There are also special bonus perks you can obtain by completing quests or finding magazines and bobbleheads in the Wasteland. There are 70 perks in all, with many having multiple levels. The higher your SPECIAL stat, the more perks you can access. Every character now gets one point a level to spend on perks, which are tied to an associated SPECIAL stat. Stats are scaled very differently, so lower stat numbers are not as crippling as they were in Fallout 3. Every character now begins with a one in every stat and a set number of points they can spend to raise those stats. It's effectively the armor equivalent of the Fatboy mini-nuke launcher.įallout 4 retains the trademark S.P.E.C.I.A.L. Power sources are rare enough you'll want to save them for a tough fight. The fact that fuel is so limited means you have to go out of your way to use it. You can use power armor without fuel, but it loses most of its advantages. The downside is that Power Armor needs to be maintained, so you need to scavenge semi-rare fuel sources to power it.

You can customize it with armor pieces that provide new abilities, from shields to auto-healing. Instead of being equippable, you now enter Power Armor as you would a vehicle, and it renders you immune to fall damage and increases your carrying capacity, among other bonuses. In the earlier games, it made you practically invincible, and in the later games, it was some of the best equipment you could get. In previous Fallout titles, Power Armor was high-tier armor that sometimes required special training to use. There's a noteworthy change to the Power Armor. It's probably going to bother people who enjoyed exploding the head of every single raider in the Wasteland, but it makes for a more cohesive game. High-luck builds get further critical modifiers, so you get fewer criticals but more meaningful ones. You can still get criticals in other ways, including headshots or sneak attacks, but it's great to stock up and use it when you really need it instead of depending on chance. While the critical meter allows for less abuse than in Fallout 3 or New Vegas, I preferred it.

fills up a "critical meter," and when it's full, you can spend it for an assured critical hit. You no longer gain a flat bonus to critical hits when you use it instead, every shot in V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tech Assisted Targeting System) slows down time rather than stopping it and allows for targeting accurate shots. Aiming and firing is faster and easier, grenades are tossed with a button press, and you can melee-smash enemies with the butt of your gun. Gunplay has been smoothed out and plays more like a modern shooter.

There are some minor changes to the combat. The combat, controls and gameplay will feel familiar to anyone who spent hundreds of hours exploring the Capital Wasteland or the Mojave Desert. On the surface, Fallout 4 has not changed a lot from the last games. Along the way, they'll encounter various political factions, including the Brotherhood of Steel, deadly super mutants, and The Institute, a mysterious organization that replaces humans with synthetic copies. Your character awakens 200 years in the future and must venture into what was the Commonwealth of Massachusetts but is now a war-ravaged wasteland known as the Commonwealth. What they don't realize is that Vault 111 is a special vault to test the effects of cryogenic sleep. You're either the mother or father of a pre-war nuclear family, and whichever character you choose is offered a chance to escape into a vault on the day the nuclear bombs fall. Rather than being placed in the shoes of a voiceless character with minimal backstory, you play a specific character in Fallout 4. There are some drastic changes to the formula, but Fallout 4 is pretty much what you'd expect: more Fallout. There were only a few short months between the announcement and the game's release, and information has been relatively thin, so it's no wonder the fervor and anticipation for Fallout 4 has reached a crescendo. In a year filled with excellent games, Fallout 4 is still one of the most anticipated titles.
