NPCs potentially dieing without the player noticing has one even easier counter: Protected. It's a flag in the Creation Engine which makes an NPC unkillable unless the player deals the final blow. So you can actually have both things, NPCs not dieing to NPCs, but the player still being able to kill them.

Having all the music on radio be about atomic power and war also goes against one of the themes set in Fallout games - the tragedy of the apocalypse. Listening to normal pre-war music creates contrast with the wasteland you see now while listening to Fallout 4 music does not.

2:08:30 absolutely agree. I ended up farming radiant quests for the brotherhood in my first playthrough.the one where you go to different places, kill all, then pack up and leave. Sure, I did a few the right way, until once, the synths shot a car which blew my escortee up. The quest updated, I took her loot to give it to kells as a kind of memorial, then went back. Kells said “that sucks. Wanna try again and GAVE ME EXP.” So I did it again, but this time, I took them to the farm shed behind the airport and shanked him, looted him and came back. Same result. I did this for about 3 hour, just piling up bodies. Eventually, I had killed about 50 scribes and Had levelled around 20 times, all for doing nothing, honestly, the loading screens were the reason I stopped.

I can't believe they didn't have a mission tree that resulted in you *_reviving Nora's frozen body and installing a Synth component to make her live again_* as a Synth. Then she has a reset memory, but you can take her with you as a companion and possibly romance her. That would have made the Institute section with Father so much better. You may have been able to convince Shaun!

[@DailyCorvid]

@Gyrfalcon312 I honestly though that was going to be why Synth Sean was a thing and why he was ok with killing mummy off so early. But no Bethesda just thought it would be quirk and did absolutely nothing with it! Imagine what they could have done with it. What a waste. Memory resetting Nora in order to save her life in the form of a Synth, going against Shaun by doing it - and then she could depending on your choices choose to go back and be with the Institute or go against Shaun and the institute with you. Also it would have been great to have her responses during the Brotherhood bit where Danse finds out he is a Synth and even when you go to far Harbour. Perhaps they can do a remake in future with that, I would love to see it.

[@rtvtictaczac727]

It is of my opinion with the character creation is that Bethesda tried to have their cake and eat it to. In my opinion they should have chose a route, either give us the typical RPG character set up and give us almost no backstory other then your a vault dweller who was around when the bombs dropped and frozen, and allow you to shape your character including your appearance and name to how you wish. OR they can do what they did in 4 but remove the name and character creator just call you Nate remove the Nora option and make it a single player looter shooter open world set within fallout with a set character with his own backstory but you can still allocate your stats whichever way you wish kinda like Borderlands. That would have been fine if they had balls and stuck with it instead it feels like they stuck their toes in it and got scared and went back to a roll play while keeping their toe in the water making it a confusing mess that pretends to give the player freedom but actually doesn't. Like your telling me Codsworth called your character sir Nate before the game starts but now all of a sudden just because you wrote down buttstallion on a vault tech resident information sheet that Codsworth wasn't even present to witness now all of a sudden your name is Buttstallion and he calls you sir Buttstallion accordingly but your still a non power armor foot solider with a wife named Nora and child named Shaun. I feel if they had ran with the direction they did but removed the "roll play" side of things it would be much better but they honestly should have just got rid of the backstory all together and let us roll play the intro changes absolutely 0 if that was the case you can still be a husband or wife moments before the bombs dropped, you can still be frozen in vault 111 and your spouse can still be killed and Shaun can still be kidnapped and you could have still easily came up with who your character was pre war just fine. Either one works but Bethesda decided to try both and it fails immensely

He was a critic who couldn't take criticism. He made a neir automata video that makes some pretty bad mistakes. He got criticized for it, then he made a video crying hysterically and having a complete meltdown, then he deleted the channel. Guy just couldn't take the heat, so he got out of the kitchen.

[@Gogohunter]

@Real Fails I know the story man I just feel there was more videos. Its sucks he let fans of such a shitty franchise get too him because he was the OG

Flyover on a vertibird is an engine flex, I kinda like it. You don't expect anything like that on this engine.

[@christianleske3739]

It’s the same Problem like with new action movies. They value new graphic effects over story writing. And they dumb the Games down to get more and more players who would never have touched a dark and „complicated“ game like Fallout 1&2.

[@christianleske3739]

BTW: good review. Sub and liked. Greetings from a 40 year old child who was „addicted“ to Fallout 2😎🖖🏼

[@nork9459]

Kudos on all of this, I haven't given Beth money in well over a decade. I had the love for TES that you did for Fallout and Skyrim's writing put a stake in me. Michael Kirkbride's ketamine trip taught me what good opaque writing was and Emil demoted the throne he fell off to a plastic garden chair. Hope it melts, But it won't.

[@monfrezo]

wow, absolutely amazing review, i can understand the people against it, telling the truth in a world full of lies is frowned upon and that's saying it lightly. Bravo, the game could have been so much more, if the developers didn't half ass it, as we saw them do with redfall, might this be the beginning of the end for bethesda. How the game is even categorized as RPG, is an unsolved mystery to me, when it's clearly an LPG (linear playing-game)

On the topic of radio, half of the songs you complain about being about atomics and rockets are ripped from the CONELRAD FNV mod. It's not a coincidence.

