Official Fallout 4 Thread

The game disappointed me, the ending is really, really stupid. I mean it didn't even really follow Fallout tradition and give us an idea of what happened. I built all those settlements for nothing, the island even had an aircraft hangar with my power armour in it. Okay kind an aircraft hangar :-)

Wow, a HD texture pack that only people with the best GFX card available can use...

Must be very detailed textures.

In most games hig-res textures packs don't seem to have that big a hit on performance, I'm gonna take a wild guess and put it down to the Creation Engine used used by Bethesda, you ramp up the textures and the gpu takes a hit ala skyrim.

My GTA V is loaded with reshade&ENB and has a schiteload of high res textures, the only thing the textures seem to do is eat vram which I have enough of.

Trying to decide if I want to start playing this or Skyrim again. Initially thought Skyrim and noticed I have special edition available so installed that only to realise that although my old saves work, none of the mods I used do and SE isn't compatible with the old mods.

Have you played Fallout 3 or Oblivion yet? IMO both are better than their newer counterparts.

If you really want to go down the rabbit hole, prepare 300 hours of your life for Morrowind. You'll spend the first 50 hours just learning how to play it but if you stick to it you'll see that it is honestly one of the best games ever made, even by today's standards :)

Agreed but for me Morrowind > Fallout 3 NV > Oblivion > F3 > F4 > Skyrim.

Oblivion blew my mind and would be higher if I didn't love New Vegas so much. Subjective of course.
 
In the TES series I've done everything, actually started with daggerfall and then went back to arena before Morrowind came out.

Agree with all the sentiments though, Morrowind is a brilliant game.

In the fallout series I've only played 4. Guess I'll give 3 and NV a go as I have them in my library but never played them.

Time to go look for mods.

My opinion.

Skyrim is the best The Elder Scrolls to date, but the best questline is Oblivion: Shivering Isles and probably the best expansion created to date. Morrowind is good, no argue there, but the game is overburdened. I am waiting on the Morrowind indie remake, Skywind.

New Vegas is a better game than Fallout 3 mechanically. Fallout 2 was the last proper RPG in the Fallout series. However, Bethesda has managed to keep the predecessor series core elements alive within Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Then they made Fallout 4 which is nothing more than an open-world shooter with quest elements, mechanically the game is more an FPS than to be positioned in the action role-playing genre, and they had to add sandboxing which tangles with questlines. The only thing keeping Fallout 4 Fallout is the lore.
