Fallout 4 (try to avoid spoilers)

[EmmitBrown]

So a few of us have this game and I was curious about your thoughts on it.

It's my first Fallout and I'm enjoying it so far. I like the app for dropping stuff to scrap and it's useful for seeing the components you'll get when scrapping certain items.

Have you guy come across any cool perks or really useful items/components/recipes?

edit: i went with Ashley Olsen as my name

im on the fence so far.

im not a big fan of first person stuff, will i be able to play this strictly in third person? Is it as open as skyrim, or are you tied to the story all the way? is crafting neccesary to have fun? (i hate that too)

that aside, it looks very good.

crafting plays a big role. it plays a lot like skyrim. a lot of collecting, scrapping and crafting. a lot of exploring, too.

i think you could play the whole thing in 3rd-person

I'm loving it, there is loads of side quests and you can just explore but doing the 1St few story missions rewards you with some handy equipment which makes it easier when you have to fight large amounts of enemies. Weapon customisation is really good and let's you tweak guns to your play style. You could defo play through the whole game in 3rd person if you wish to.

I love almost everything about the game so far, haven't gotten into the story besides the first thing you discovered because it's the introduction.

They shouldn't have thrown out the skills system though, that was disappointing, normally put my intelligence to 9 and instantly look for the bobble head because it provided the most points you could add to your skills when you leveled up, but that has no purpose in this game. So I just left my intelligence at a 4, the building/crafting mechanic is fucking sweet. I get the feeling one of their DLCs is going to add parts/pieces to this and I'm stoked to see what they add to it, but maybe they won't. Already bought the season pass so I'm getting whatever the hell they put out.

yeah, im gonna grab the season pass. im waiting to grab it until we're closer to a release date for dlc, tho. this game is addictive. im trying to decide which perks i want so i know which skills to upgrade.
