Fallout 4: 10 Simple Fixes That Would Improve Everything

9. More Music

Has their ever been a more perfect song to play through a nuclear holocaust to than The Ink Spots' I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire? The radio stations of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas were brilliantly curated, their content sublimely reflecting the tone and sentiment of a perceived atomic age that was suddenly and abruptly thrust into oblivion. The music has become almost synonymous with the experience of each game, with each track conjuring up memories of scavenging through abandoned shacks and scanning horizons for threats. Problematically, while Bethesda had poured everything into creating a game that could promise over a hundred hours of gameplay to consumers, they failed to consider how grating and repetitive a soundtrack of only about 20 or so songs might eventually become. It wouldn't take too much effort to include a healthy number of tracks spread out over one or two more radio stations, and yet it would ensure that gamers aren't forced to step outside of the game world, playing their own music over the top or muting the radio stations entirely in order to escape the repetitious nature of the game's soundtrack.
