What a game. Despite some forum concerns about the lack of real depth in your choices when compared to Fallout: NV, I was very happy with Fallout 4. I preferred the perk systems from the previous games instead of seeing everything laid out in front of me, but I’m so happy to see equipment repair banished. Weight concerns are still a major pain in the ass, though. I would have loved a hotkey to “Send to companion” when I was carrying too much cargo. It got irritating having to strike up a conversation every time I needed to pass off some heavy gear mid-quest to my companion to trudge on. Torchlight’s feature of sending your pet to the closest town to sell gear for you would have been cool too.
While I loved the legendary drops, I found that I had been using mostly the same weapons and armor for about the last 20 levels. Nothing got better in terms of the additional legendary benefits, and since my modding perks were maxed out that hinged on whether I’d move to a new piece of gear.
I’m sure I’ll revisit the Commonwealth, especially when the DLC finally arrives. I have a few behemoths and many bobbleheads left to hunt and while I ran out of new quests as I played, there are large chunks of the Commonwealth I haven’t even touched yet. I’m sure just wandering into a few buildings will bring me more unexpected adventures.
