Its plot, and its character work, is not particularly groundbreaking, instead relying on plot twists that you could spot from space. Absolutely no prizes for guessing who turns out to be the main villain in the nuclear wasteland.

In Fallout 4, your characterвЂ™s driving motivation is to look for your son, who was taken away as an infant by a nefarious shadowy organization some time ago. And while theyвЂ™ve always been well loved for their care in crafting environments and spectacular settings, I would not be quite so quick to lavish praise on their writing. I have, and do, enjoy BethesdaвЂ™s sprawling games. The haphazard implementation of gender-neutral systems, present in one way but conspicuously absent in the next, hints at the fact that the inclusion of same-sex romantic possibilities, or simultaneous romantic relationships, are more a вЂњthrow it inвЂќ afterthought. The way that it has actually handled the presentation and possibilities of being queer or polyamorous speaks more to developer laziness than actual careful reflection of minority experiences. The problem is, Fallout 4 is anything but revolutionary. And, so, there are plenty of people hailing it as a great advance for both bisexual and polyamorous relationships, including a recent article on the Daily Gazette by Kyle McKenney. Specifically, it allows for same-sex relationships, as well as allowing the player to have multiple ongoing вЂњromancesвЂќ at the same time. Note: IвЂ™ll be spoiling portions of Fallout 4 liberally throughout this piece, both in terms of companion relationships and the main plot.Д«ethesda StudioвЂ™s recent hit, Fallout 4, has receivedВ a lot of attention for the way it handles romance.
