5 Outstanding User Created Fallout 4 Settlements

Fallout 4 has only been out for a week and these huge, fully realized settlements have already been created. In the same amount of time, we've got the odd Melon plant lying around, built a square shack on the roof of Red Rocket Diner, and got a Brahmin stuck in our settler's home. We think we'll leave the settlement building to these pros.

I had no idea this kind of stuff was in the game. Can't wait to play it.

If you're like me you spend an hour and end up with a perfect cube for a house made of metal. I have no idea how these guys manage this!

BlackTar1873514d ago

lol i wish i could demolish everything in towns

would make it much easier on my brain when designing a place. I also wish i could have an overhead view. The way it is is stupid IMO with your character needing to be run around and such.

gangsta_red3514d ago (Edited 3514d ago )

Blacktar is spot on.

To me this is the weakest area of the game. It is horribly unintuitive(?), the UI is terrible, and there is hardly any indication to let the user know that anything assigned is being done.

It took me a while to even figure out what had to be done and this was after placing things in the wrong area, realizing I didn't have the materials and other factors.

This part of the game needs to be patched or mod'ed real quick for consoles.

Edit:
It's great that people are getting creative but for us simple folk there needs to be an easier method.

TheCommentator3514d ago

Far Cry has the most intuitive console map editor IMO. Fallout should follow suit with regard to object placement.

I spent like my first 5 hrs building a huge tree house in Sanctuary. It's so amazing.

On reddit, these ppl are making HUGE electric Pip Boy signs that can be seen from really far away.

kneon3514d ago

On PS4 I couldn't go over 4 or 5 stories high so that limits things. Maybe PC allows for larger structures.

But regardless I won't be building anything noteworthy, I found this activity to be rather boring.

Kane223514d ago

@kneon the game only allows 4 stories on all versions.

Silly Mammo3514d ago

Heck! I just learned how to get the light bulbs lit.

I simply don't have the patience to do any of that. Doesn't help that the UI when building stuff (IMO) is awful. Why we couldn't have had an overhead view.. maybe when mods are available for the PS4 someone will.

Amazing structures though. Must be a PitA maintaining it though.

I think i made the mistake of giving Mama Murphy too many chems. Because I could never get my settlement past 98% happiness, and it even cost me the Platinum.

Fallout 4 on Switch 2 seems inevitable, but what about Starfield?

A Fallout 4 Nintendo Switch 2 port seems like an inevitability, but what about other Bethesda RPGs like Starfield.

I think all games will end up on switch from Xbox. MS has embraced going to other platforms now if games aren't doing well on Nintendo MS may be more selective in the future

On playstation they have been quite successful

anast84d ago

I'm not sure too many people want to play Starfield.

Profchaos84d ago

Phils all but confirmed they are going in hard with the switch 2

TheColbertinator84d ago

All are welcome to Switch 2. Microsoft Games Studios is interested in long term profits and market value not petty fanboy thoughts.

Starfield is actually a RPG. Bethesda hasn't done that in a while.

GhostScholar185d ago

People acted like starfield was so less interesting than fallout and drastically different, but I call bs on that. Both are decent games, but they are both filled with the appearance of things to do and items to interact with but 99 percent are just there to be there with no significance. Fallout has better character work but they are both sort of illusions that they’re vast.

Studio has been going downhill since Skyrim. Every following game gets dumbed down more than the previous. I'll be shocked if Elder Scrolls VI even has dialogue options.

anast185d ago

Fallout 4 was bad, real bad. Starfield might even be a better RPG.

trez1082185d ago

Fallout 4 wasn’t a great fallout game per se but real bad? I don’t know maybe I’m a little biased because I replied it not long ago and had fun with it.
