2015 video game
Fallout 4
is a 2015
action role-playing game
developed by
Bethesda Game Studios
and published by
Bethesda Softworks
. It is the fourth main game in the
Fallout
series
and was released worldwide on November 10, 2015, for
PlayStation 4
,
Windows
, and
Xbox One
. The game is set within an
open world
post-apocalyptic
environment that encompasses the city of
Boston
and the surrounding
Massachusetts
region known as "The Commonwealth".
The main story takes place in the year 2287, 10 years after the events of
Fallout 3
and 210 years after "The Great War", which caused
catastrophic nuclear devastation
. The player assumes control of a character simply referred to as the "Sole Survivor", who emerges from a long-term
cryogenic stasis
in Vault 111, an underground nuclear
fallout shelter
. After witnessing the murder of their spouse and the kidnapping of their son, the Sole Survivor ventures out into the Commonwealth to search for their missing child. The player explores the game's dilapidated world, completes various quests, helps out various factions, and acquires experience points to level up and increase the abilities of their character. New features to the series include the ability to develop and manage settlements and an extensive crafting system where materials scavenged from the environment can be used to craft explosives, upgrade weapons and armor, and construct, furnish, and improve settlements.
Fallout 4
is the first game in the series to feature a fully-voiced protagonist.
Fallout 4
received positive reviews from critics, with many praising the world depth, player freedom, overall amount of content, crafting, story, characters, and soundtrack. Criticism was mainly directed at the game's simplified role-playing elements compared to its predecessors and technical issues. The game shipped 12 million units to retailers, which generated
$750 million
within the first 24 hours of its launch. It received numerous accolades from various gaming publications and award events, including the respective awards for
Game of the Year
and
Best Game
at the
D.I.C.E. Awards
and
British Academy Games Awards
. Bethesda has released
six downloadable content
add-ons, including the expansions
Far Harbor
and
Nuka-World
.
Gameplay
[
edit
]
Fallout 4
is an
action role-playing game
set in an
open world
environment. Gameplay is similar to that of
Fallout 3
and
Fallout: New Vegas
, the two previous primary iterations in the series. However, unlike the previous two titles, the gun-gameplay was handled by
id Software
.
[1]
Returning features include a camera that can switch between a
first-person
and
third-person perspective
.
Fallout 4
introduces features including a layered armor system, base-building, a dialogue system featuring 111,000 lines of dialogue,
[2]
and a crafting system which implements every lootable object in the game. Enemies such as Mole Rats, Raiders,
Super Mutants
,
Deathclaws
, and
Feral Ghouls
return along with the companion
Dogmeat
.
[3]
The player has the ability to freely roam in the game's world and leave a conversation at any time. If the player has discovered a certain location they may
fast travel
to it, unless playing on "Survival Difficulty" in which fast travelling is disabled. Weapons can be customized; the game includes over 50 guns, which can be crafted with a variety of modifications, such as receivers, barrel types and laser focusers, with over 700 modifications available. Power Armor has been redesigned to be more like a vehicle than a suit of armor, requiring fusion cores and being essentially dead weight without it
[4]
[
better source needed
]
and can be modified, allowing the player to add items such as a jetpack or selecting separate types of armor plating for each part of the suit.
[5]
A new feature to the series is the ability to craft and deconstruct settlements and buildings. The player can select and break down many in-game objects and structures, and use the resultant raw materials to freely build their own structures. In addition, the towns can be powered with working electricity, using a power line system. Merchants and
non-player characters
can inhabit the player's settlements, for which the player must provide sustenance by growing food in makeshift patches and building water pumps. The player can build various defenses around their settlements, such as turrets and traps and bombs, to defend against random attacks.
