best3444 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I never played this and I'm curious what others thought about it? I enjoy FO3 back in the day but I'm more of a fantasy guy. It got pretty good reviews and I can mod this to make it look great. Is it worth buying for $20? I'm on a Bethesda kick right now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Generally I don’t think it’s super well regarded. I happen to personally like it quite a bit. If you want to play Fallout 3 but better looking and some more stuff to do, you’ll like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I think it’s better than its reputation. Also it’s only $8.50 on cdkeys for the GOTY version if you are thinking deck. If not, it’s free on gamepass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclyp Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 And I’ll also say I think a lot of people thought the main story was stupid, but I thought it was cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Fallout 3 so if this is more of the same with better visuals nice. 2 minutes ago, stepee said: I think it’s better than its reputation.

Kal-El814 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The vibes are pretty good and the settlement building is fun if that’s your speed. The shooting combat is like Starfield but worse but it does have VATS. A couple of the companions are quite fun, but some are pretty boring and nobody really shines as bright as the BG3 cast does. The story is, I’d say, bad. It sets its sights on some lofty themes but I don’t know that the motivations of any of the principal players are all that interesting and some are nonsense. There are a couple dramatic and fun bits though. It’s a Bethesda Game Studios game of its era, with all that implies for good and for ill. edit - also the radiant quest system is trash. I got the same quest to save the same person something close to 10 times, they got brought to the same place where the same enemies respawned with the same loot every. Single. Time. Despite playing a good character overall, I killed the family that kept giving me the same quest, convinced that the only reason it kept happening was them trying to have me killed. I regret nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, steam has a hd texture pack so if I buy it from cdkeys can I still get the HD pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If CDkeys is selling steam keys for FO4, you just buy from them, redeem the Steam key, and it’s in your Steam library like you bought it directly from Steam. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 You should fire up Bethesda's open world Terminator game on Dosbox, the one where you can steal pregnancy tests from the drug store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
