Unit 44

fallout 4

in fallout 4 the graphics were more realistic than expected the characters looking smooth and looked like they fit their environment no matter how much you customize your player,the standard of the graphical look stayed even on low setting, yet in my personal opioning i so love how good it look on high and ultra, its can sometimes seem scary realy how much the producers put into the look compared to fallout new vegas and fallout 3 where it all seemed slightly blocky and cartoon ish in a real way.
gameplay
The gameplay was amazing, the combat systems V.A.T.S (vault tec,assisted targeting system) the new V.A.T.S is now slow motion rather than the time stop in fallout 3 and new vegas this makes it more like it should be and makes you think what you will do for each use of this ability, in general with no V.A.T.S it is still amazing , the weapons look beautiful and have amazing handling leading to the fights where it would make you feel you are actually be in combat with the enemies rather than the older fallouts dead looking mobs you now have theses static and evading targets they try to love and kill you making it far more exciting in combat. each weapon can be customized and changed to look different and have new increases with accuracy and other features that can be increased or added like with the gauss rifle can become a high damaging rifle that can instant kill most mobs.

companions
companions, these ai controlled npcs each have their own likes and dislikes leading to how well you get to know them and learn about their life stories, this can lead to new missions or convictions depending on how you act towards your followers,this could lead to them hating you or loving you for example the companion piper loved you to help and do good thing where strong a supermutant companion hates nuce thing meaning if you do what piper likes with him near it could lead to a full on fight with him or her killing you due to their characters being immortal. the companions will each have their own reason to follow you like you being 210 years old in piper's case or they want something from you like strong dose , making it easier to tell what they will want from you this makes the game more enjoyable and exciting.
power armour and more.
the power armor is made realistic in game by having to be powered by fusion cores this makes your scavenging more helpful not to mention how everything you find can be use to make other items and repair your armour and upgrade it as you continue to play the game and level , in doing this you must invest in certain perks that will allow you to do many more things in crafting and upgrading. the power armour has multiple types in the wastes and can all be found and used in combat.
story summery.

in the main storyline you play as a pre-war army veteran who was placed in a cryogenic vault created by vault-tec to take out experiments on the unknowing men women and children, leading to many vaults killing all residence, this vault known as ‘vault 111’ was a test to see how people reacted to cryofreezing in unknown circumstances, once you enter and are frozen after the bombs drop, you wake up at a unknown time point where you watch your son be stolen and your wife or husband be shoot depending on if you're male or female, you are once again frozen and start your search for your child thinking only ten years have passed and only later to find many more years had passed despite all the other reasons to dispute this factor, when you believe you have found your son it turns out he is a synth and your son is really in his sixties you are given the choice to join the institute and join your son, join the brotherhood of steel or other factions you learn about in the campaign, in my case i joined the brotherhood of steel because i will always stick with a military faction, this lead me to the point that i planted a nuclear device in their bases reactor and blow them all to the next universe,  this happens after you help rebuild the brotherhood's greatest weapon a pre war robot called liberty prime who is armed with lasers and nuclear bombs to wipe out your enemies, the end of each story is open ended and ready for more content to continue the game, before blowing the base up you find the synth of your son want to come with you pulling at your heart wanting to keep him or let him die, this also happens with a companion who after you work with him for many missions and grow a bond you are forced to kill him or save him , this can affect you choices and ending and many more scenes in this game can pull at your heart.
