To start things off, for those of you who don't know me and for those of you that do (no one lol) Fallout 3 is my favorite game of all time. Yes that's right folks it sits at number 1 on my top 10 list. I'm not even sure I have a top 10 list, so that says a lot. Now my question is to all you fine gents out there, do you think that Bethesda played it too safe with Fallout 4?
Now don't get me wrong I loved Fallout 4, put about 30 hours into it before I even advanced further into the main story and by the end of the game I had close to 100 hours into it with a lot of areas still unexplored (most of the important side quests were done though). Now i'm just waiting for the DLC and then I will continue to explore most of the areas around the wasteland of Boston and see what hidden goodies I can find.
Having said all that I just can't help but feel that they played it too safe with this game, I mean sure it was pretty great but it didn't feel like the next big, bold Fallout game like the way it should have felt (or at least to me). One thing that left me underwhelmed was the size of the map I mean one side of the map was just covered with an ocean of water (rumor has it the DLC will be underwater) which I hope is true but I mean yeah.
Also I didn't feel like the areas in the game were as cool or unique as in Fallout 3 and in New Vegas, For example a city like Diamond City was big and full of life and the rest of the settlements just felt really small in comparison like Goodneighbor and the like. At least the content was good in those cities with some interesting quests to do which did make up for it in a way.
But yeah in conclusion the map in general just feels underwhelming and unlike other Fallout games once I was done with the story I didn't feel like exploring anymore, and finding new things so hopefully the DLC changes that a bit. I just felt like Bethesda played it too safe and held back a little with Fallout 4 and didn't go all out like they could have, do some of you guys feel the same way?
PS: Boston, and no snow sections on the map? Comeon mang!!
