For example, Codsworth – the robot butler first seen in the E3 game reveal – will simply revert to calling you “Sir” or “Ma’am” if your chosen name is too out of the ordinary.

This will only work with at least moderately common names though, as my pale redhead called Roisin (pronounced Ro-Sheen) was never called by her name in dialogue. For one thing, your character is now fully voiced, but there are also smaller touches, such as other characters using your name in spoken dialogue, which really add to the experience. Typically, voice acting in Bethesda games feels like they’re retreading old ground, but the performances here make such occurrences rare. As such, it’s a compelling drive to explore more of the world. Characters aren’t usually cast as simply being “good” or “evil”, meaning your decisions are more important than ever. This has always been one of Bethesda’s strengths in its RPGs, but the world building in Fallout 4 is even better. What makes your journey in the Commonwealth so rewarding is that no matter how big or small a side quest is, there’s a self-contained narrative within that’s just as detailed as those of the main plot. To give any details of the plot would spoil a lot of what makes Fallout 4 so special, but it is well told, well-paced, and above all else gives your character a sense of purpose. Yet the world that you return to is hundreds of years into the future, and you do so as the sole survivor of Vault 111, trying to survive in the Commonwealth and what we might better know as Boston. Rather than stepping into the jumpsuit of a distant descendant, your protagonist is actually from before the bombs fell, running for your life as the sirens ring out. Yet I’ve found much of what I was hoping to find, with fantastic gameplay ideas and phenomenal world building.

With over 30 hours of time in the world of Fallout 4, and having completed the main story, I still feel I’ve barely scratched the surface. Humanity surviving in a more primitive state, salvaging the relics of the past and discovering the horrendous conspiracies of Vault-Tech’s vaults are a startling reminder of the lengths humanity can go to out of sheer desperation. No universe has me more fascinated than the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout.
