale game, and we really seek to know the game inside and out before delivering a review. Note that as of December 7, 2015, mod support is partially broken and a workaround is needed to get modded files to work (Nexus Mod Manager is the easiest one, and be sure to not use Fallout 4’s launcher and use Fallout 4 Configuration Tool instead).


Mods have already been available for a long time on Nexusmods, and Steam Workshop support is promised for 2016.

Fallout 4 is a multiplatform action role-playing game, although being made by Bethesda Game Studios you can expect lots of catering to the PC version.