[6]
The Pip-Boy, a personal computing device strapped to the player character's wrist, allows the player to access a menu with statistics, maps, data, and items the player has acquired. The player can find game cartridges, called Holotapes, which can be played on the Pip-Boy or a terminal. A new feature for the Pip-Boy interface is a downloadable application for iOS, Android, and Windows smartphones and tablets. This optional app allows players to access the Pip-Boy interface on a separate screen, and play the collected game cartridges when not playing the main game. Another returning gameplay feature is the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System (V.A.T.S.). While using V.A.T.S., real-time combat is slowed down (instead of stopped entirely as in previous entries), and action is played out from varying camera angles in a computer graphics version of "
bullet time
". Various actions cost points, limiting the actions of each combatant during a period of time, and the player can target specific body parts for attacks to inflict specific injuries; headshots can be used for quick kills or to blind, legs can be targeted to slow enemy movement, and opponents can be disarmed by shooting at their weapons. Unlike previous games, in which the player had a random chance to inflict a critical hit, they are now performed manually through V.A.T.S.
[7]
At the beginning of the game, players are given points to spend on a character progression system called
S.P.E.C.I.A.L.
The system represents seven statistics, namely strength, perception, endurance, charisma, intelligence, agility, and luck. When the player earns enough
experience points
to gain a level, they unlock an ability. When the player allocates more points to a statistic, more abilities can be unlocked. These perks can be upgraded to improve the protagonist's efficiency and to further unlock abilities.
[8]
There are about 275 perks available for the player to unlock. There is a soft level cap of 65535 and the game does not end once the main story is complete.
[9]
The player may travel with only one companion at a time, although other characters accompany the player in certain quests. For the first time in the series, these companions can interact with the environment on the player character's behalf. For example, if the player character does not have required skills to hack a terminal or pick a lock, they can order the companion to do it for them. Any companion present besides Dogmeat will react to certain player actions in one of four ways (love, like, dislike, or hate), which either raises or lowers their "affinity". Raising a companion's affinity to 1,000 points will result in them "idolizing" the player and granting a specific perk. Partnership with companions is also possible at higher affinities. The companion will leave if affinity drops low enough, and some actions can turn them hostile on sight.
Plot

Setting
[
edit
]
Fallout 4
takes place in the year 2287, 10 years after the events of
Fallout 3
and 210 years after the Great War, a war between the
United States
and
China
over natural resources that ended in a
nuclear holocaust
in 2077. The setting is
post-apocalyptic
, covering a region that includes
Boston
and other parts of
New England
known as "The Commonwealth". Unlike the previous titles,
Fallout 4
'
s story begins on the day the bombs dropped: October 23, 2077.
The game takes place in an alternate version of history that features 1940s and 1950s aesthetics, such as diners and a drive-in theater, while design and technologies advance in the directions imagined during the era. The resulting universe is thus a
retro-futuristic
one, where the technology has evolved enough to produce
laser weapons
,
manipulate genes
and create nearly-autonomous
artificial intelligence
, all within the confines of 1950s' technology such as the widespread use of atomic power and
vacuum tubes
, as well as having the integrated circuitry of the digital age. The architecture, advertisements, and general living styles are depicted to be largely unchanged since the 1950s, while including contemporary products, such as a robotic rocking horse for children in one advertisement, or posters for the underground Vaults that play a central role in the storyline of the game.

There are four main factions that the player can choose to support throughout the story; the Institute, a secretive organization that specializes in the creation of
artificial humanoids
called "synths", the Brotherhood of Steel, an anti-synth faction hoping to preserve and control technology in the Commonwealth; the Minutemen, a faction that aims to drive out raiders and other threats out of the Commonwealth; and the Railroad, a secretive organization dedicated to rescuing synths from the Institute.
Characters
[
edit
]
The player's character (voiced by either
Brian T. Delaney
or
Courtenay Taylor
) takes shelter in Vault 111, emerging exactly 210 years later on October 23, 2287, and assuming the name of the "Sole Survivor".
[10]
There are thirteen possible companions in the story.
Dogmeat
, a loyal
German Shepherd
, is the only mandatory companion, but six others must at least be encountered; Codsworth (
Stephen Russell
), the Sole Survivor's robot butler; Deacon (Ryan Alosio), a Railroad agent; John Hancock (Danny Shorago), the mayor of Goodneighbor;
Nick Valentine
(Stephen Russell), a synth detective; Piper Wright (
Courtney Ford
), an intrepid reporter; and Preston Garvey (Jon Gentry), the resilient leader of the Minutemen. The other six possible companions are Cait (Katy Townsend), an Irish-accented cage fighter; Curie (Sophie Simone Cortina), a robot scientist turned Synth; Danse (
Peter Jessop
), a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin; MacCready (
Matthew Mercer
), a mercenary; Strong (
Sean Schemmel
), a human-sympathetic Super Mutant; and X6-88 (David Paluck), an Institute Courser.
