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.

    If you want to do the settlement building, get the local leader perk 2, it will allow you to share resource with all the settlement you have, provided you assign a settler to do it. Better yet, mod that perk in, i think it’s an essential feature locked behind 2 perk point and some charisma stats, since the story treat you like a high charisma anyway.

    Melee is totally viable, couple with sneak and Blitz perk it you can clear an area easily. Run if you hear beeping noise coming at you.
