Are you confused, eager, or just having trouble with Fallout 4?
Are you confused, eager, or just having trouble with Fallout 4?
It works well for me... However, you're correct—this should have been addressed from the beginning.
checking out more reveals that most activity happens in the city, yet places like Concord aren't completely deserted. You'll find stronger weapons as you progress, and customizing your gear makes a difference. Modifying your weapons is also beneficial. Honestly, I don’t enjoy the interface either—it feels like Bethesda overlooked PC support for KB+M. Certain areas remain challenging no matter your level, and while there are better missions than the usual "collect the mead," there’s a bit of excess in that list.
Thanks everyone, my thoughts seemed to suggest most people enjoy Fallout, so I might have made a mistake by not enjoying the game. I appreciated the exploration in Skyrim because of the nice scenery, which could explain why I don’t like it here—maybe that’s intentional but still doesn’t improve things. Learning that I should explore more to find interesting content makes me uncomfortable for that reason.
It's a wild idea, but diving into such a scenario reveals much about what's left in the world.
Investigation is essential. My experience has been limited, with most of my map populated from BoS, Main, and Minuteman quests. The extended style comes from the post-apocalyptic setting, moving away from Skyrim’s cold tones or Cyrodiil’s lively atmosphere. It’s also true that many players share this taste—I enjoy Fallout games but lean more toward TES than Fallout itself. Interestingly, I really like Fallout 4.
I was constantly discovering new spots every half minute after leaving one place, making it hard to understand your perspective. 2. Yes, you're likely still in the early zones. Weapons improve as you progress and face tougher foes, so I only grab gear when necessary or if it's actually useful. This is the usual approach in all Fallout titles, including Elder Scrolls games. 3. I share your thoughts—keyboard and mouse controls feel awkward during settlement development and other sections. Plus, the dialogue wheel is really annoying. 4. It varies depending on how you tackle enemies and which ones you encounter. Some areas present tough challenges that aren't easy at your current level, so entering high-tier zones can be risky. 5. I don’t think so if you followed the main path; you’d have plenty of missions to complete right away. You seem to have left the vault, wandered off in a random direction, skipped the main story, chased side tasks that rarely connect, and ended up in mixed difficulty zones. Personally, I’ve played a lot of Fallout 3, New Vegas, a lot of Skyrim, and a bit of Oblivion/Morrowind—though those versions felt outdated for me. Fallout has definitely evolved since the original games, making it more than just a classic RPG. I’m really enjoying it, except for occasional performance issues in big cities. So, everyone’s journey is different. With around 50 hours played, I don’t see how you arrived at these claims.