Seven of the companions become romance options once they idolize the Sole Survivor, regardless of the gender of the player character: Cait, Curie, Danse, Hancock, MacCready, Piper, and Preston.
[11]
Story
[
edit
]
In
the Commonwealth
during the year 2077, the protagonist and their family?consisting of their husband Nate (
Brian T. Delaney
) or wife Nora (
Courtenay Taylor
), depending on the player's chosen sex, and their baby son Shaun?escape into Vault 111, gaining entry due to a Vault-Tec representative signing them up for it immediately prior to a
nuclear attack
. Inside, the family members are tricked into entering cryogenic tubes and
frozen alive
. 150 years later, the protagonist's spouse is killed and Shaun is taken away by a mysterious group. The life support system malfunctions at a later date and unfreezes the protagonist, who leaves their tube to find the remaining residents of Vault 111 deceased, gaining the nickname of the "Sole Survivor". They return home and reunite with their former robot butler Codsworth (
Stephen Russell
), who reveals that a total of 210 years have passed since the nuclear attack. At Codsworth's suggestion, the Sole Survivor reaches the nearby town of Concord, befriending a dog named Dogmeat (River) and a member of a revived version of the
Minutemen
named Preston Garvey (Jon Gentry).
In Diamond City, the Sole Survivor learns that an organization called the Institute has been terrifying the Commonwealth by kidnapping humans and replacing them with Synths, humanoid robots who are indistinguishable from real humans. After rescuing android private detective
Nick Valentine
(Russell), the Sole Survivor uncovers the identity of their spouse's killer as Conrad Kellogg (
Keythe Farley
). The Sole Survivor hunts down Kellogg and kills him, though Kellogg spends his last moments revealing that Shaun is being held in the Institute. The Sole Survivor steals a cybernetic device from Kellogg's brain to access his memories with the help of Dr. Amari (Meher Tatna). Meanwhile, the
Brotherhood of Steel
arrives in the Commonwealth, and a former Institute employee instructs the Sole Survivor to craft a teleportation device required to infiltrate the Institute. With the help of the Railroad, an underground movement aiming to free Synths from the Institute, the Sole Survivor retrieves a chip and has it decoded. After successfully crafting the teleportation device, the Sole Survivor enters the Institute.
The Sole Survivor meets a much older Shaun (
Tony Amendola
), who is revealed to have become the Institute's director and explains that his abduction 60 years ago was part of a Synth experiment due to his pre-war DNA. Should the Sole Survivor choose to align themselves with Shaun, they learn that Shaun is dying of cancer and agree to his request that they succeed him as the Institute's director, helping him track down and re-enslave escaped Synths. Should the Sole Survivor refuse to join Shaun, they engage in combat against Shaun and the entire Institute with the help of various other anti-Institute factions; the Sole Survivor then detonates a nuclear reactor, destroying the Institute. If the Sole Survivor officially joined the Minutemen earlier in the game, the Minutemen will help them wipe out the other factions.
Development
[
edit
]
The initial plans for
Fallout 4
were formed in 2009, when director Todd Howard wanted to explore the world of
Fallout
before the bombs fell. Thus, a team began production on the game that year, including
Istvan Pely
, lead artist of
Fallout 3
, after finishing that game's
downloadable content
(DLC). Meanwhile, development on
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
had Bethesda's full attention, and after that game released in 2011, the studio continued to regularly support it until 2013 with updates and DLC. After that content was finished,
Fallout 4
entered full production from mid-2013 to mid-2015.
[12]
Design
[
edit
]
Unlike the previous two titles?
