If such an action-packed power fantasy isn’t what you signed up for, Bethesda offers you its survival mode where you can still do all of those things, except you need to keep yourself hydrated, fed, and otherwise healthy while you do it. Still, once you get a hang of it, Fallout 4 is more about being a force of destruction and blowing everyone up for the good of your faction and your ideals – as well as finding your son. Supplies are scarce, there are giant irradiated beasts out to get you, and almost everyone you meet is either trying to kill you or soon to be killed.
Surviving in a post-apocalyptic Wasteland is one of the core concepts behind the Fallout franchise.
