We've collected the 20 most annoying times Fallout 4 pulled a fast one on you, the player, by making you think for a moment that maybe, just maybe, you actually mattered. It can be pretty bad because in a few cases you'll have wound up investing tons of hours into agonizing over whichever decision you wound up making and only after making it found out it wouldn't have mattered which option you picked because the game always has the end result the same. The console allows users to cheat, but also gives people the chance to work around glitches in the game, and experiment with parts of Fallout 4 they otherwise would not have access to.
This leads to a lot of disappointment down the road with many of your decisions amounting to jack squat, either they don't have satisfying in-game rewards or punishments or they wind up being irrelevant to the story as a whole and turn out to have been a colossal waste of your time. Fallout 4 is equipped with a powerful console that allows users to modify their character, and the game, during gameplay. Rather than give you actual decisions that shape the world around you and have in-game consequences you can live through, Bethesda has instead opted to give the illusion of choice, which is sorta like the bootleg version of choice. Their issue of not being very good at dealing with 'choice' rears its head again. Its huge sprawling world, engaging story (at least at the start if you're anything like me you spent around 100 hours of gameplay faffing about) and interesting gameplay cement it as a triumph.īethesda, however, still falls into its usual mistakes and habbits. Fallout 4 is one of those games that's going to wind up going down in history.
