Product Information

Bethesda Softworks' post-apocalyptic open-world RPG returns with a new setting, an enhanced crafting system, and thousands of lines of dialogue in Fallout 4. The action takes place in and around Boston roughly 200 years after a nuclear holocaust, with gamers assuming the role of the last survivor of a large fallout shelter known as Vault 111. Upon emerging from their shelter, players confront a devastated landscape where various factions battle for control of small settlements, and the wilderness teems with dangerous creatures, violent robots, mutated monsters, and deadly radiation.<br><br>Gamers begin by creating their character, choosing from either a male or female vault survivor, and then customizing seven different S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skills. They are then free to roam the entire landscape as they please, meeting a variety of interesting characters, completing tasks, collecting bottle caps as currency, and acquiring useful items and weapons. Players can choose to interact with the world from a first- or third-person perspective, and combat once again mixes real-time action with turn-based elements in the form of the V.A.T.S. system, which lets gamers use action points to slow time and target specific areas of a foe's body. Fallout 4 introduces the ability to automatically perform critical hits, followed by a cooldown period, and for the first time in a Bethesda game, the player character can speak. Gamers can also collect materials to build their own settlements, complete with water, electricity, vegetation, outside vendors, and security measures.<br><br>This Pip-Boy Edition comes in special Power Armor collectible metal packaging and includes the full game as well as a wearable replica Pop-Boy device designed to accommodate a variety of smartphones, the Pip-Boy Pocket Guide, and a Vault-Tec Perk Poster.
