It doesn't matter since the game has no value as an RPG

you should start by playing a better game

It doesn't matter.

I tried replaying the game as a pure melee after going guns blazing.

It was enjoyable neither time, and I gave up after a few hours with the second runthrough.

>New DLC is out
>I have said DLC
>I still can't get the urge to play

Since the OP was general as hell, let's talk mods. Are there any decent F4 mods out yet that make it worth playing? What happened to that dev kit?

wow thank you

uninstall and play a better game

pretty good joke havent hear this original comment before xd

>builds
>Fallout 4

its not a joke though

its not an RPG, but what makes it a bad game? Just because you didnt get your specific needs in a new Fallout game?

This. But you're probably set on it, so more realistically this:
okay we done with this thred

Games decent to play if you get that damage mod
It's like everyone takes 3x damage, you and the enemies

The amount of useless ammo you get in this game is ridiculous.

This game is so shit.

>its not an RPG
>but what makes it a bad game

Is this some sort of test?

it's a pretty clear question. What do you think makes it a bad game

Uninstall, install New Vegas.

Off yourselves.

No seriously, are you fucking with me?

yeah xD

...

Its still shit I meant its manageable with mods
The dialogue is so cringey tho fuck man

>makes it a bad game

Not being an RPG is a start. That and being a linear experience with every single thing you do being a railroaded to hell.


youtube.com/watch?v=vp61CWg8XY0

While yeah it was a beautiful atmosphere, everything else is garbage. The design for the environment including flora and fauna is great but when you mix that with the horrific voice acting, terrible RPG choices, simplistic glitches and technical failures, and overall uselessness of half the game, you get yourself one big steamer of a game.

define manageable

even with mods it's still the worst game in recent times

I've played about 4 hours of it with these mods, and it's just unbearable. Trying to insert false challenge like no saving and no fast traveling while leaving your weapons OP as fuck just shows how retarded bethesda is.

Again like 3, it's only quality is looking around. That's it.

I actually finished the game in 4 hours. I just did the story and nothing else. I was so anxious to go back to NV. I got it for $10 so that's alright.

Melee/Survival mode/Institute
Balls of steel mode, mang, the elevator ride down to get the reactor core is hell on earth

it just a modified engine of the old game. its fucking clunky ..
the music and art is better than the actual game.


But its your money and you can waste your time staring at a screen same way as me.

I was close to the end. I got to the institute and hated how i-pod sleek everything was.

uninstall.exe

underrated post

There's only one build in Fallout.

Concerned Parent

The game barely let's you anything evil without it breaking.

Play NV, it's miles better, and actually resembles a Fallout game.

>There's only one build in Fallout.

Forgot the 4.

how would you rec playing new vegas?

there are no factions in fallout4; you can be on all sides simultaneously right up until you have to go kill another faction off.

no builds either for that matter, since every useful perk can be gotten in any playthrough thanks to no level cap + idiot savant giving stupid amounts of XP even with high INT

>hear about gunners being merc
>maybe I can hire one
>they attack me for no reason

>oh boy Children of Atom
>let's see what they have to say
>they attack me for no reason

This game is fucking retarded.

>which type of weapon do I kill everything with
>which faction do I do the last quest for
>which gender do I choose

There are your only choices. This shouldn't be that hard.

Caesar's Legionnaire. Nothing but Melee, kill all who sell drugs or their bodies or commit anything that would be considered a crime in our time.

I wish you could join the Khans and make them great again.

go nuts
don't wiki anything unless absolutely necessary
pay attention to the conversations

>put ghoul 'settlement' in glowing sea
>absolutely nothing in it, not even a minor quest
>ghoulification is even a fucking perk
>can't actually become ghoul-skinned or join church of Atom or do jack fucking shit

i am still struggling to understand what was even the point of making fallout 4, it has no message or moral or purpose to it, it's as aimless and meandering in-game as it is overall as a product

Not the user you're looking for, but does anyone have the map that was posted of new vegas with the locations of the respawning powder ganger groups circled? I want to go on an explosives-only run

Okay, I think i'm gonna go with Caesar's this next playthough. haven't done that before. Thanks

I don't know how anyone can play this game more than once. Twice at the VERY most.

