Yes, it is.

[Hedan234]

FPS RPG. It incorporates a lot of shooter aspects.

[Ruin]

Player choice is not obligatory in an RPG, and there have been countless of RPG's over the years which are perfectly linear, where by the player merely moves the story forward, without any decision making what so ever...

Besides, you're being forced as it's an important part of the narrative in this conversation, and choosing the "wrong" answer, would have likely stalled it...

No, it's a mash-up of FPS/TPS and settlement management simulator.

This is probably the worst response yet, can't tell if they're serious or sarcastic either.
Hopefully the latter.

yes. i just started a new game no concord. finish off kellog and beat the gauntlet at lvl 17. my tune is now the raider queen of nuka world. i guess i have played the preston way so many times i could allienate him.we will se that is my next choice.

Feels like an rpg to me, not an overly complex one but there are still choices to be made and many you can talk your way thru if you have enough carisma. you still have to rely on your attributes for most of the games actions and with the inclusion of survival mode it reinforces the need for settlements and carefull play. I dont find its that diferent from fallout 3 and even if theres a stronger fps component, the shooting is so imensely better than previous games i really dont mind. Overall the game sandbox factor allows a lot of playstyles and roleplaying to be made, but sometimes depends on how you can make your own fun and immersion

It's an action RPG. Not a shooter.

[MaximumEffort]

Yes

Yes it is.
RPGs don't always have complete narrative freedom, nor is that required to be classified as one.
I RP just fine in this game.

Every Fallout game is great IMO, but the MQ is nothing to get excited about in any of them.
It's the world, and how you choose to approach it that makes it an RPG.
You can walk away from most situations if you choose.

its like looter shooter downgrading most of dialogue role playing from 3 and new vegas

Bethesda hasn't made a real rpg since daggerfall. morrowind, oblvion, fallout 3, new vegas, skyrim and fallout 4 are just action games with some light rpg elements on top made to pander to the trogldyte console crowd. thank Julianos for mods.


and yes Obsdian fan boys bethesda did make new vegas the fact 60% of the game is reused fallout 3 assets means its still mostly bethesdas handy work even with the half assed aditions of van braun the old interplay fallout 4's story elements.


mwha ha ha ha I shall out elite even the most cring worthy rpg purists! unless someone starts fanboying for tabletop pnp game...

Good work, chief. I'm sure OP was waiting all these years for your answer.
