Exactly. It's a great FPS/TPS set in the Fallout universe, but without the heavy RPG elements it's just not a true Fallout title.

Funnily enough one of the first and greatest mods for FO4 was bringing back the old dialogue system

Now if only they could make SPECIAL and Skill checks matter again

I miss being able to flex on small brain niggas with my 10 Intelligence characters.

tfw 850 SP by level 50

Honestly, when they made fallout 3, they shouldve just dropped the rpg pretense with the change in medium

Fallout 4at least was an alrighr shooter, but it still is an fpsrpg where things either die instantly or domt fucking die

At the same time, TBRPGs are kind of boring.

I mean... an Initiative based "turn" order or time unit system isn't nearly as bad as a classic TBRPG, but it gets old and gimmicky.

Fpsrpg needs to just die as a genre. They always end up relying on sponges

That's an idiotic statement.

Every game relies on sponges.

I wouldn't say that FO4 was a great shooter, it relies on the trope of just giving more dangerous enemies more HP without changing how they fight or think

Oh I absolutely agree the AI needs a revamp

That's what mods are for

I was able to kill almost any enemy with an SNG with the bleed effect

I would say it was a mediocre shooter at best

Every game has some sort of sponginess, but fpsrpg has to rely on that dialed up to eleven

Not really

Good FPSRPG rely on new and interesting enemies with varied abilities and reactions

Which is, honestly, just good games in general

Good thing nobody actually knows how to make enemies interesting any more

Oof

Although i suppose titanfall 2 had some interesting enemy variations, limited as they were

The sad part is it's not hard to make dangerously competent AI

In fact the difficulty is making the AI retarded enough for players to compete

And nobody wants an ai that provides challenge these days

It's sad but true.

I mean no matter how competent the AI, Raiders or Gunners aren't gonna be much of a threat if you mulch them with a minigun as you stomp around in T-45+

But I wish there were more sniper and stealth enemies

>Not using the Space marine armor mod
Absolutly heretical

Like you're walking around and some Gunner Sniper sees you and fucking brains you

So you start a fight at like 10% hp because lmao you didn't see it coming

Ammo variants used by specific enemies would have been nice too, with a smart AI selection system

Good thing is

Games aren't good anymore

Not setting your HP to 1/1 once you exit the vault, fucking casual

So for instance, a Grenadier with a pulse grenade would pop it at your PA and force you out of it, then chuck incendiaries

Fuck

I forgot I was on speaker
