You have to figure out your backstory in New Vegas with very subtle clues and hints. Which I think is nice.


Fallout 4 your entire backstory is told right from the start. They could have at least made the story interesting by giving you amnesia from being per-maturely woken up from cryosleep.

Are you talking about soundtrack or radio?

More than half of the radio soundtrack in Fallout 4 has been borrowed from Fallout 3. How many times am I going to hear the same loving song in both games?

New Vegas had different radio soundtracks and they had remixed versions of Fallout 1 and 2.

It pulls the soundtracks from both New Vegas and Fallout 3

I'll give fallout 4 this. I'm impressed with how Mirelurks work now. If it were possible for species to rapidly mutate these mirelurk versions makes more sense.

The hatchlings are nice (bethesda normally doesn't add baby animals). I like how the hunters look like lobsters and the drones look like crabs. The king and queen actually make sense.



They really screwed things up in Fallout 3. It wouldn't be biologically possible (even for a mutated species) of a mutated snapping turtle known as the Mirelurk king which apparently can repopulate with an unknown queen to make mutated Horseshoe crabs. Then they screwed stuff up even further with the Point lookout DLC and all Mirelurk kings are now called "swamplurks" and there is even a "swamplurk queen" which looks exactly like the mirelurk king.

I liked all the new songs in 4 (excluding the end of the world song which I had liked before the game but now hate from overuse)

But anyway, I've completed Fallout 4.

I think 4 was a good base game for more Fallout games to come. Lots of good resources to reuse.
The dialogue system fell flat, yeah, but for the most part it improved upon 3 in every way
far better atmosphere, gameplay, companion back stories, questline, real looking people, and of course all the newly added functionalities (an actual crafting system, settlements, other)
the only thing I could really go either way on was the perk chart. the old and new systems are both just as good imo
the only other downsides were all the essential players and the placement of pipe weapons
I rate it a good out of good

Is it me or the game.

I was playing fallout 4 and the game crashed and my computer sent itself to the log-in screen.

I lost my perception bobblehead and had to reload a save about 8 hours back because i'm an idiot who only quicksaves.
Surprisingly, i didn't mind very much.

Also, this happened to me twice, and i managed to get a screenshot the second time:

The character enters a reference pose with no animation, and i fixed it both times by entering and exiting first-person mode.

if it sent you to the log in screen it's probably you.  did you somehow manage to press some combination of keys that makes you log off while playing the game?

So, my battle of bunker hill was peculiar. Spoilers follow;

[So, I'm working with the Railroad, within the Institute, and I get the quest for Bunker Hill, so I warn the Railroad, but not the Brotherhood.
i turn up and meet the courser, and we head up to Bunker Hill, and just outside the gate drops down a BoS Vertibird, which drops off two Knights in armour, and goes flying around.
The courser and synths fight the BoS while the RR are inside taking potshots. The synths die, I take out the Vertibird, Courser kills a knight, a Legendary Mirelurk from nowhere kills the last one, and then I assassinate the courser, all outside the front gate.

There is still firing going on, and I assume from outside the other edges, as on my last pro-BoS playthrough the fight was much bigger and stretched around the town. However there are no synths/BoS outside, but the gunfire continues. I head inside and the Railroad guys are going mad, shooting everywhere. And then I see at what.
The settlers and caravaners, who are all essential for this.
There are heavies firing Guass Rifles at Brahmin, Trashcan Carla being mowed down (repeatedly). a Heavy unloading clip after clip into Megs, the little girl who gives you a 'tour', face.

I've no idea what is happening for the Railroad to be shooting civvies.
I head into the bunker where the escaped synths are, unsure of what I should be doing, and downstairs is a group of BoS Knights fighting the Railroad! Except, I can't target any of them.
They take no damage. VATS acts as if no one is there. They aren't targetting me (although hanrooster targets them). I take damage from their thrown grenades, and the Railroad turrets shoot at me and do damage, but I can't shoot back.

I leave, unsure that I was supposed to go down there if I wasn't with the BoS or Institute.
I travel to meet Father on the roof of CIT. I tell him it was an ambush.
He berates me though for the Brotherhood finding out about the secret mission, even though I didn't tell them!
I finish the mission thoroughly confused.
]

Sounded "fun." Was the VATS thing a glitch?

I'm really not sure.
I couldn't interact with any of the characters, and they took no damage from my attacks, Hanrooster's attacks, Grenades that I threw, nor from attacks from the other NPCs.

I could however direct Hanrooster to attack them, which he would do, but they took no damage.

In almost every way the game acted as if they weren't a character.

Try reloading a save before you took the mission, probably a bug.

Probably, but I can't be bothered to do so now.

I got what I needed out of the mission, and have carried on.
Only thing I missed out on was looting that sweet gatling laser from the knight.

But I'm sure I'll find one eventually!
