What are your first impressions of Fallout 4 ?
Key points for me :
-VATS is now obsolete (IMO). The fact that the weapons shoot much more accurately than they ever have before makes VATS alot less useful, the odd occassion I have used it has proved a liability.
-Power Armour system. This is a great addition to the series, it gives you further personalisation and makes adds a whole new dimension to combat. (I.E should I save my last Fusion Core until I need it ? Or should I use it to explore)
-Settlements. Yet another great addition for me, it keeps me motivated to pick up loot and gives a great escape from combat. It helps that I'm a Strategy fan, the placing of defenses etc keeps me entertained.
-Spoken dialogue. This was always guarenteed to split opinion, I like it personally, it may disconnect you from your own character, but I feel it builds connections with NPCs better, as you feel like you're an actual team, as opposed to a character with a sidekick.
-Weapon/Armour mods. Whereas the dialogue splits opinion, I'm fairly certain this crafting system will reunite us, the sheer variety of mods enables you to craft a weapon that you like, out of one you don't!
I may have missed a few so add to it if you can !
*sidenote- it'd be interesting for you to also share how the game runs on your rig? Mine its fairly stable, a few framerate drops indoors but I'm certain that will sorted with a patch.*
I really like the layered armor, which allows you to wear it over top of clothing. It just looks awesome. I think the change to power armor really reinforces it as being a rare, special component of the game, and not just a simple alternative set of apparel. And because my aiming is off, I still love me some vats.
I was taken by surprise by some feral ghouls, though. I never remembered those zombies being so damn fast before...
