Brilliantly Epic's comprehensive guide to all of the companions and their skillsets within Fallout 4.
Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."
It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder
That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game
The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.
It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.
They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.
I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.
I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.
It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
It may be years away, but whenever it arrives, Fallout 5 needs to improve on its predecessor in several areas.
They really need to get rid of weapon mods and bring back more unique weapons that are hard to get / find
They won't improve it other than a slight graphical upgrade. They have always been better at live action than making games.
Only way it could improve is taking it away from Bethesda and regroup Classic Fallout (1&2) devs with decent budget and time to make it.
I've be using Dog the whole time, sure he's a pain in the ass, gets in the way at the most inappropiate time but I like dog. I haven't used anyone else.. and if the companions in this game are anything like the ones in FO3/NV - they can keep them, got so fed up of their inane banter.
OT.. I was walking around the waterfront in Boston (no missions, just exploring) when I came around a Legendary Radscorpion with a skull by it name.. yeah, it killed, pretty quickly too.. so, reloaded and went back to the same area, only this time, found a rooftop when I could snipe/pot shot at it.. well it burrowed away and the next thing I know, it's on the rooftop with me!
Is that a glitch?! can they do that? - hardly seems fair..
Bethesda really stepped up this time around with companions. Like it or not, but it was definitely an influence from BioWare's titles, such as Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
In Oblivion most of companions were merely for a couple mission, and then there was this bastard... http://www.youtube.com/watc...
In Fallout 3 they've added special companions that actually had unique personalities, and most of them wouldn't join you, unless you were either Good, Neutral or Bad and did something for them. You were also allowed to equip them as you like, as long as the equipment was better than their original.
In Skyrim companions weren't as major, as in Fallout, you've had a lot of them, actually, but they lacked anything in particular. Each of them had his own set of abilities and personal combat preferences (Bow or 2-Handed Sword etc.). You could even order them around more, though i didn't use it too much. Some could even teach you a thing or two. However guys like Lydia or Faendal felt like pawns more than actual people.
And Fallout 4. Well, i doubt you could've asked for more. Deep and different personalities, lots of dialogues, reactions to your actions, own ideas. They even have perks for you to receive. We've come a long way...
i'm rolling with dog meat....i tried piper for a few but sent her away,she now takes care of my crops lol
Dogmeat is fine but the humanoid companions are a hell lot better.
