Fallout 4 is such a mess it's pretty much impossible to fix.
stop trying to make f4 into a rpg. it's just not possible. with min 75-100 mods you can turn it into an ok survival looter-shooter, but that's as far as you can go.

Brought the game at 75% off.

  • Very long and boring intro sequence
  • Dialog wheels with little to no choice while in FNV
  • Guns looks like toys. IDK how they could even work.
  • You get a freaking minigun and power armor in the beginning of the game. Geting training to use it was hard in previous games.
  • The minigun has no sight
  • And fight a deathclaw in a city. They in lore avoid crowded places.
  • Radiation is dumbed down and just reduces a bit your hp.

I really tried to enjoy this game but could't... Refunded.

If you are into modding, fo4 can be halfway decent just for the Frost overhaul.

Throws out all of the story shit and you just play a survivor a few years after the war.

I wouldn't exactly call it lore accurate compared to the overall (pre Bethesda) world but it's not exactly a story focused mod either, it's essentially a survival focused mod, the guy who did the FNV mod Dust made Frost.

I'm not shilling for fo4, as it's a fairly below mediocre game, and definitely a shit fallout, but if you ever go back to it, Frost is a pretty decent experience and probably worth whatever shekels you paid for fo4, try the below zero wabbajack for ease of use if it's still around.

For what it's worth I still play 1,2 and NV, definitely prefer those over Beths offerings, but I have to admit Frost makes FO4 pretty fun if you are into the struggle bus style of gameplay

Honestly, I would trust a bunch of anons to write a game at this point in time. The entire script would be written from multiple greentext posts.
If anons get together to write a game you get stuff like Katawa Shoujo and Snoot Game.

> Turn a series of shitposts into a Fallout game
> Turns out being better written and more lore friendly than both the show and Bethesda games
I wish this was actually a thing.

frost vs horizon. who is better and why? discuss.
Personally I like Frost more, as it completely removes most of what I dislike about fallout 4, story, settlements, and the like.

Horizon isn't an awful version of FO4, compared to vanilla it's a better version of FO4, but it IS fo4. Story, overall game etc are all still there.

So FROST if you want to play something else in FO4s engine, Horizon if you want to play FO4, but a more acceptable version of it.

That said Horizon leans HEAVILY into the settlement system of the game so if you dislike it like me ymmv.

Well said. Horizon makes use of all of Fallout 4's half baked mechanics and creates an extremely satisfying game loop if you're autistic enough to learn it and enjoy it but it's still Fallout 4. I haven't played much of Frost but it seems like it turns it into a satisfying looter shooter survival game and removes the main quest entirely, simply repurposing its landmass for a different experience.

Yeah I'm trying out Frost right now in the form of Stay Frosty, it's pretty good so far. Only just started though.

Horizon is very good but suffers a little from feature creep and the settlement system is just not really what I want from an apocalyptic survival simulator

Also you really need to go all-out on fixing F4's horrendous flaws in order to put up with Horizon

(And you still can't fix the core issues)

Stay Frosty is getting deleted after April 30th btw

No idea if Frost itself will be updated
Frost will still be around, the guys who continued to develop frost didn't do the wabbajack for stay frosty, just the auto installer for that modlist is going.

The guys who did frost have a manual installation guide ala Viva New Vegas, called below zero (I think)
