Utterly Mad

Well despite what was said above, I'm going to play the shit out of it and probably agree on all the points already stated... except on the graphics front because I'm playing on med-low settings.

The voice acting for a lot of the major NPCs is terrible, and the canned animations are hilariously bad. But for the side NPCs and the filler NPCs voice acting ain't to shabby on that side of it. I've also grown to hate Piper within the 2 minutes I've known her and I will most likely kil- oh wait I can't kill her because the game deemed her "plot important".


So yeah, after I beat the main story and sink retarded amounts of hours into this thing I'll most likely write a review. However I'm still loving the world, but I have to nitpick one thing that Patches said.

The map is empty

So was Fallout 1's and 3's. But I can see where you're coming from. This is the Commonwealth there should be a denser population of fuckwits since California has managed to make a functioning society, and New Vegas has literally become Afghanistan within the timeframe of 4. So where the fuck are all the major hub cities, where are the factions fighting for control? I'll tell you where they are, off screen because Bethesda can't fucking do something cool, they can only write about it.

Yeah I'd love to see that big ass war going on just south of Boston, fuck I'd like to take a piece of the pie down there. But I know its going to be the first DLC, or the 2nd, or hell it might be like Skyrim where it just never happens in game.


Also one last major bitch complaint I have, your guy steps out of the vault, wondering what the fuck happened, crying over their stolen child and dead spouse. And yet they just accept it after talking to Codsworth or wandering in some direction. Like wouldn't it have been better to have a Raider encounter on the way out of Sanctuary Hills, where they treat you like a friend (you could possibly join up with them) but things get fishy the more you talk or hang around them, and if you're dumb enough they'll just attempt to kill you on sight.

I don't know, I personally think the opening's best part was the pre-war segment, but everything after that was just Bethesda trying to funnel the player into the wasteland immediately.




OH AND FINALLY ABOUT THE POWER ARMOR! I personally don't mind the damn things being everywhere, Power Armor feels more like a temporary power up or like a "car" then an actual viable option to wear all the time. You always need power cores. But the real reason why the did it is for the newfags that just whine about, "HOW I DIDN'T GET MY POWER ARMOR YET, I DON'T WANNA WORK FOR IT!" So yeah thanks Bethesda appeal to the CoDfags that are going to be playing StarWars Battlefront and not Fallout 4.


Jesus I just need to stop typing already and play the fucking game some more so I have more things to praise and/or bitch about.
