So I figured it’s about time I gave this game a shot.

I’m familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV.

I think the reason why I didn’t pick this up earlier was because I didn’t feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow.

Of course I’m trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I’ve never played F76.

The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point?

I’m trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I’ve helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road.

Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through?

There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven’t experimented with any mods just yet.

    If you find yourself running low on caps build as many water purifiers in Sanctuary as you can power.

    Water and ammo are better currency than caps.

      In every Fallout game, (and now Starfield) as well, I immediately choose to use guns from only one or two ammo types, and collect the rest as just trading currency.

      I can’t remember the last time I had to actually pay caps/credits for something since the transaction always comes to zero. I take your stack of med-kits and you get 476 bits of .45 caliber ammunition. Oh…you’re a medic and have no use for it. Too bad.
