Fallout 4: 10 Majorly Overlooked Features That Will Be Amazing

2. Enhanced World Detail - Environmental Storytelling

It's testament to the power of the human imagination that books even 'worked', let alone turned into the powerful literary art form we know and love today. As such, any storytelling medium learned the value of showing, rather than telling - and now the games industry's greatest minds have the power to match their visions, we're getting unbelievably detailed experiences like The Witcher 3, Metal Gear Solid V, and of course, Fallout 4. Whilst New Vegas definitely stepped things up in this department from the grey, green n black-look of Fallout 3, there's a huge step up in visual fidelity when it comes to Fallout 4. It almost doesn't look like a 'wasteland' as the term would imply; instead the world of F4's Boston is supremely colourful, packed with character and most-importantly - looks as though a more advanced state of humanity once resided there. By contrast to the previous generation, there was far more reliance on crumbled buildings and bombed-out houses to get across the notion of peoples' lives being disrupted, but thanks to the timeline of Fallout 4, we're going to be experiencing a more immediate take on the aftermath of the signature nuclear holocaust.
