Fallout 4: Guide content
The first part contains a strategy guide. The strategy guide chapters offer info on topics such as creating and developing a character, engaging in combat, exploring the world or interacting with other people. We have also given suggestions regarding the best builds for, among others, Universal soldier, Tinkerer or Shooter. In the guide you will also find descriptions of all perks, divided into specializations such as strength, intelligence or luck. In addition, we provide a complete list of companions, along with information on where to find them, whether you can be romance with them and what their pros and cons are. We have also devoted some space in the guide to describing weapons, weapon upgrades and weapon modifications. You'll also find advice on power armor - types, locations, modifications and information on the Fusion Ccore. We have also included a subsection in the guide that talks about creating and managing a settlement, where you will also find information on crafting and resources. At the end of this section, we have included a trophy guide, with a full list of all trophies, their descriptions and tips on how to unlock trophies.
The second large part of the guide is a walkthrough with detailed descriptions of all main and optional quests, as well as companion quests and faction quests. Each quest has descriptions of all of its available outcomes, as well info on how to unlock it and what types of rewards it has in store.
The final third part of this guide is the world atlas. This enormous chapter contains primarily a high quality world map along with smaller maps of certain areas. Each map has a lot of icons informing mostly about the locations the player can unlock while exploring the world. Some of the more important locations (cities, outposts with friendly NPC's etc.) have been described in greater detail on separate pages.
Another big part of the world atlas are the collectibles. The guide tells where the player should look for the bobbleheads, unique books and other items of great value. Fallout 4 is the next installment of the famous cRPG franchise set in the postapocalyptic world. This time around the players can visit the wastelands around the American city of Boston. The game is filled with tons of interesting things to do and it's also non-linear since many of the choices can lead to different outcomes.
Fallout 4: Tips and tricks
- Thoroughly plan your character development. Think about what gameplay style you prefer and check all available perks. Later in the game it could be too late to change some decisions. If you don't have any idea how to develop your character, use one of our example builds.
- Save your game frequently. You don't have to always remember about that, simply set the Pip-boy to automatically save the game every five minutes. This will allow you to avoid the frustrating necessity to repeat the same part of the game if you die.
- Don't wait with distributing your skill points. Try to do it whenever you gain a new level. Even a single new skill can greatly strengthen your character.
- Explore. Don't be afraid to walk off the main road. In Fallout 4 you will find great number of places which you can check and quests that you can complete. You will see only a small fragment of the game by completing only the main storyline.
