So I figured it's about time I gave this game a shot.

I'm familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV.

I think the reason why I didn't pick this up earlier was because I didn't feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow.

Of course I'm trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I've never played F76.

The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point?

I'm trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I've helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road.

Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through?

There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven't experimented with any mods just yet.

Just explore and concentrate on vats. Unfortunately with the gutted dialogue system it starts to feel same but it can be fun. Concentrate on vats perks as it still has thar janky Fallout aim system:X

Interesting take. I very, very rarely use vats. My aim is much better, and certainly much faster.

Why do you have issues with the aiming system? I am making an assumption you are playing with a mouse and keyboard....

That was two New Vegas and one VR title. Fallout 4 aiming doesn't seem bad at all. You can manage with a sniper rifle as good as any other game. There is a slight chance that one of the mods I applied might have improved it, I havent looked through them, but it seems to me that FO4 was not nearly as bad as 3 and NV by default.

Globally it's always been a problem, I just shared as they were the easiest to find on my washroom break xD. The aim assist is much stronger.. to strong.. if you turn it off same Ole though..
