It’s an ironic tagline, though, since the Sole Survivor should have no illusions that home will ever be the same. One of Fallout 4’s themes is “welcome home”, so much so that it’s the game’s tagline. A personal journeyĪll Fallout games are about building and running societies, but 4 has a much more personal edge that’s reflected in numerous choices ranging from the voiced protagonists to the lead piano in Inon Zur’s theme. This is just about narrative engagement, one of the inconsistent parts of the experience. It has a great story and Bethesda Game Studios risked some bold changes, most of which paid off. Note: For the record, I really liked Fallout 4. Why didn’t I find my journey as Nora the lawyer as engaging as Nate the soldier? The player character’s background as a veteran is integral to Fallout 4’s themes.
This has been criticized for falling short of gender neutrality and for practical reasons – the character’s skills and knowledge – but my big issues are with the character’s emotional journey.
A month or two after Fallout 4 launched I started my second character and something immediately bothered me: the male and female player characters have different backgrounds.
