  1. One excellent thing I can say about Fallout 4 is that, unlike other Bethesda games, it doesn't cherry around. Gunplay is challenging, ammo is scarce, and the wasteland is gonna kick your ass. I love it.

    1. @bobo Do you need food and water and the like?

      1. @skellythos Hardcore mode is out of it (but you *do* have to supply food and water for your settlements), but the combat is brutal and you will need to prepare for some of these fights. I have already found myself scrounging around for that *one* more material I need to upgrade my weapon. Stimpaks are not given out like candy, so food takes priority, and the returning cooking system (from NV) is BEEFED (pun intended???).

        1. @bobo @skellythos On top of all of that, there's so much more detail in FO4 then there was in Skyrim. I have played for four hours without switching my selected radio station, and radio dialogue hasn't repeated ONCE. All of the non-hostile-NPCs I have found have different voice actors, as well.

          1. @bobo Seems Fallout is going in the opposite direction of TES, gaining more detail in each game.

        2. @bobo Seems like something I'll enjoy. I spent the last two games terribly overprepared, hauling stuff I didn't end up needed as enemies and combat scenarios weren't tough or diverse enough.

          1. @skellythos Beth has effectively removed useless items, everything has a purpose and (perhaps most importantly) I *wanted* to pick up everything because I felt like I needed everything.

            1. @bobo I pick up everything anyway just because I love having warehouses full of stuff.
