I think Fallout 3 is my favourite, it was very lonely and desperate and felt more like an apocalypse (I say this based on no real life experience of said apocalypse )...

Have you never been to Slough?!

Being massively busy at work I didnt get much time to play it but still managed few hours here and there. Currently lev 30 ish and still spending most of time wandering about killing raiders/supermutants.
To me, the game has a great post apocalyptic feel to it but I didn't play F3 so cannot compare really.
I've spent hours playing the first two original ones so I don't think that F4 is lacking the vibe.
I like the nodding options on both armor and weapons, I like the building mode too, but can't be bothered to spend my time building castles maybe once I get bored with killing stuff.

[quote="monquixote;972448"]...Nice to see the latest patch has fixed a lot of glitches, but doesn't seem to have resolved the menus claiming settlements have no beds or no food when they actually do.

Is that the PC version You're experiencing those issues with?[/quote]

I've just finished the main story last night.
I didn't like the Institute very much so I blew the whole damn thing up - with gorillas and all. I did carry out the evacuation so wasn't planning on killing innocent people but the hell with the white-synthed bastards
I guess now I will play a but less but still want to develop my character a bit more - as some of the LevUp points I've clearly spent on stuff I don't even use, which bugs me a bit as I still cannot upgrade armours, weapons and I'm constantly running out of ammo (does the "finding ammo perk" helps a lot? I need to invest more points in that).

How about You guys? After finishing the main quest do You find yourself playing F4 still?
Are You happy with Your characters? What's Your favourite thing to do in the Wastelands?

*** Spoilers***

I’m at level 37 now, still really enjoying the game. My play style is very stealthy, and it’s nice that with nearly maxed stealth perks my character is especially powerful.

 

But I’ve had real issues with who to side with. I initially took on loads of minutemen missions, then once I’d levelled up a fair bit did the freedom trail and went back to the main story for a while. I worked with the institute (only to see what they were up to from the inside) for just a little bit too long and ended up on the wrong side of the railroad – the group who’s aims I admired the most (I think – didn’t actually work with them at all really).

 

So then I went with the brotherhood for a while to see what they are all about, but find the whole macho thing a bit tiresome. Then the whole Paladin Danse thing was a pain as I didn’t want to kill him but also didn’t have enough charisma to stop him from killing himself.

 

I think in the end I’ll side with the institute, but I don’t like their insistence on erasing rogue synths.

Level 50 and pretty much run out of things to do. Completed the main quest and all the side quests. Downloaded the Automatron expansion which was a couple of hours of fun. It's pretty neat being able to upgrade and create robots , Codsworth is now an elite killing machine.

Big expansion is out in May apparently. Massive new area to explore which looks worth waiting for. Until then I'll probably go on every now and again if I'm really bored, see if there's anything else to discover.

Same here. I've already got to level 49 with my second character. Now I'm tiring of it so I think I'll go back to Skyrim, I never get bored of it.

Still plodding through this. 

Just got myself banished from the institute, father had it coming!

Just defended the castle, I'm only a level 28 so it took some serious effort! 

Going to up my level a big on side quests before attempting the nuclear option.

I was way lower than that (assuming that's the one with the queen Mirelurk) - took me god knows how many tries, exact placement of mines/C4/etc. Of course, if you're not talking about the one with the queen Mirelurk, I'm probably just a bit shite at the game.

On the upside, I did basically all of the Minutemen quests before I followed the main plotline at all, so bitchslapped my way through most of that. Unfortunately, I then broke the main plotline (killed the courser before the battle at Boot Hill (IIRC), rather than making the choice afterwrards), and my last manual save was about 20 hours earlier, so I've given up on it.

I think he's talking about defending the Castle from the synths.

I've finished the main plot a while ago and sadly haven't played the game since. Have to play it at some point...

I bought this the other day - scored on eBay for just over a tenner.

I have to say I think it's really difficult to get into - can't work out how to build anything or get sidekicks etc. 

Got myself a decent suit of armour with the minigun but I've now run out of bullets and can't find anymore.... Can't complete the missions as I keep getting killed by raiders and their machine gun turrets....

Maybe I'm just not cut out for games like this....

I suspect you might be trying to run before you can walk. Get yourself a good pistol and machine gun, don't worry about power armour, and do plenty of quests.

Yep I was defending it from the institute attack, it was relentless!

I'm going to take a break from questing now and build up some stronger weapons and ammo reserves

What Sticky says.

Also - it's well worth to develop Luck -> finding ammo perk as you'll never have too much ammo in this game.
Also - power suit sux balls sniper rifle and steady hand it's where it's at!

I've only used the power armour that one time you have to. Sneaky sneaky snipey snipey.

Me too. I also gave all my guns names, including Britney, Betsy, Jefferson Sniper and Mr Fluffles.

Im at level 17.  Stayed away from Diamond City for ages but finally went and traded for a couple of sniper rifles (one with a night scope) and an assault rifle, plus lots of ammo.  Its made it much more enjoyable and Im not going back to clear a couple of places that I was previously unable to deal with.  I haven't used the power armour either.
