Returning player, worth replaying this?

[Djin]

Hi all!
I’ve played this game at launch and loved the shizzleout of it.

Question is, is it worth re-downloading and buying all the dlc for a second run?

I noticed there have been quite a few more dlc’s for this game but also noticed the negative review as of late and saw one in particular review mentioning a bazterd1zed steam workshop where you have to pay for user mods.

This sounds really bad but form the keen fall out players how bad is it?

[Flippy]

Maybe the best game available. To bad really but there it is.

IMO, it is.

Choose different paths in the main story and DLCs, build different settlements at different locations...you name it.

It says volumes. It says the industry is producing garbage mostly. It says this game is most likely the best game available at the moment, a game from 2015. It says even more.

Also, the ranting about "paid mods" concerns the Creation Club, a platform where you can buy content from a store using pre-paid credits and microtransactions in-game. These are entire optional, and mostly reskins of items already present in the base game.

The actual DLC packages, such as Far Harbor or Nuka World are well worth it.

Despite the s**t storm, and putting opinions to one side, yes! it is still worth playing :)

It is also worth bearing in mind, that sales to Bethesda for the game and it's official DLC sends a clear message of the products that Bethesda should be offering us.

So buy that game and the DLC. The Far Harbor and Nuka World DLC does add more worth-while content, albeit lacking in fallout RPG-ness, but you can use mods to help you tailor the game to how you want it.

Reverb and Ambiance overhaul creates sound effects for not only ballistic characteristics of weapon fire, but also adds a richer element to the environmental sound too.

There are others that do this, but when you fire off a Laser Rifle with this mod installed.. you will never want to look back :)

Other good games? Kenshi, Mechwarrior Online, both on Steam check them out is a must. Mechwarrior is online of course and plagued by trolls and isnt easy to get good at but you have been warned. Excellent game.

+1 that is an awesome mod

Due to the internal disagreements of our current community over CC, it is best to ignore the reviews for the moment.

Get the season pass if money is not a concern. Far harbor, Nuka, and I would add automatron are great dlc's IMHO.

There are also amazing settlement mods on nexus if thats your thing.

When your educated about CC make up your own mind and vote with your wallet, dont listen to us jabber in like idiots :)

[Hampamatta]

the negative reviews is a basicly a form of protest to show that the community do not like what they did. BUT, its nothing that going to actually affect you, the game is still the same.

and to answer you question, yes. its worth playing again especialöly if you want to mod. as there are litteral ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of mods available now.

and for the DLC's well thats up to you, but i would atleast reccomend far harbour. thats a very good DLC to be honest.

[moonracer]

If you haven't played the DLC, I'd say it is worth a replay. Nuka World and Far Harbor are both very good DLCs that will extend the playtime quite a bit.

I'd also suggest you take a look at my overhaul mod "Lunar Fallout" on the Nexus if you want to change the feel of the game. Even if you don't use it, there is a list of recommended mods like the above mentioned Reverb and Ambiance on the mod page.

There are also other overhaul mods that are well done and change the balance of the game significantly.

Still on my first playthrough, just about gave up on the missions lol between the crafting and nexus mods way too fun - just about to hit 400h, so IMHO well worth a replay for sure. My only gripes are the occasional texture glitches and the CC haters (which I get what they are saying, and do agree completely, but geez...)

[Xyzzy]

2nd best game you can get. 1st is TDU2 of course.
yes get it, very replayable.

Definitely worth a shot. Whatever improvements have been made have made the game much more enjoyable on my hardware. Initially I had very bad framerate and a lot of graphical bugs.

I suggest playing on survival difficulty. This setting completely changes the "feel" of playing the game. You are forced to be aware of your surroundings constantly, even in places you've already traveled through. Perks that IMO are marginal become far more powerful, namely many of the endurance perks such as lead belly aND ghoulish. Unlike hard and very hard, on survival both your weapons and those of NPCs do much more damage. The fights feel much more like a desperate life or death affair than on the other settings.

If you liked the game it is definatly worth it frankly all the hours I have played it and I still find things, places and random encounters I missed before.

[Ernasty]

Super worth it. Though I'm biased since I'm a huge FO fan.
