I'm officially bored with Fallout 4

BC · November 30, 2015, 12:43:05 AM

I'm level 70 and have put just over 4 days into it.

I've done literally every quest, and even went back and did both the endings. I saw there's another but I honestly don't want to go back and do that ending as well, knowing it ends almost exactly the same as the other (at least judging off the achievement).

I have basically the perfect legendary gear, I look like a bad ass, I can go invisible whenever I want, and I destroy every enemy. Have every set of power armor including a completely maxed out super spec X-01. (Which isn't hard to get what so ever.)

I've built three custom settlements and have them to about 95% happiness (game glitches and won't get to 100%. Once it hits 96 it immediately drops to 50. No idea).

I've just about found every "secret". And done basically every quest and found every location. No fun in the radiant side missions, especially after doing them like 100 times.

I also wish there was more variation in armor. Also the fact that the enemies don't really scale. Supposedly they get harder the farther you are from Vault 111, but I still kill enemies from near by and all the way in gunner plaza and get the same XP, and still one shot them (unless it's a legendary, but pray n spray kills them in seconds).

What now? It's my first genuine play through of a fallout game and I really enjoyed it, but I've run out of things to do. Which kinda sucks because I actually really really like the game

Play 3. Then New Vegas.

Kiwicake · November 30, 2015, 12:49:02 AM

Enemies do get harder the further you go out, but only up until like level 40-50, once you get past that they just scale with you. I have no idea how much playtime I've put into the game, but there's no way I found and did everything, like wow

You should totally get The Witcher 3 if you're still in an open world RPG mood though. Or play Fallout: New Vegas, I'd suggest 3 but honestly it'll be really difficult to get into after having played 4

A Cheese Potato · November 30, 2015, 12:50:23 AM

Make specialist characters, that's what I do. I got a all stealth character with the Deliverer and a maxed out 44. Magnum for when my stealth is blown. And then I got heavy weapons mcgee who never leaves his power armour. More fun I think than just being a jack of all trades. Not to just assume you do that, but a lot of people do, at least on their first playthrough.

Also I think my settlement building is borked, because whenever I fast travel away from Sanctuary it says it has no resources whatsoever, like all my stuff is despawning. Says everything is 0 except for population, and then that goes down because the game thinks I got nothing there, even though I got 80 water, power and defence with 40 or so food and plenty of beds.

Frustrating because it means it just stays at 60ish and I have to just stand in sanctuary to make it go up at all.

I love open world RPG's, well, RPG's in general.

And I've heard going back is kind of painful. And I don't really want to have that kind of experience lol. I tried F3 and didn't really like it, and that was a few years ago.

I've heard great things about Witcher but I heard the combat was pretty frustrating. Is that true? Or was it buggy before and it's better now?

The combat in the first two games isn't great, but it's great in TW3

Sanctuary is a son of a bitch, my suggestion it to go to the island in the bottom right, clear it, and start off fresh. Move settlers from other outposts and make it 21 pop, and you can get really high happiness super quickly and it's easy. And there's a shit load of resources on the island.

That being said, there's a shit load of mirelurks, including a queen. You have to turn on a generator on a boat crashed on the island, and then go to the outpost on top of a hill, and play a sound that pops them all out of the ground. Then walk around making sure all is clear. There's mirelurk hunters on the shores, like 2 or 3 spread out.

Once your done, it's a nice clean palette, like sandbox from H3

Once you can get past the gunplay, it's just more Fallout.

NV in particular has a lot more quest focus than random exploration.

Is it backwards compatible?

for now anyway, New Vegas was pretty high up on the backwards compatibility list too if I remember correctly

I'm only 30 or so hours into the game and it's already getting pretty tedious for me. Outside of settlement building the sidequests aren't all that compelling or interesting.

Onion · November 30, 2015, 07:50:13 AM

Level 30 and the game is starting to become a drag. Exploration is fun but the missions are too mentally draining.

I've been playing other games to try and keep it fresh but I haven't gone back in almost a week now.

gats · November 30, 2015, 07:52:33 AM

I stopped playing after a week but that's because I suck

Edit: Just to clarify I don't suck at fallout, I suck because I grow tired of pretty much all games very quickly.

Only 3 days of playtime and I haven't touched the game in a week because of how boring and monotonous it's become

I've gone back to GTA and Battlefield for now. I think I've played the game too much and burnt myself out on it.

It you had a life you wouldn't have that much time for videogames, no wonder you're bored

Mr. Psychologist · November 30, 2015, 10:28:29 AM

Semper Shitbucket

I wouldn't say I've gotten bored with it, but I can definitely see how and why it would get that way.

Spoiler

Because you're a boring fucking person and there is no changing that.

Seriously though, I imagine it'll eventually reach the same issue as Witcher 3 did for me. When you've done damn near everything, redoing the same shit over and over isn't really appealing.

I'm almost envious of my brother, who seemingly can play skyrim absolutely endlessly without getting bored. He maxes out a character (Not literally but like level 120 something) and then stops, makes a new character and plays it all over again. That's just something I've never been able to do.

According to TIME the average gamer over the age of 13 spends 6.3 hours a WEEK playing videogames so yeah you guys are shit buckets

At least psy is wise and noble enough to admit it
