So where to begin with this overpriced expansion? Well it's massive! That can't be overstated so many extra features! Unfortunately we all know why this expansion was delayed, a silly added 3d gimmick. Yes it looks amazing and I understand paradox, they're charging for missed profit because of time (no excuse). Sadly/ gratefully I can't imagine playing this game without royal court installed, hence why this is a positive review. 6-7/10! No question. Well actually a couple major questions:

*Will the 3d be utilized in the future without wasted development time?
*Will there be future free updates, and extra features released before the next content patch?
(*Are you a literal millionaire or getting a few review copy?) -- This can't be overstated as a problem in the reviewing community! Sadly only time will tell if this expansion is really worth $30. More if your in Europe I hear.

If Paradox meets these expectations, doesn't charge so much in the future, I'll forgive them this once. Twice shame on me.

The only other review I ever posted was for fallout new vegas. In my mind that was the only game out there worth playing. The reasoning being it was a Roleplaying Game brought into the modern gaming world. So with that said the stardards of this review will be to piortize the role playing aspect of Fallout first and formost. Second is rather or not it is an immersive game world because these two aspect of what Fallout 4 will determine on rather you Truely enjoy the game or not.


Good is an ineffable quality, with that said in the context of fallout here the good and bad:

1. The voice acting (main charater). If you decided to play as Female like have then you'll be glad to here that the protagist voice can fit just about any charater, rather good, evil, black and or white, all races, eithicites, all backrounds or back stories are easliy supported by her voice acting. With that said as a proud owner of a pair of ball it was fustraiting to create and mold my survival mode male charater around that annoying plain adverge white American voice, (personality included)! but overall I don't mind the voice acting it modernizes the game and I'm sure for 19.95 they'll eventually add in some more options, Why!? because they can make money off it.

2. No Karama System. "There is no Karama System, This game isn't immersive, There isn't engough ways to mold my charater". -- Every Fallout 3 fan boy. You can't boil every decision down to either 'good' or 'bad' as I just said it's an ineffable quality why should my charater gain Karama for killing some one who is supposedly evil but I never really got the chance to know. In Fallout 4 if I were to just walk into the mayor's office and kill him everyone else would become hostile, why?, Because that makes logical sence!! Guess what he end's up being evil but you just don't go into someone's office and shot them for no legitment reason. They are consequences to your actions. And by actually doing your reasearch you, you your charater get's to decide on rather or not what you did was a good thing, Exsample, Covenant one of the first places you get to make differance with the settlement system.

3. Settlements. as listed above, covenant, bunker hill, two exsamples of where your actions and contrubions matter. If you side with the Railroad or just get far enough in their quest line you are task with creating a safe house using the settlement system. And already 2 or 3 of them are already established. The game world is alive and as you pick up on more of the lore you learn that your actually rebuilding. The Commonwealth used to a bit of a stable place for trader's and setter's but has John Handcock said in the trailer the institute is the real enemy not the raider or the gunner's or anyone else. The world is alive and you are the general the man or women out of time the one with the experience necessary to create a world that's worth living in again.

4. The protagonist & viable factions. Now that I've already delved into such of the controversy let's put that final nail in my coffin and talk about the factions. I'm not sure if anyone was upset the enclave didn't return but I thought that was a good move; a really good move. They didn't need to be in Fallout 4, not to say they couldn't have made a lovly addion but like in Fallout 2 when they were first introduced focusing on the faction's in town is much more important. The minutemen are a terrific installment into the world of the waste land I just wish they had more of presence instead of being an army of one but I'd give a 6/10 above adverge for new ideas into an already established game franchise. Now as for the gunner, they're a bit of a copy and paste from the auto hostile bad guys from the previous game (3/10). But now we walk and venture into the the institute the boogie men of the wasteland. These are the bad guys, these are also the good guys it's all a matter or perspective and no spoiler their is a reason why you and you the main charater can takes these guys down. 10/10 now mind not all will find these guys as intresting as caesar's legion but damn do they do their job.

5. The Commonwealth. "The super mutant's retured this is stupid, this is stupid", said anyone ever and even I can't argue that one. But is it as bad as Fallout 3, oh hell it's worse. They're everywhere but everything else is so perfect. This ain't nothing like the capital wasteland this here is the commonwealth. And for someone who live's in the DC area, and actually knows some of the people behide the scenes at Bethesda, this is the city govenment not the company otherwise I would have slapped somesence into them and the result would be Fallout 4. Everyone seams real. The world seams real. Yes it is kind of choatic but human civilation still kinda of exsist in Fallout 4. The brotherhood is real and they're kinda of a bit of a ♥♥♥♥ and not everyone just automatically trust them. Wow, game immersion right there. 'The D.C wasteland is warzone', ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ welcome to Boston where the battles feel real and meaningfull I just wish the respawn rate was turned down a notch. But this ♥♥♥♥ is the ♥♥♥♥.


Where does this game stand well here is my offical rankings of the fallout games:

1. Fallout New Vegas (The Best)
2. Fallout 2 (The King of rpg's)
3. Fallout 4 (The Cool Kid on the Block)
4. Fallout 1 (The originator of awsome)
5. Fallout Tactics (Because at least it has fallout in the title)
6. What every games comes out next
7. I think that's all of them
8. Of wait oh ♥♥♥♥, Fallout 3

100+ hours and I barly scratched the surface of this game, to be fare about 40 of them went to the load screen while doing something else. My first playthrough was more so of a play it just to have a fun adventure, but by the end I relized how much I was missing. Role playing in this game and complete all the litttle side quest will take well above my 100 hours. In fact even when bullshiting the game Like I did, it takes 30+ hours. For game that took 18 months to make, it has given me atleast that much, if not more months of fun. Right now I'm replaying the game, and it's only funneir the second, third, and hell even a forth time around. For each time you play you learn a little bit more about the game, you wish you knew before.
