So I needed a game to use as an escape so I decided to run the risk i would get addicted again and finally got into Fallout 4, and I'm having so much fun, There's so much to do and to explore and to see that I'm not caring that much for the streamlining of the perk system, or the dumb interface of the settlement system or the game crashing bugs I keep running into in my Xbox One. All I know is that I just crafted an incendiary sniper rifle I baptized as "Pyrokinesis" and can kill a Super Mutant brute in one sneak shot from half across the Commonwealth.
It helps that companions are not killable. I didn't use companions in Fallout 3 but I'm using them here because they are fun qnd won't be pernakilled (and, ahem, romenceable, so me/Piper 4 life, don't judge me). I wasted a couple perks in Lone Wandering before I realized that, but oh well.
My only real gripe beyond the game freezing bugs (I dread running into molerats because they crash my game as their ultimate attack) is that the main story might not fit the open world vibe, i don't think a parent, after their spouse gets killed and their baby stolen, would have time to wander around the wasteland helping wastelanders fetch nuke-cola and craft doggie armor. I know where I need to go to pick the trail for my son, but there are so many side quests that this Valentine fella can wait for now.
