You showed us your best Fallout 4 settlements

PCgamer:

"Last week we asked you to show us the Fallout 4 settlements you'd built, and you all delivered in wonderful, post-apocalyptic glory! We sorted through all of them (and there were quite a few) and pulled out some of our favorites to feature here. Some of you proudly declared no mods were used, others did use mods, but most didn't specify, so I decided to include them all. Either way, you can find them sorted by each creator's Disqus username."

These are nice, but I could never work on settlements myself for any extended period of time. Just takes the life out the game for me.

nowitzki20043098d ago

Im the same way, I just try to keep people happy I dont build much at all except what I have to. I love that its there and how good it is especially with mods.

kneon3098d ago

My problem with the settlements is that the people there are bloody useless. I've lost track of how many times people have been kidnapped from Abernathy and tenpines.

DanteVFenris6663097d ago

They aren't useless, you can make money off them as well as make them generate a bunch of supplies. Start connecting them and growing them and soon you'll be beyond wealthy. While having all the supplies to sell for more money, upgrade stuff, or build more.

kneon3097d ago

I've been beyond wealthy since very early on in the game just from Sanctuary alone. I built a massive amount of water processing and now I'm sitting there with something like 40k caps and 8000 clean water in storage waiting to be sold if needed. But I don't really have anything to buy. I rarely buy anything, I just sell stuff.

I've built up the rest of the settlements but I can't be bothered collecting all the stuff, I've already got several hundreds of every kind of produce in storage just at my home base and more resources than I know what to do with.

It actually improves the game by miles especially the end game. I've already explored most things after 70 hours. Now I'll be trying to upgrade every single settlement to max. Now that puts the gameplay to be far more hours. And I really enjoy doing so.

What it improves is the ability to role play as a leader. Only thing is like to add is the ability to make your settlments into a raider group. Maybe dlc? I'm hoping.

It also enhances the economy aspects of the game and the role of charisma. Which I would ussually ignore that stat.

Ristul3098d ago

Wow, my settlement pales in comparison, thats crazy.

user99502793098d ago (Edited 3098d ago )

damn.... must be on PC. On console I'm constantly scrounging for metal and trying to distribute things evenly between my settlements. Plus my limit is 19 settlers atm so skyscrapers arent exactly practical.

also there is a limit to how much you can build in a settlement, at least on Xbox.

nowitzki20043098d ago (Edited 3098d ago )

Yeah there is a limit in the game I am not sure what it is but its on all versions. On PC there is a mod that lets you build more.

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx19d ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

anast18d ago

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl25d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis24d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits24d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast24d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast24d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead24d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
