I’ll be playing some Deep Rock Galactic. Always end up back playing it. ROCK AND STONE!

    Ah, I didn’t mean mod, I meant character build. Like a sniper, or melee focused thief, or smooth talking bard or something 😀

      Ah, yea, sorry. I’ve only ever used one character, and I think I started with mostly an “intelligence” build.

      My character’s current SPECIAL stats are 10, 13, 7, 12, 10, 9, and 9 at level 129.

        Wow, I didn’t even know you can reach level 129.

        I love Fallout and Bethesda RPGs, but for some reason I couldn’t get into Fallout 4. It’s on my list of “give another try” list, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

        When I couldn’t get into it, I searched different things about the game, and found out character builds of all kind. Everything from simple ones like sniper, melee etc to weird ones, like ‘The Ninja’, and then some even weirder ones on YouTube.

          Yea, I can understand. The early part of the game is marred by Preston Garvey giving one assignment after another, and having to rush off the defend settlements.

          But FO4 has a quite elaborate settlement building component, and after ringing them with turrets and other defenses, they can pretty much take care of themselves, leaving more time to wander.

          There’s quite a variety of things to see outside the city. My favorites are the Glowing Sea to the south west and Far Harbor to the north east (DLC).

          The thing that really gives FO4 longevity, for me, is that the leveling up has no upper limit. Whatever character traits one picks initially should theoretically converge to a character with everything.

            Yeah, maybe I should give it another go.

            That’s nice about leveling. This is how I like playing Bethesda games. First play-through, I do everything I want. Then when I feel the urge to play them again after a while, I play a specific class. Like playing, just a melee fighter in Skyrim, or so on.

              Bethesda games are my favorite. I played Skyrim all the way through on an Xbox 360, then again on Xbox One. I should try a melee character on the next platform, rather than sticking with a long-range archer elf.

              I did play through Fallout New Vegas on “survival” mode a few years back. It took a bit longer since a lot of time had to be spent on eating and sleeping. Fun though!

                Having a specialized character can be fun. Like my melee fighter was a “good” character, who didn’t believe in sneaking or picking locks, and wasn’t great with words. It meant leaving behind some loot, but when you force yourself to play a certain style, it opens up many different avenues, gives the game a new perspective and makes it more fun. I also tried playing with a thief, and a full mage.

                Though, my first character in Bethesda games is always Jack of all trades, I try to do everything I can. Works great in Elder Scrolls, since you can level up everything separately. And if they stick with same formula, going to do the same thing in Starfield too.
