Intro Whenever a game developer announces a sequel to a popular title, my first and immediate question that I ask myself is, “I wonder if they will learn from their mistakes and take into consideration community feedback?”. Fallout 4 is no stranger to controversy and backlash from members of the Fallout fandom, but there’s no […]

Intro If there’s one silver lining to the post-apocalypse, it’s that it wiped Vault-Tec off the map (Not literally, but at least all the scientists running sick experiments). Vault-Tec was more creative than Spielberg, and unfortunately, they used that creativity to devise the most inhumane experiments known to man. Not every Vault was a horror

Intro Bethesda made the controversial decision of removing skills from Fallout 4. Bobbleheads based on skills still exist, but the skills themselves are gone entirely. Here’s where to find them. In their place is a perk system, similar to the one Bethesda implemented in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The new system has opened up

Intro After nuclear fire ended the world, many settlements have sprung up from the post-apocalyptic ashes. Many of them are very memorable, like The Hub, Junktown, Klamath, Megaton, Rivet City, Freeside, and Diamond City. They’ve got their differences, to be sure, but all of them have at least one thing in common; they’re not perfect.  So,

Intro When it comes to absolute raw damage, the Explosive minigun is arguably the most devastating weapon in Fallout 4. The damage that thing can churn out is unbelievable. But if we’re talking best overall weapon, the minigun isn’t even in the running. There’s one gun in Fallout 4 with top-tier damage and versatility, and that’s

Intro The wastelands of the post-apocalyptic world can be dangerous places for anyone. Caravan hands, mercenaries, and yes, even Brotherhood of Steel knights and paladins. The wastes have mercy on no one, and what may seem like a textbook mission could turn out to be the final chapter of your story.  Several years ago, a

Intro When Bethesda licensed the rights to develop several Fallout games and later acquired the franchise entirely, fans of the Interplay era were concerned with what direction Bethesda would take the series. I’m sure we’ve all heard at least one person refer to Fallout 3 as just Oblivion with guns. And while Fallout 3 did have

Intro Legendary effects are to Fallout 4, what enchantments are to Skyrim. They are bonus effects found on weapons and armor that can open up new possibilities in combat and character builds.  Some of them are potentially game-changing (Let’s save the best for later), while others you’ll grow to despise (I’m looking at you, Junkie’s

Intro Everybody who’s heard of Fallout knows about Power Armor. But when it comes to Fallout armor, there’s a bit of an unsung hero: Combat Armor. Since the first game in the series, Combat Armor has been the premier mid-tier armor in Fallout. In Fallout 3, my favorite armor is by far Reilly’s Ranger battle

Intro Have you ever dreamed of wreaking havoc in the Commonwealth wearing nothing but a bathrobe? Well then, you’re in luck. There’s a mod out there in the wasteland that makes it possible. I’m talking about the ballistic weave mod. There are four main factions in Fallout 4: The Minutemen, The Institute, The Railroad, and
