When I'm low on food, I'll go ahead and cook whatever I can find.
Remember those plants you were able to pick and plant in your settlements? Well now they serve an important purpose. The sheer thrill you experience when you're desperate to find a bed to save in is an experience you'll never forget. Here are three reasons why Survival mode makes the game more difficult and more enjoyable. You could imagine my state of despair when I found myself half-way between two settlements thirsty, hungry, and companion-less. While I won't go through the list of features the mode brings to the table, I'm going to note two things: the mode makes it so that your character must stay hydrated, fed, and well-rested and you can only save in beds. To fix the difficulty, what they needed was to introduce a new element of danger, one that takes advantage of objects and mechanics already in game and somehow fits in the all encompassing theme of the world. Making the enemies have more health would be stupid - plain and simple. Modifying the AI may be the most effective, but it'd be a considerably large project. In order to address this problem, Bethesda needed a different approach. Once you reach end-game, you realize what you're left with is a empty, boring world with combat that's too easy and no longer fun. Towards the end, the game becomes a pseudo post-apocalyptic tank simulator.Īs you become more powerful, combat becomes less engaging. It's a recipe for disaster simply because it doesn't last. This is where one of the game's most imposing faults lie.īethesda spent more time making the action engaging than filling the world with meaningful content, something they did with the previous installments. You wouldn't suddenly see them engage in unorthodox fighting tactics, they simply gained more health - basically becoming better bullet sponges. Difficulty did not change an enemy's fighting pattern. However, like most games, you level up and become overpowered rather quickly.Įven on the hardest difficulty, I was able to breeze through most enemies. Thankfully, Survival mode addresses both of these issues.Ī problem I had with Fallout 4 was the difficulty. and the desire for exploration (or lack thereof). Things lightened up with the release of Automatron, the DLC that added in some much-needed Fallout goofiness, but there were still two prevalent concerns I had with the game:
