The game is ok but needs some work done. The textures are massive and uncompressed which wastes resources and game space and makes downtown a nightmare on demolitionist play throughs. This even includes rocks which is why they have mods to change the rock texture which is sadly enough for a 5 fps boost downtown and another mod doing the same but with landscapes and other assets while retaining decent quality allowing for more ellaborate settlements before the excessive lighting eventually catches up to me. After the main quests the side jobs just recycle endlessly. The Karma system has been removed so if you have played a previous fallout this one will feel strange to you. Oh a warning do not play with the fatman unless you are on a tower or hill as the firing distance has been dramatically improved and the only mod makes it fire a MIRV at half the distance of the normal round, I know it says about 400hrs but offline time is about the same if not longer but for some reason is not added, In summary Bethesda should work with mod makers to improve the base game with things like bug fixes, item tweeks, texture compression, and spellchecking. If it sounds weird that the community had to make mods to fix this stuff because bethesda didn't take the time to finish checking the game you understand why it is hard to recomend this gane no matter how pretty it tries to be,
