Fallout 4: 10 Core Improvements Fans Haven’t Considered
From a cover system that would please everyone, to very unique V.A.T.S. upgrade.
Bethesda's all singing all laser-filled take on the apocalypse has become one for the ages, thanks to a 'so-crazy-it-just-works' mix of Oblivion-esque combat, their own prowess at world-building and a score of characters all worth taking the time to interact with. Where else can you spend hours exploring an entire alternate universe-style take on some of the most iconic parts of America, fend off waves of raiders and mutants, see how the remnants of humanity have come together and all-round have the epiphany that when you're out there in the Wasteland, it's truly a matter of life or death? However, thanks to the gargantuan and imposing nature of the worlds this Maryland-born developer always put together, it can end up being a double-edged sword only a few weeks after release. Point being you'll rarely find anyone championing something like Fallout 3 or Skyrim without mentioning how buggy and broken many parts of the experience are along the way. Fans simply say it's par for the course whilst others forever hold out for months-worth of patches to rectify things like absent quest markers or immersion-breaking graphical hiccups. That said, this basic criticism is not why we're here - instead, as is often the case when you revisit a legendary game after a few years, all manner of inventive, innovative and original takes on the source material present themselves - it's just a case of highlighting the best to take forward.
