Who doesn’t love a good death maze? Like something straight out of Saw, the Commonwealth has its own terror house just waiting to be found.

Do whatever you want in a massive open world with hundreds of locations, characters, and quests. Join multiple factions vying for power or go it alone, the choices are all yours. a b Brown, Peter (November 9, 2015). "Fallout 4 Review". GameSpot. Archived from the original on November 9, 2015 .

The region, now known as the Commonwealth, is a combat zone, overrun by mutated wildlife and hostile disparate factions, commonly operating at cross purposes. The sole survivor's quest is to find and rescue the abducted child by forming an alliance with, in this document, the Minutemen, and by combing the ruins of the Commonwealth for clues to his whereabouts. Human marauders, mutated humans called super mutants and feral ghouls, synthetic robots called synths and hideously mutated wildlife dominate the Commonwealth. Bogos, Steven (June 19, 2015).

Southwest of the Massachusetts State House and directly west of Swan’s Pond, you’ll find an unmarked location called Prost Bar. Inside this cozy space is a charming recreation of the central bar in the 1980s sitcom, complete with baseball memorabilia and two familiar skeletons.

A hunting rifle fitted with a Powerful Receiver has a slightly higher firepower of 55 but it can't be suppressed unless you acquire a Legendary weapon with a silencer. The .308 precision hunting rifle will replace the .308 pipe rifle at level 25 when a suppressor becomes available with Gun Nut 3. I ended up with 32 SPECIAL skill books (more than I really needed) and maxed out my SPECIAL skills. The armor system suffers from some inconsistency: several times I was a little bit heartbroken to find a new outfit like a tuxedo or a Halloween costume, but couldn’t use them as the foundation of a new custom-built look. Only certain jumpsuits can have pauldrons and shin guards strapped onto them, it seems, and no distinction is made in the item description. Velazco, Chris (June 15, 2015).

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] With Dogmeat as your companion you can get him to duplicate most things in your inventory. These include: the SPECIAL book itself so you can max out your SPECIAL skills, most weapons (Alien Blaster, Fatman, Miniguns, etc.) and most other items you have. Majority of your ammo won't/can't be duplicated though as I have tried doing this with the AB ammo for the Alien Blaster and at best it gave me ONE more bullet for it. a b Reiner, Andrew (November 9, 2015).

The best way to show this is in a comparison video (which we've provided below) but a view from the top of the Corvega factory makes for a noticeable bump on the Pro version. Swathes of trees, vehicles, shadows - even distant terrain - are missing entirely on a regular PS4 at this range, but with update 1.14 installed, PS4 Pro fills in the gaps. The end result is a close match for PC's top settings for draw distances. To be clear, the base PS4 still renders all these details when up-close, but PS4 Pro realises these elements at a greater range. Fallout 4's new PS4 Pro patch given a full analysis, with comparison to the standard PS4 - plus frame-rate tests versus the earlier patch with boost mode enabled. The Commonwealth is a very hostile environment. Bands of human raiders and a tougher breed called gunners occupy real estate throughout the wasteland. They can be low or high level and can carry a weak melee weapon or a powerful one like a missile launcher. Some will wear power armor. Their resistances vary but are usually fairly balanced. With such a massive world to traverse and explore, it’s no wonder so many Fallout 4 secrets remain a mystery. The minute details scattered throughout the Commonwealth are often difficult to find—concealed on top of buildings, buried beneath sink holes, or subtly tossed into a crowded city. Bethesda.net".