Fallout 3
and
Fallout: New Vegas
?which used the
Gamebryo
engine
,
Fallout 4
uses the
Creation Engine
, which was used in
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
. Modified for
Fallout 4
, the Creation Engine includes a revamped character editor system that allows freeform creation of faces without the use of sliders seen in previous games. Instead, the player can click and drag each feature of the face to accurately customize their character, which can either be a man or woman as the previous
Fallout
titles have featured.
[13]
Bethesda announced that the game would run at 1080p resolution and 30
frames per second
on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
[14]
Bethesda revealed that mobile devices would be integrated into the game as a form of
second screen
, acting as a secondary display for the Pip-Boy.
[15]
For the first time in the
Fallout
series, the player's character, the Sole Survivor, is fully voice acted, including all decision-based dialogue options.
[16]
Brian T. Delaney
and
Courtenay Taylor
are the two player character voice actors.
[17]
Todd Howard revealed that
mods
for the PC versions of the game would be usable on the Xbox One version and that the team hoped to bring them to the PlayStation 4 version eventually.
[18]
[19]
When asked about the failed effort to add a paid mod system to
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
, Howard stated there were no plans for a similar effort with
Fallout 4
.
[20]
The mods created by PC players through The Creation Kit, which contains the official modding tools, were released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in May 2016 and November 2016 respectively.
[21]
[22]
[23]
[24]
Engine
[
edit
]
Fallout 4
uses Bethesda's Creation Engine, which was created for
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
.
[25]
Dynamic lighting allows shadows to be created by any structure or item in the game world. Howard stated in the E3 2015 Press Conference that the updated Creation Engine allows for next-generation
god rays
and advanced
volumetric lighting
.
[
vague
]
The engine features a variety of visual effects not present in previous Bethesda games such as motion blur,
temporal anti-aliasing
, height fog, dynamic dismemberment, screen space reflections, filmic tone mapping, an updated material system?for wet textures?among numerous others.
[26]
The engine allows the Bethesda team to add more dynamic lighting to every scene as well as "paint surfaces with realistic materials".
[27]
Bethesda released an example on how the engine works: "When a rain storm rolls in, our new material system allows the surfaces of the world to get wet, and a new cloth simulation system makes cloth, hair, and vegetation blow in the wind."
[28]
The updated Creation Engine allows for a more advanced character creation system, which uses sculpting?forgoing the series of sliders present in previous games. In detail, the new character creation system introduces a new, freeform, slider-free facial editor controlled via dynamic, real-time modeling interface.
[29]
With regards to the aforementioned fluid animations, the updated engine also allows a much more open approach to conversations with NPCs?wherein the camera views can change depending on the player's preference from a first-person view to a cinematic third-person view?compared to
Fallout 3
'
s rigid and instanced conversation system. The protagonist features dynamic dialogue, which is context sensitive and allows players to back out of a conversation. In Howard's words, "you are free to walk away anytime if you want, or you can even shoot him in the face."

[72]
Game Informer

[70]
Dan Stapleton of
IGN
scored the game a 9.5 out of 10 and wrote: "The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of
Fallout 4
are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game. (It is) an adventure I'll definitely replay and revisit. Even the technical shakiness that crops up here and there can't even begin to slow down its momentum."
[77]
Phil Savage of
PC Gamer
mentioned that
Fallout 4
is "a loving production. It's filled with care and attention to detail" and that it was "a pleasure to pick through the world". He concluded his review stating "many of

[78]
Polygon
awarded it a score of 9.5 out of 10, saying "
Fallout 4

Legal issues
[
edit
]
A class-action lawsuit was filed against Bethesda Softworks and ZeniMax Media in 2019 over its downloadable content (DLC). The suit asserted that the Season Pass was sold as offering "all of the
Fallout 4
DLC we ever do" for a single price, but later with the introduction of the Creation Club in 2017, those that purchased the Season Pass have to purchase the Creation Club content if they wished to use it.
During the suit's litigation in court, ZeniMax and
Microsoft
had announced plans for ZeniMax to be acquired into
Xbox Game Studios
which was anticipated to close by June 2021. The plaintiffs in the case sought a preliminary injunction to block the acquisition as to prevent Microsoft from shielding ZeniMax's assets should they be found liable in the case, which was expected to be heard in 2022.
