[The CandyMew]

hey i been playing fallout new vegas again and i kinda got curious about how good or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the f4 is, so im just asking out, it is worth it? is the story ♥♥♥♥ tier? or does it redeem itself with out mods and also what mods should i use to make it actually enjoyable because i feel like this is like skyrim, ♥♥♥♥ until you mod it

new vegas this is not, the only thing this game does better is the combat and world building

dont buy dont play

[worm_master]

I say BUY, if ya aware of bsoft, and wot ya getting, I got almost 1k800 logged with FO4, it's stable, and relatively bug free, the biggest grope we have, is loading, for some reason sometimes it can take upwards of 5 mins to load a screen.

There is a workaround, simply Alt-Tabbing loads the scene, I'm running it natural, that is right off the download, yeah BUY it, you wont come across anything u didnt find in NV, bug wise hahaha

Without mods. No.

With mods, yes.

But it ain't really New Vegas in quality. I hardly needed mods with New Vegas except for aesthetics.

Definitely worth buying. In MY opinion this is a much better game than New Vegas.

I say not a buy unless you have a real personal need for Fallout stuff. Even so, you missed a big sale. When it goes on sale, F4 is heavily discounted. Like you say, if you want mods then you also pretty much need the entire package of DLC as well. That gets a deep discount, too, but you just missed it.

The main story is trash.

The gameplay is way better than Fallout Vegas. Survival mode is so good.

Wait for the sale.

If you enjoy the kind of gameplay that FNV, FO3, Skyrim, etc offer (the big open world, the exploration, the dungeon clearing, the looting, the crafting/collecting, etc) than you’ll find enjoyment in FO4.

If you like the idea of building/customizing/managing/maintaining various settlements across a post-apocalyptic wasteland you’ll likely pour many hours into that feature alone (even moreso if you start collecting up various mods that add things to build or dramatically expand/flesh out the mechanic like Sim Settlements 2 does).

FO4 can be a lot more fun than NV and FO3, but you’ll find that the commonly held opinion is that it’s not a better RPG than those games nor does it have better writing or a more interesting story.

Wait for a sale. $15 USD is about the right price for an 8 year old game. Buy something else until then. I'm re-playing the vanilla game now, no mods, and it's a hard play. I had forgotten how much of the vanilla game is buggy. It does need mods just to fix many of the vanilla mechanisms before one even thinks about scenery and adding rpg mods. It is primarily a shooter.

[Chaosium]

Short answer: yes
Long answer: oh yeah

There are alternate start mods. You aren't the parent but learn about events in your wanderings and can pursue things if you wish. Even if you do want to play as a parent you don't have to follow the main quest. Either way I just kill the kidnapper and stop there.

There is a lengthy major mod series called Sim Settlements 2. It's a bit rough and buggy. Also requires a good pc. Plus a London mod to be released in April. I also disable other vanilla quests via mods as for me they are a play once and never again.

Searching for your son is kinda the whole first half of the main quest so…not really. Thats like saying you’re looking for a mod that “disables the whole searching for an Elder Scroll” thing from Skyrim.

As Hawkeye said, there are alternative start mods that allow you to create a character and begin a game without being the Sole Survivor from Vault 111 - just like the Live Another Life mod from Skyrim. I’ve never used it so I don’t know how it goes about integrating the main quest into a non-Nate/Nora character’s playthrough.

Regardless, once you get through the tutorial section and emerge from Vault 111 you’re free to do whatever you want and go wherever you want - you don’t have to engage with the main quest at all if you don’t want to.

I dont like when someone has too many set judgements and ideas about a game before even play it once. you seem like already have a decision.. why to bother trying to change it.

In short, question doesnt qualify to be a question in my view. sorry if this feels offensive but thats what i think.