[@BLYOOOOO]

Still best Fallout 4 video. Thank you very much for reuploadings. Shame about music between chapters. KZbin in these days is ridiculous.

[@ryszakowy]

only thing mr caption said wrong is special you COULD makie a weak character - there was a window saying that you should use all points but you legit could start a game without doing so (unless i played something else) and failout 4 limiting special like that is stupid 1. real fallout games give you no way of incerasing your special later except "gain stat" perks which you can take only once at around level 15 or so and less than 4 specific places where you have to do something to gain the point - like very costly operations or fuck all expensive implants 2. failout 4 literally puts special on that god awful perk chart and you can level them up which is completely stupid because it has no level limit meaning you will be maxed out sooner or later and the way failout 4 plays it's sooner

[@atrixtussand2369]

About the Institute. I guess what Emil was trying to say is that science must be in constant check otherwise it can go astray with vanity projects such is the Gen 3 synths. Additionally, i think he also tried to force in a joke faction to a degree. As in, imagine what would happen to the world if all those bullied geeks and nerds from high school suddenly came in position of wielding an immense power. They would go ape shit on everyone and anything and try to justify it with the words like: " Its for your own good", or in Fallout case " A betterment of mankind". I guess that was the original leadership of the Institute once. Destroying CPG becuse "intellectually inferior" residents of the Commonwealth refuse to bow to them unconditionally. So they get sourpuss and make life real difficult for the surface dwellers with stuff like homemade Super mutants and kidnappings and prototype terminators. By the time of the events of the game take place this behavior was no longer a case of show of force, it was a tradition. In game Institute knows nothing better than "sticking to their guns". I wont lie Institute had a lot of potential as a faction but because of Emil's special way of writing we got what we got.

[@whiteninjaplus5]

I bet why they made the dialogue descriptions vague instead of exactly what the voice actor will say is because it could get boring hearing a repeat of what you just read. Then most people would just skip their own characters dialogue.

[@ryszakowy]

that's exactly why full dialog said by character was modded in as one of first things into the game

[@Ike_of_pyke]

This is a negative to me. I'd rather have no voice main character at that point and instead using those resources to allow expanded dialogue (I.e. wild wasteland-esqe dailgoue and Low iq responses.)

Fallout 3 had a better excuse because they had a constant threat of super mutant attacks keeping them from moving forward but fallout 4 didn’t have that and arguably was heading the way of California until the institute destroyed the newly forming government

[@MSTavares]

From all the reviews on Fallout 4, your is the better one, and I have seen all of them. Most reviews are either people screaming, and throwing insults as if that made their arguments true, or it was people masquerading a Fallout New Vegas review under the guise of a Fallout 4 review, with few being a mix of both that always have the "I'm doing this, because I am a Fallout fan, and want the best for Fallout 4", while refusing to play Fallout, because Bethesda bad.

[@vaultboya6253]

Mister caption was one salty mf about fallout 4 lol. I don't blame him tho. I was pretty neutral about it when it came out because I already knew bethesda was gonna fuck it up. They are just a bunch of greedy, shit story writers and mediocre programmers. I didn't even watch the TV show that just cameo out because I don't feel like watching one of my favorite series get spit on and kicked relentlessly

[@GA-br8wj]

Never cared for my "son" Shaun, not for a single second, pretty uninteresting start for a game. The only values for Fallout 4 are exploration and modability, story is worthless, most factions are worthless, I can only see the Brotherhood as barely interesting, just barely.

[@iamfine2624]

1:50:42 funny he says that, because that just reminded me; Emil said that he wanted to put Skyrim's magic system in fallout 4

[@dmas7749]

currently my fallout 3 playthrough isn't following the main quest and my Lone Wanderer's excuse is that while she doesn't hate her dad she's always felt treated like a child. she doesn't feel the need to look for him since she's now free to punch raider and junkie scum in the face, and whatever her dad is doing now is his own business anyhow. this is a specific case but i wanted to bring it up. thank you for bringing up infinite levelling. i've argued with comments saying that it invalidates previous games and i'm sorry what? it actually infuriates me how people actually buy this lazy slop. as if level scaling didn't already make the act of levelling already hollow and empty.

It suddenly occurs to me, that Preston Garvey mentions his group were traveling through Concord - meaning they were newly arrived to the area... and that the raiders they were fighting could very likely have been living in those ruins, when Garvey's group showed up, invaded the most well-preserved structure and started shooting the locals if they tried to get in. In which case, the raiders were defending THEIR territory, and Preston is a violent psychopath who displaced a group of people from their homes by force, so he and his friends could have a roof over their heads. Just a random thought that came to me... 🤔

[@MollyMargolisBillCipherIsBae]

I’ve never played Fallout 4, so you stating that the music is basically unrelated to the area is somewhat disappointing. I grew up with family in the Boston Area, so MA is a place I’m pretty well acquainted with. There are songs that are uniquely known in MA. The best example I can think of off the top of my head is “The Man Who Never Returned”, a song about a man getting stuck on a Boston subway train. Considering the fact that the Boston subway tunnels (the T) are clearly present in postwar America in the Fallout universe, this song would likely have existed (I don’t know the date it was released, so I’ll have to look it up). It’s a shame they missed that opportunity.
