This week, I will be sharing my thoughts on Fallout 4. Fallout 4 is a first-person RPG by Bethesda Softworks (also the creators of the Elder Scrolls series). Fallout 4 was released 2 years ago, and I got the game 6 months ago. In 2 months I beat the campaign and for a few months didn’t touch it. However, in the last month, I decided to play the campaign again this time with mods.
The story of the game is really simple. The player is a mother/father that lost their spouse and missing son. This all happen, when the family was frozen through cryogenic technology. For the rest of the game, you travel the apocalypse/wasteland of Boston. During the game, you can find 13 companions and 3 factions. Companions can help you fight, while the factions help you progress through the game. Personally, my favorite part of the game is the gunplay. The Fallout series has a special gun mechanic called VATS. VATS freezes the action and lets you target enemy body parts. This system is super fun and great for getting headshots.
One of the reasons I decided to play Fallout 4 again, is because of mods. Mods are add-ons created by the community. Mods can be a weapon or a quest. Currently, I am using graphics enhancers and weapon mods. I really like mods, they can add a lot to a vanilla game.
Overall, I really enjoyed the game. Fallout is already a great game without the mods. However, the mods add more fun and gameplay. In the end, I look forward to completing the game a second time.
