Fallout 4 one year settlement build

FO4 is a combined role playing + combat game. Death Stranding is... well it is what it is but it's definitely not a role playing game.

Stories and the world are much more broad, varied and well rooted in FO4. It does not really contain any jumpscares or horror per se, even though some combat encounters can be a little intense. The game allows for many different playstyles, especially for dialogue and combat.

As you progress you can "prepare for battle" better and better I guess, but with building your own character and choosing your path, the battle parts will not be the main focus of the game (even though it's always present).

By prepare for battle, do you mean finding a 50cal sniper rifle with +100% headshot damage, +100% damage on first shot and fires 2 bullets at once? That and an abundance of fusion cores made dying near impossible half way through the game

No jump scares or horror? Someone hasn't been to Salem

There’s a lot more to fallout 4 than DS, although the aspect of main quest + small quests is similar. Although I enjoyed both games tremendously, I found fallout 4 side quests to be far more entertaining. You also get to build settlements so in a sense it’s like.. sims lol just a tad. If you want, that’s optional. You can also have a romantic partner in fallout versus in DS you don’t build relationships that way. I’d compare fallout 4 to skyrim in terms of what the game offers just different setting. All my personal opinion of course. Hope this helps!

It's really as simple as describing the game as Skyrim/Morrowind but a post apocalyptic future with technology that you'd find in a 1950s sci fi novel

Super helps. Enjoyed Skyrim.

I haven’t played death stranding. But fallout is very open world and at some points “scary” but nothing hugely scary. Jump out and shoot stuff is just random. Ghouls for instance. but most of it is straight forward shoot em. And fallout isn’t a weekend game. It’s easily 100s of hours. Just my opinion but it’s easily worth 20 bucks (what I paid on sale for the whole game and dlc) and mods make it better for some of them anyways lol need to give it a run on my ps5

It's nothing like Death Stranding.

Open world action/rpg with branching storylines. The game has mutants and freaky looking creatures but nothing creepy or anxiety inducing like some moments in Death Stranding

I have played FO3 FO New Vegas And FO4 but stopped because I didn’t have time like I used to.... so Fallout is definitely not a weekend game unless you do main quests only

But what makes fallout, fallout is the history and side stories that you discover when playing it... this is why I’ll eventually get back to it some day

I’m actually playing DS now and compared to FO4, DS is very linear.... there is just so much more to do in FO4 compared to DS

As for scariness, it just depends... will you venture out at night in a big wasteland while discovering different characters/creatures and places in FO4? The daytime isn’t bad at all.... DS has a very different feel and creepiness to it as it’s a kojima game, I think both games aren’t scary at all but I’d say you’d have more surprises and intensity playing fallout when it comes to battles

Interesting. I’m terrible at battles but I outsource all battles to my 10 year old in exchange for roblox money.

Fallout 4 is nothing like death stranding. Not sure you could compare anything to death stranding.

If you've never played a fallout game I'd suggest starting with F3 and move on to New Vegas. F4 isn't bad but it's the weaker one of the lot imo.
