I’ll keep this short and sweet….

It’s a very simple game and rather easy to boot. It’s better than skyrim as far as leveling/ perks/ becoming a god at level 30 and such go but at the same time they did so much streamlining it feels gutted compared to FO3 or NV. All in all I miss ammo types and the old karma system that only needed to be modded to be based more on region than everywhere and non-watered down dialogue.

Pros
FPS action is good, solid weapons and location damage.
--
Building is fun if limited(you really need to follow a couple rules, try and build stuff that does not float and that looks like it has some structural integrity)
--
Companions get their own quests you have to unlock
--
Random legendary equipment from randomly spawned legendary enemies.
--
Most armor is now in 5 pieces, chest, arms and legs only down side is it’s not as modifiable as weapons are.
======================
Cons
Story? What story?
--
Outside of buying/selling/building stuff it’s a pure FPS…..
--
Settlement with 50 machinegun turrets gets raided and if you are not there gets damaged or destroyed ….
--
AI is a bit more blind and deaf.
--
All the old classic Fallout model designs have been changed.
--
Its unbalanced… still.
--
Critical hits are now a power attack you have to charge up a special bar for in vats, which is LAME
--
Dialogue is gutted heavily even more so than Mass Effect or Dragon Age.
--
There are no perks for persuasion as charisma has replaced it completely, I just would have liked extra dialogue choices.
--
Dialogue only has 2 directions positive and negative, no middle, ground no third option unless its middle ground or negative.
--
No longer have any quests that use your perks like the old skill system, IE repair this thing or heal that person.
--
All locations reset after a while minus unique characters you killed, this really should be more random than bam 5 days and its full again.
--
Anyone on your side/team or in your settlements cannot die unless it’s its scripted like failing to save a settlement even if it has 50 machinegun turrets and 20-30 settlers, the original family or people there will be killed off randomly.
--
Companions still get in the way, they really need to be behind you not in front…..
--
No multi ammo system, just 1 ammo type per weapon unless you change its ammo type using a work bench and your gun nut skill.
--
You can put a scope on a shotgun but not a submachine gun.
--
You can change the ammo type on some weapons but cannot upgrade that ammo type further.
--
NPC’s fall through the floors of the buildings you make.
===========================
Would I recommend it, no not till the modding community has a couple years to fix it, that plus it being 20-30$ will make it worth while..
