Really enjoyed Fallout 4, one of the few games I finished and the only game I played through multiple times.

I think the key for me was the settlement building. You could chew through missions or explore, but you can also just chill and work on building your empire.

I read Fallout 76 was dumpster fire.

So any rpgs with a settlement building type feature?

Thanks!

I don't have any experience with it but I've heard Fallout 76 is a much improved game now. You may want to check it out.

i loved this too, but it seems the closest thing to this are survival games. The Forest has a pretty cool base building system.

but from what ive found, there isnt really anything out there quite like FO4.

Bioshock games are the same, as far as the side missions/things to explore. You have your main objectives, but there's sooooo much you can explore. Not only that, but the plasmids and the way you use them on Bioshock is limitless.

I've completed Bioshock and Bioshock 2, and I know I'm late to the show, but I'm now playing Bioshock Infinite.

The original Bioshock is one of the best games ever. I don't remember much about B2 because I was sort of forcing my way through it. I should have slowed down and taken multiple days to finish it.

Infinite is damn good. I don't know how far I am into the game. I just saved Elizabeth when she was apprehended by the Columbia police. I don't know where that puts me in finishing the game. I'm playing it to where I'm exploring everything and if I start to get zoned out, I come to a save point and will pick it up later.

I just did another playthrough focusing mostly on settlement building. I had a lot of fun with that aspect. Its kind of depressing how much time I spent arranging things on shelves.

it still is, the only good thing about FO 76, are the creatures they created for the game. Nailz on that, rest is crap.

I just laugh everytime i'm on and see all the bugs, breaks, etc.

70% of the time when i do one quest(back on the beat), it crashes.

Today i was on, and all the creatures were moon walking backwards at high rates of speeds. Then there was this broken arse black texture, that was no where near anything burning.

And there is ZERO point of levelling up, it does nothing for you once you max out the perk points, and you cant max them all out, you only get so many points to use.

FO76 is just a bad game, and i play it every other day to kill time

Have you tried Subnautica yet? It's a story-driven first person survival game where your spaceship crashes on an alien world and you need to explore, collect resources, and build underwater bases and equipment to survive.

I love Stardew Valley and think it's a great game, but it's very different than Fallout in both tone and presentation. Having said that, there is something fun and charming about taming a plot of land, building the most efficient farm, and getting to know the towns people. It might scratch the same itch for you.

Fallout 76 has gotten way better since launch. It's almost not even the same game.

Same. You can't build settlements in 76 but you can build up your camp pretty much anywhere on the map. Makes it fun to move it around to different locations.

Don't listen to the 76 haters. I held off getting it the first year. I started last spring and haven't stopped playing since. Its really came around, and the building is fantastic especially with the addition of Vault shelters. They are adding more and more stuff. If you like fallout 4 there is nothing more close than 76. Get it.
