FALLOUT 4 Official Thread v.5: Travis Miles Edition

[Metal_Daze]

Really? I though Nv had by far the worst of all fallout map. Also dont care for the story much at all. After i get to NV i legit lose any interest in the game honestly. However Lonesome Road was a good dlc and Old World blues was fantastic.

I'm on the same boat. I really liked the game before reaching Vegas. Then, I lost a little interest but still finished it. I thought all DLC were great but Lonesome and Blues did stand out. In the last years, I only played NV to explore those DLC, no more Vegas run for me!

I would like to know why. I was never a big fan of Fallout games: I played Fallout 3 but never finished it. I finished New Vegas but never replayed it. Yet, I'm absolutely loving Fallout 4: 1000 hours in, at least 5 different complete playthrough, a dozen partial playthough, extensive use of mods, creation of character builds, I'm totally invested. I must say, I'm not a hardcore gamer normally: I don't have a "list of games", I play one game and I stick with it until I find a new one.

The only other game I put 1000 hours into was Civilization V. It took me YEARS to get to 1000 but I reached that number in a matter of months in Fallout 4. I must admit I'm a big fan of Bethesda games. I have played Skyrim a lot but never to the extent I'm playing Fallout 4. When there's gameplay involved and character creation and development, I'm all in!

Fallout 4 might be the best game I played since Diablo back in 1997!

Odd.

I loved fallout 3, fallout nv was decent, fallout 4 was a huge letdown to what i expected and without settlement building i would've never replayed it except for the dlcs honestly.

Settlement building and Far Harbor were the only 2 legit great things about fallout 4 imo.

I have yet to get Fallout 4, perhaps soon. Fallout 3 is definitely one of my favorite games of all times. I can spend hours just exploring and it always seems like something new happens. NV simply did not hold my interest as long. Yes, better story, but the map was pretty boring and with no random encounters exploring got stale quick.

I think Fallout 4 is about what I expected a Fallout 3 sequel would feel like. New Vegas seemed a little too cartoony for me.

I really am blaming having kids. The eldest is three years old and the baby is one, so the only free time I get is a couple of hours in the evening (less when I'm working the late shift). Fallout is too big a game for me to enjoy in 1 hour increments.

Spoiler

Also I'm finding the nature of the main story discourages me from exploring sidequests. Murdered wife and missing kid seems like it should be a top priority.

I feel like adoption is the right answer here. Or tell them you're all taking a trip to Disneyland and along the way, drop them off in some isolated gas station.

That's what I wanted to say, you nailed it. When I reached Vegas and met the Talking Robot, I lost a lot of immersion. Before that, I had fun. Even the casinos were kind of fun but as soon as I met this guy, I hated him.

Lucky for me, Mr. House was voiced by Rene Auberjonois and I'm a big fan. That saved the game for me...

Fallout 3 NV is more like F1 and F2 in character than F3.

Agreed. Wayne Newton was a key edition. I do not recognize any of the voice talent in Fallout 4. Fallout 4 is still a great game, but suffers from the same issue attached to all of the first-person fallouts; it is repetitive.

No excuse bro. Married with two kids and on active duty.

I just played through and finished New Vegas for the first time and I can say that the story and maps is way cooler in NV than 4.

But dear god does the combat suck in NV compared to 4. Plus no settlements sucks too.

NV was hard as shit for me. The Legion was either just beyond OP or I was trash, haha. I always had to run away when I ran into a group. NEVER could take them out.

I did like the story though. Mr House & the smiley face guy brought teh chillz

Yeah, probably my least favorite map too out of 3, NV & 4. Just felt like there was a lot of empty space & mountains taking up space. Not a bad map...just...I don't know.

NV tried to stick much closer to the Fallout and Fallout 2 to it's detriment. In making Fallout 3 Bethesda seemed to realize that some of the elements from the original games would not carry over that well moving into a 3D, fist person environment. When Obsidian made NV they did not take the same care.

Hopped back on this week. Been working on my vault. Gave up on it pretty quick when I first got the DLC but now it's coming along quite nicely. Plan on making this shit faaaaaat, lol. It's just so much space.

Did you make a vault, @TeTe?

Nice! Quite impressive. Mine has quite a different style so far...
Yours is cleaner looking than mine, lol. & is everybody hiding?

lol I went with the open air concept. I'm not sure but at the time I think I only had like eight vault dwellers. All I added on the top floor was a bathroom to put that shower and toilet in and another couple of bedrooms because I had gotten up to like 15 settlers later on.

I forgot to mention.. at the beginning of my video you see the vault girl statue with the thumbs up and that electrical arcing above her thumb? The electrical sparking was a glitch in my game from when I first started building that shit for the DLC missions. I removed a bad connection but that sparking never went away. I decided after I built my whole vault to use that statue right there to make it look fancy.

I did notice that & was kind of curious about what you did there. Good shit.

If anyone is interested heres a new mod that overhalls Fallout 4 to give it much more of a dark, horror type atmosphere with lots of options.
