So I figured it's about time I gave this game a shot.

I'm familiar with the series, but never really loved it, have played all previous titles but most of my time is on F3 and FNV.

I think the reason why I didn't pick this up earlier was because I didn't feel like going further into the Fallout universe, it felt like Bethesda were milking the golden cow.

Of course I'm trying it now as I picked it up cheap and the TV series has come along, of which in almost at the end of. It very much feels like the TV show is Fallout 4 on TV, but then I've never played F76.

The game is nice, very familiar to what I remember of F3 and FNV, I wonder how open it is with the perks system, or will I have to put levels into gunplay at some point?

I'm trying to stick to the main quest to start with, I've helped out the Minutemen, and then made a b-line to Diamond City before setting off to find the private detective so still pretty early on. Dogmeat is a fine companion for the road.

Any tips or suggesting for a good start, and play through?

There is a patch landing at the end of the month, so I haven't experimented with any mods just yet.

That was two New Vegas and one VR title. Fallout 4 aiming doesn't seem bad at all. You can manage with a sniper rifle as good as any other game. There is a slight chance that one of the mods I applied might have improved it, I havent looked through them, but it seems to me that FO4 was not nearly as bad as 3 and NV by default.

Globally it's always been a problem, I just shared as they were the easiest to find on my washroom break xD. The aim assist is much stronger.. to strong.. if you turn it off same Ole though..
