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.

Every time I try playing this I get motion sickness, no matter what settings I tweak

That js so weird. You playing on PC or a console? I feel like Im more prone to it on console due to look settings.

After the patch drops, download and install the Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch and start a new character.

It doesn't change anything in terms of gameplay, but fixes a bunch of bugs.

It's not a good idea to install it mid-game. Also it disables achievements, so you might want the achievement re-enabling mod.

Your post seems great, and a good contribution to this community, so please don't take this comment as rude. I'm trying to be as polite as I can. However, that being said, your title is extremely vague. I would greatly suggest putting more detail in your title next time so people looking at it next to other posts on their "front page" (to use a Reddit analogy) has an idea of what it's about.

Either way, again, great post! (And sorry again if I'm being an asshole. I'm trying not to be. 🙂 )
