Still worth buying in 2025?

I'm a skyrim guy, been moddin that thing since 2014 but never got to try falllout 4. I played modded FNV wayback and others has been telling me this game is boring and too empty.

i mean. you can always play fallout 4 london. from GOG.

If you got through Skyrim you will love how much more there is in Fallout 4's map and exploration...

The main difference will be the modern setting. I personally hated what I played of skyrim, because it was dull as dust to me, largely due to the fantasy setting (and the fact that it was RELENTLESSLY GREY).

If you're in doubt you should watch some let's plays or clips on youtube - there are a LOT of things to do in the game, beyond just one or another of the quests. The companions are varied, the dialog options are ..... not much varied lol. But their personalities are fun anyway, and offer a very wide variety of options for getting perks and abilities when you keep them around a while.

Settlement building is something that is incredibly divisive among Fo4 players, some of us really do almost nothing but this, others cannot stand it and skip whatever they can of it. Thankfully there's only a small amount 'required' to do in the full game if you don't want to. But if you do, there's a zillion mods for additional stuff and locations.

Modded Fallout 4 is even more amazing, but vanilla with the GOTY edition is still quite playable. I put 400 hours into my first vanilla run, before even touching a single mod.

You may also need mods to help the game be stable depending on your system.

All in all, I would suggest that you are the only one who could know what you want out of the game. Do some watching of videos, just to get a basic visual or explore appraisal!

Most of us wouldn't be here with as many posts if we didn't enjoy it - bugs and all, and yes there's a ton of those too.

I would buy it on steam for better support so you can downgrade fallout 4 for mods that need downgrading cause the other way is 3rd party software and you need to use your steam log in info what I don't recommend. I recommend steam version so you can download from steam console depot.

STEAM - Skip Next-Gen update "Mod to go along with this guide"

8K hours in fallout 4 but about 75% is when I was creating mods and testing mods for people.

WARNING TO ALL IF YOU USED THE THIRD PARTY DOWNGRADE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD ASAP!!!!!

Amazing background, thank you for the insights you guys put into this dumb question of mine.

Just bought the game, guess another modding exploration for me.

Thanks, I could still mod this game properly right with next-gen update installed? I'm preparing another instance of MO2

Thinking to using that automated tool instead. Any thoughts on that one?

[FN]

or might just use steam console instead and be safe than sorry.

You should play vanilla first all the way through so you know what your computer and you want out of the game, before diving into a buggy full-conversion mod.

So no, you should not downgrade until you know what you need from the current game.

Its certainly not empty, I would honestly say the commonwealth is even more rich and interesting than Tamriel. For as cheap as it gets on sale I consider both the main game and its two expansions worth it.

[shiftydarkshadows]

well after u play a none modded version of fallout 4 you might also enjoy the Story Wealth collection on Vortex.

Started with mods now plus reactor enb. Running great currently. Thanks guys.

I hope you enjoy! Just remember that without a vanilla run to know what is or isn't a basic bug, troubleshooting mods is much more difficult than just the plain game.

Looks nice though!

Thanks, my skyrim modding experience might help with this one. As I've created many modlist on that one and modified ones too.
