I didn’t invest in crafting or the settlements (didn’t fit my character) and I eventually hit a stalemate in the higher levels against enemies who could out gunned me in a matter of seconds (I brought a baseball bat to a laser gun fight). But because I created Buddy Sideshow, the con businessman, looking to maximise my Speech skill and take advantage of my charisma I discovered the game quickly closed itself off from me. However at its core, Fallout 4 is an action game with a veneer of its RPG roots. I’d hoped Fallout 4 would be a new chapter for BS Enterprises. Such was the business accumen of Buddy Sideshow Enterprises. With my high Speech skill I negotiated my way through the game using my baseball bat to silence any conflicts against my interest. I sold a kid into slavery, I had a companion who was my muscle should things get rough, I looted and pick pocketed, all with a smile on my face.

In the past year I’ve played three other entries in the series, each time looking to capture that feeling of exploration I felt when I stepped out of the vault in Fallout 3 for the first time. I played Fallout: New Vegas and while it is rightly recognised as the peak role playing experience of the Bethesda published games, I drifted away from the Mojave desert and have never been inclinced to return to it’s sparsely populated New Vegas strip.
