To truly enjoy Fallout 4 to, you have to agree to play on Bethesda’s terms. Those things are fun in their own way, but they’re not nearly as rewarding as the vanilla game that Bethesda designed.
At any point, you can install a mod or press that tilde key and start entering console commands. If you do, you could end up like me.Īnd it is so damn easy to break the game. You have to make a mental agreement between yourself and the game not to probe too deeply outside the confines of the world. That’s why the Bethesda contract is so important. Because if you pull back the curtain on any one part - if you see through it and decide that it is no longer valuable - the whole game falls apart.

Since Bethesda has not predetermined an explicit “right way” to do your villages, you can do whatever you want with them. On top of that, settlements give you a way to express yourself. If you grow even a little tired of the standard loop, you can build up your towns using all the things you’ve collected. For one thing, it is an excellent exhaust system. The only thing that doesn’t necessarily fit this loop of “everything has a purpose” is the settlement-building minigame. What this design ethos does is imbue everything in the game with value.ĭoing quests has value because I will get experience: I will get useful junk I will get closer to my companion and I will get interesting loot. Exploring that random cave has value because I will get experience, I will get useful junk, and so on.
Every minute empowers you to build out your character however you want. You learn how to use duct tape and hot plates (gimme that copper). You walk out of the Vault 111 and start your adventure, and every moment has something exciting. Bethesda has also layered complex, rewarding systems on top of all of that content. The result is that when you engage with the game in a sincere way - “as god intended” - it is wonderful.