Nostalgic cash-in since Fallout 3 was a big hit. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the last game.

Reason for making Fallout 4.

$ $ $ $

They're already remaking fucking Skyrim.

Bethesda are pure 100% cancer.

>fun is subjective
deal. with. it.
or not, dealing with it is subjective

Yeah but HOW are people having fun with this game?

fraghero.com/report-leak-confirms-fallout-5-development-pre-production-already-begun/

Just don't play the game. Play 3 or NV instead. Better yet, just play 1 or 2.

The fact that you're an easily entertained child is objective though.

>What build/faction/etc should i do
Why?
You can do them all at once.

Kill me

>Fallout 4
>Build

The fuck?

>hurr durr I finished fallout 4 in a few hours

Look, most guys here are casuals, and I dont mean that as a meme, just stating the facts.

I havent played a videogame this much since I was a kid. Fallout 4 is great, install Ultra Realistic mods, and play on survival. 1 headshot = Dead, both you and enemies.

Makes the whole game strategic, challenging and exciting. And if you die? Oh oh, you get to spawn all the way back at base, so you cant be le epin shooter guy. If you dont play it like this, and play bulletsponge fagginess, you are playing it wrong.

/thread

OH YEAH GOTTA GET THEM HEADSHOTS BABY THIS IS JUST LIKE MY CODS

Must be nice roleplaying a retired army man who lost his wife and looked for his kidnapped son.

>calls other casuals
>thinks fallout is all about headshots

>I havent played a videogame this much since I was a kid

So what you're saying is you're still a kid?

>le

Figured as much.

>1 headshot = Dead, both you and enemies

That's not challenging, that's stupid. A challenge would be giving enemies AI that isn't fucking stupid.

How can someone possibly be this wrong?

>yeah its a great gaem guis you just have to dowload these gamechanging mods and play it this specific way
you fell for the hype faggot

>Fallout 4 is great
>but you needs these mods

You can join the Children of Atom in Far Harbor.

Unarmed melee fighter in NV is probably the most fun I've ever had in a Fallout game. Nothing is more badass than going up against hordes of gun wielding maniacs with nothing but your bare hands (or a power glove if you like punching people's heads clean off).
Be sure to learn all of the hand-to-hand techniques, some of them are totally fucking broken like the leg sweep one that can be used to stunlock most enemies.

Look at the way he types. He's a fucking tedditor.

Just play Survival mode if you want shit to die fast.

>1 headshot = Dead, both you and enemies.
Sounds boring as fuck.

the 'alt-f4 and open up FNV' build

>most guys here are casuals
>Fallout 4 is great
>headshots
>strategic
>Oh oh,
>le

I don't even know where to begin, but if this is bait, I'd give it a 7/10. Pretty good.

new copy pasta and its quite fresh

You'll have enough points to be anything so who cares, not like the factions matter since you can join them all

>headshot insta-kills
>challenging
wow I think you just found a way to make FO4 even worse

>not like the factions matter since you can join them all

Only if you don't want to do their quests.

Did you play survival? Raiders shrug off point-blank shotgun blasts to the face.

>build

There are no builds in 4.

>faction

You can join any faction so who gives a fuck?

>etc

You're obviously bored. You should trying playing a good game.

They do that outside of Survival too. It's just how broken the game itself is.

>Only if you don't want to do their quests

You can max all the separate factions in one sitting. The only thing that matters is which one you choose to end the game with.

>not like the factions matter since you can join them all
>You can join any faction so who gives a fuck?

Are these just meme posters that assume factions in FO4 are like TES guilds?
If you do half their quests they all get you to wipe out the other factions.

Ultimate Iron Man
>Survival Mode
>Melee Only

Really adds challenge to the game when you die in a couple of hits and can't shoot people.

>If you do half their quests they all get you to wipe out the other factions.

You get what the factions have to offer well before that point anyway.

Wiping out other factions is their final threshold. After that it's back to infinite fetch quests.

