I’m playing on an Xbox One with just the six DLCs.
I installed one mod a looong time ago, whose name and purpose I don’t recall, and since then my gamer score has not increased despite having played several other games.
So, I’m a bit leery of trying anything else. As time permits, I’ll looking into getting things straightened out.
I love Fallout and Bethesda RPGs, but for some reason I couldn’t get into Fallout 4. It’s on my list of “give another try” list, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.
When I couldn’t get into it, I searched different things about the game, and found out character builds of all kind. Everything from simple ones like sniper, melee etc to weird ones, like ‘The Ninja’, and then some even weirder ones on YouTube.
Yea, I can understand. The early part of the game is marred by Preston Garvey giving one assignment after another, and having to rush off the defend settlements.
But FO4 has a quite elaborate settlement building component, and after ringing them with turrets and other defenses, they can pretty much take care of themselves, leaving more time to wander.
There’s quite a variety of things to see outside the city. My favorites are the Glowing Sea to the south west and Far Harbor to the north east (DLC).
The thing that really gives FO4 longevity, for me, is that the leveling up has no upper limit. Whatever character traits one picks initially should theoretically converge to a character with everything.
That’s nice about leveling. This is how I like playing Bethesda games. First play-through, I do everything I want. Then when I feel the urge to play them again after a while, I play a specific class. Like playing, just a melee fighter in Skyrim, or so on.
Bethesda games are my favorite. I played Skyrim all the way through on an Xbox 360, then again on Xbox One. I should try a melee character on the next platform, rather than sticking with a long-range archer elf.
I did play through Fallout New Vegas on “survival” mode a few years back. It took a bit longer since a lot of time had to be spent on eating and sleeping. Fun though!
Wandering around Boston in Fallout 4, reinforcing some settlements, collecting some junk for scraps, and sleeping with Cait.
Even found another power armor suit that had somehow gone undiscovered years ago.
Playing with any specific build?

Ah, I didn’t mean mod, I meant character build. Like a sniper, or melee focused thief, or smooth talking bard or something 😀
Ah, yea, sorry. I’ve only ever used one character, and I think I started with mostly an “intelligence” build.
My character’s current SPECIAL stats are 10, 13, 7, 12, 10, 9, and 9 at level 129.
Wow, I didn’t even know you can reach level 129.

Yeah, maybe I should give it another go.

I’m so excited for Starfield because I miss the sense of exploration in Elder Scrolls and Fallout.
Oh yea! I’m really ready for the immersion in a new universe!
That’ll be the catalyst for me buying an Xbox Series X.
