It is the essential post-apocalyptic open-world role-playing game, now giving you more power over the world than ever.Establish settlementsOne of the core features of Fallout 4 gameplay is the ability to found new villages from the ground up. Gather resources during your travels and use them to build houses, defenses, and gadgets to equip the settlers with. Create farms, supply routes and elaborate electric systems controlling automated turrets against bandit raids and wild animals. See how the inhabitants and traders grow in numbers as you improve the settlement.Meaningful progressionFallout 4 abandons the skillpoint-based progressions of previous Fallouts and introduces a Perk-based system. As you level up, you will gain a Perk point to spend in a convenient and graphic menu on traits that will provide immediate, measurable upgrades to your abilities. Your in-game avatar becomes powerful faster than ever. Without a maximum character level, eventually you will become the master of all disciplines if you wish.Game-changing crafting systemUse scavenged materials to create modifications to your weapons and armor. Mods not only change, often drastically, how your equipment works, but also provide a significant change to how it looks. So change your laser rifle into a scattergun, add sawblades to your baseball bat, or line your armor with asbestos and see how it changes your experience. The number of possible upgrades and sidegrades is sufficient to keep everyone invested in tinkering.Diverse, colorful game worldThe Boston area is ripe with interesting locations to visit.
