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.

Your post seems great, and a good contribution to this community, so please don't take this comment as rude. I'm trying to be as polite as I can. However, that being said, your title is extremely vague. I would greatly suggest putting more detail in your title next time so people looking at it next to other posts on their "front page" (to use a Reddit analogy) has an idea of what it's about.

Either way, again, great post! (And sorry again if I'm being an asshole. I'm trying not to be. 🙂 )

Their title is perfect, it’s simply the name of the game and opens up any discussion about it rather than inviting a direct critique or agreement of their viewpoint.

No, it is not perfect. Not even close. If everybody wrote just the name of the game they wanted to discuss, the list of posts in a community would just be game titles and nothing else. That would make it very difficult for people to easily distinguish what a post is about (and whether it warrants their attention or interest) without having to go into each and every one.

The reason why you don't see this in action is precisely because it's unhelpful to other people.

The body is their opinion, the title should be an open call.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fine, then, let's just have every post on this sub be just the title of a game and nothing more! :D

We'll then see how well that turns out. -_-

Okay.
