You are probably just a bit shit across the board stat-wise after only 2 hours.
My advice is to focus stats into a certain weapon type, melee, small or heavy. First playthrough I would focus on small weapons as they are the most readily available.

You have to select the correct perk. e.g Gunslinger will improve stats for all handguns.
These are selectable when you level up form the perk screen. It is a grid of animated blokes doing things like firing a gun or detecting mines, or being a vampire.

Lol, you were supposed to use the power armour on the roof of the building to combat it, IIRC.

Yeah. Oh well im fucking hard ain't i.

That's Nuka World done and dusted.  Final Fallout 4 adventure for me.  Maybe just about worth the 15 quid ( if you ain't got the season pass).  If you ever wanted to know what would happen, if only we could talk to the Raiders, this is the DLC for you. Some fabulous new armour designs and a satisfying new pop gun couldn't always disguise the fact though that a post-apocalyptic theme park could be more fun, if only it could be rendered properly.  Pop-in is so bad at times in the main-hub area that vital quest giving npcs disappear because the scenery around them hasn't loaded-in yet, with chunks of the world materializing mere inches from your face as you walk around.   Not good.

Luckily Inon Zur hits the soundtrack out of the theme park and some cool new enemies help keep things fresh.  The new Raider Radio Station is also a hoot.  Pity the main quests in the park itself amount to little more  than 'fetch that and kill those people over there'.  The oddest omission is the ability to enslave npcs despite the fact that you're asked to set up raider camps across the commonwealth and all the park traders are wearing slave collars themselves.  Still, the new landscape is strangely reminiscent of New Vegas at times and can still conjure up some delightful vistas.  So long Fallout, and thanks for the ride.

I had a lot of fun with it but they've not really built on the best bits of 3 so I can see why people have fallout fatigue.

In some ways it does feel like Bethesda dropped the ball with F4 and, while I haven't played any of the DLC yet, the apparent preponderance of base building add-ons only makes the final package just that bit less attractive.

I did have a lot of fun with the base game, and I will return, but I was expecting a bigger leap with Beth's first game on the current gen. I hope they step it up for the next Elder Scrolls.

It's not you Grem, this game is some unengaging hot garbo compared to 3 or New Vegas. I think Bethesda have run out of ideas or don't care about trying to maintain a coherent world anymore.

You can't revel in the world when your immersion in it is constantly broken.

Yeah for sure you can. You can't over think most games.

I've slept on it but I still don't understand Bob's comment.

Well, if you drill down into what's logical and even realistic you'd apparently lose immersion in most games.

For instance and just for example why is every single laptop in deus ex that you can use exactly the same model (orange for personal/ blue for security)

Why can't rpg characters jump?

Although it's ironic that there's not much thinking going on in this thread.

Aye, it's not game breaking but surely they could designate whatever you find behind a sealed door as a pre-war container and randomly fill it from the pool of pre-war clutter. Just a small thing, but it does break immersion in the world and slap you in the face with a big rubber kipper with 'YOU'RE PLAYING A VIDEOGAME' printed on it.

The Deus Ex thing isn't the same. I don't want a unique laptop for every character and I understand why devs reuse assets, but at the same time I don't want to find a laptop hidden in an air vent or anywhere else they shouldn't be. Also I assume the colour coding serves the gameplay, so again, I can understand that.

Not being able to jump in games is equally immersion breaking if you feel like you should be able to. Not sure what you're getting at there Bob.

It's a game that has already set it's own lore and setting in the previous tabletop adventure and the previous games. Fallout 4 takes all that, and fucks it in the bin so that they can throw cryogenic time travel, guns, ammo, armour, crafting materials, flying fortresses, vertibird swarms and androids that are indistinguishable from people at the player.

I look forward to Fallout 5 where they are going to try and one up all of that. 

There is a game that you can enjoy in Fallout 4, if you aren't interested in the other games or the lore or role playing in a role playing game. 

If you like action 1st/3rd person games with character progression then Fallout 4 is good for that. But it is not the type of thing I want to see in a game after I played F1, F2, Tactics, Van Buren demo, F3, NV.
