Intro There are only a handful of companions in Fallout 4 that aren’t tied to a faction, and Hancock is one of them. Instead, he’s an anarchistic ghoul, and also the mayor of Goodneighbour, although his governmental tenure is far different from that of McDonough in Diamond City. Rather than ruling through fear and control, […]

Intro Fallout 4 has a pretty wide and diverse cast of followers. With so many on offer, someone has to fill the role of being a basic introductory companion for the player. Enter Piper. Despite being the fifth companion that the player actually meets, Piper is by far the most accessible of the bunch. That’s

Intro Out of Fallout 4’s entire compendium of followers, none are quite as beloved as Nick Valentine is. This warn-down, sarcastic Synth detective is full of cynicism and wit, making him the perfect wasteland companion. Not only is Nick one of the only Fallout 4 followers with a personal quest, but his backstory directly ties

Fallout 4’s followers are incredibly hit or miss. At least, they are for me. However, Curie is honestly just great. She isn’t just my favorite Fallout 4 follower, but one of my favorites from the entire franchise. It’s rare to find a character that has both a loveable personality and actual effectiveness in combat, but

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

Intro Goodneighbor is home to shady people, an Assaultron weapon vendor overly enthusiastic about murder, and several great quests for the Sole Survivor to take on. One such quest is The Big Dig. The Big Dig has some great rewards and is also a requirement if you wish to have Goodneighbor’s mayor, Hancock, as a

Intro Fort Hagen is one of the most memorable locations in Fallout 4. It marks the halfway point of the main questline and is the battleground for your showdown with the man who kidnapped your son and murdered your spouse.  It’s also home to a lot of great loot and crafting components. But these rewards

Intro The world of Fallout is filled with fictitious brands that serve to flesh out its history and breathe life into what otherwise would be a barren landscape. One particular brand stands above the rest. Delicious, crisp, refreshing, slightly radioactive, strangely addictive – there’s no shortage of adjectives to describe the premier soda pop of