You can reach that threshold with all the factions in one game, which is extremely stupid.

This isn't Counterstrike you fuck.

was meant for

by the time i was hitting endgame with each faction i was lv65+ and had done literally everything in the game already
i just saved and then ran thru each faction ending one at a time

Builds in Fallout 4 only matter in the early game. Infinite levels means that every high level character is exactly the same. The most effective early game build however is high luck with crits.

Some of these anons are right though. You should just uninstall and play literally any other Fallout game (Tactics, BoS and even Shelter included) and unless you're some kind of retarded child you'll enjoy yourself a lot more.

>BoS
>Shelter

no

>there are no factions in fallout4; you can be on all sides simultaneously right up until you have to go kill another faction off.

In all fairness, it was largely the same in New Vegas. Legion could be a bit of a pain, but even then you can get around it if you're careful.

Why would you ever even get that high? By the time I'm pushing the point of finishing a build the game is over and I've exhausted all content.

I like to play as a guy who uses guns and sometimes melee. If you like, you can roleplay as a soldier guy from before the war who is looking for his missing son named Shaun.

nah nah

you should play as the female lawyer who knows how to use power armor and miniguns

remember how that one default character in the first fallout was described as a lawyer haha that's where bethesda got that from the mad men

I thought this was a Fallout game during my first play through. So I went with my usual high intelligence build. Ended up just getting over leveled way too quickly and blew through the rest of it.

you gotta play with a Perk unleveler so you can go deep int in the beginning of the game or deep strength and ignore everything else.
they cap the ranks by level, forcing you to spec into something else until you're high enough level. this is where the unleveler comes in.

>I thought this was a Fallout game during my first play through

lol so did I

I just remade a character and capped him at Level 30, like the non-existent trait.

game was still shit I'm glad it was free

Tell me when they patch back in speech checks, skills, better dialogue, and weapon holstering

>I'm glad it was free

Fallout 4 was the first game I've ever decided to pirate. Fallout 3 taught me to never pay money for a Bethesda Fallout again. I'm really happy I didn't spend any money on it.

>it was largely the same in New Vegas.
nice try but no, it was not even remotely the same

in FO4 you can be tasked to clear out a warehouse of synths; all synths remain non-hostile to you, allowing you to walk right in. attacking them doesn't make you an enemy of Institute (the way attacking a legionnaire makes you an enemy of the Legion, even if you have The Mark).

in NV, not only are there competing factions, warnings about playing two sides, etc-- even the player is considered a 'faction' with their own unique ending and questline where you can freely usurp whichever leaders you dislike. The player will even be treated as a member of the faction whose uniform they wear, which makes perfect sense.

like yeah, you can still be on the 'good side' of multiple factions at once in NV, but it requires actually paying attention to who you fuck with and what quests you take. And when you make an enemy of a faction they will attack you (or even hunt you in Legion's case)

additionally, obisidian managed all of those features in just over a year, on a fucking HORRIBLE spaghetti-code engine that they had no experience with, while Todd Howard spent several years bragging about how big and ambitious Fallout 4 was, and how "if it sucks it's because we tried too much"

only for it to release with less overall depth and features than even FO3, which at least managed to have karma even if it was stupidly lopsided (it was legit hard not to be Jesus Himself unless you did super evil shit like blowing up Megaton)

Let's just hope Obsidia's New Orleans based Fallout is true.

Avellone said Obsidian wouldn't be making a new fallout any time soon.

build/

>it dosent matter what "build" you do. unlike new vegas, you gonna play the same.

/faction
it dosent matter.

f u c k

pillars of eternity was shit

the build that doesnt ask for its babby every time you start a dialogue with an NPC

Fuck Abalone

>Former Fallout: New Vegas developer Eric Fenstermaker, speaking on behalf of Obsidian Entertainment, has revealed that the studio would like to work on another Fallout game in the future.

>Jan 22 - 2016

Obsidian has said on multiple occasions that they would be interested in making another Fallout game and Bethesda has said it's a possibility too.

Seriously, Chris Avellone doesn't even work for Obsidian any more.
