Fallout 4

You have to play it to appreciate it.

On the surface, no it doesn't look especially impressive in terms of graphics and gameplay.

But it's an RPG where choices you make have a massive impact on your game.

Invest points into your "intelligence" for example and you'll open up different /more conversation paths when talking to NPC's which will have a knock on to how you'll complete quests.

Use drugs to give you boosts/advantages in combat situations but you then risk becoming addicted.

Basically it feels like YOUR game rather than just coasting through a story, the Witcher 3 is a lot more linier than Fallout for example.

I'm sure I will. It's similar to the Witcher 3 for me in that I've never played a game in the series before, but I'm really looking forward to it based on what other people have said about it.

 
So what we all doing first? I usually follow the story for a few quests as they get you guns and kit, then just go on a wander. Usually ends with me stumbling across a deathclaw and die horribly.

I tend to do the same, play a couple of story quests because it normally gets you some decent gear to start with but then I'll stop using fast travel and the mini map and just wander around in the general direction I'm supposed to travel.

I'll check all the doors of all nearby buildings occasionally getting's limbs blown off through booby-traps.

 
Pretty much the same as both of you as well!

Get to grips with story and what the basis is, then off I go to wander and do side quests galore!

That's what I love about fallout it doesn't really make you follow a certain path, you can go and do as you please!

 
Find a supermarket. Most likely full of raiders. Stock up on items.

Explore the map. 

 
I'd do my routine random killings first.

Going for a smooth talking, scientist guy, with a pistol and a sniper rifle.

Almost forgot to share this. Don't worry you're not the only one.

Never played a Fallout game before. Skyrim is one of my all time favourite games.

Based on this, will I like Fallout 4? It reminds me of this ecxellent game I played on my 360, called Bioshock, mainly because of that massive metal suit thing I see you wear.

Yeah mate you'll love it, similar in a lot of ways in the sense of exploration and gameplay but obviously vastly different in environment etc.I love both series but fallout probably just shades it for me but not by much.

Bethesda always deliver when it comes to fallout and the ES series

There's romance in this game, Blueblur. Not sure about the sex part though :)

 
It's nothing like BioShock though.

True but I can understand the comparison between the power armour and the big daddy suit to a degree.

True, but bioshock is an on rails storyline, you can literally do what you want in fallout.
 
I'm not trying to compare it to Bioshock, since it isn't an open world game like Fallout.

I'll wait for the reviews before deciding to get this or not. Though I'm sure it will get 9s and 10s across the board.  

 
On the subjects of deathclaws, I remember seeing this a while back...
