Hmmm.....

I do not see Turnip as a possible choice...

My post is my opinion so if your offended by it ignore. FO4 has almost No replay value for me. Every character is the same now. I can't even finish the main story it just so horrible. I have 1,500-3,000 hours on every Bethesda FO and ES game and I just don't see that happening with FO4 even though the combat, crafting and open world are very good but Bethesda new on rails direction pretty much wipes out any roleplaying. You either care about your child or you don't and as a parent I have serious problems helping anyone else when my child is missing. All the settlements I want to build in are gated behind factions and deep questlines. So I will never be able to make a new character using a save at the end of the vault and just coc over for a new start. Unless, of course you want one of the dozen boring farms with a destroyed house or two and blood stains on everything.

If I one and done Bethesda games I would have no problem with FO4 and think its a great game with just some bad writting but I play for the rpg and Bethesda nuked the crap out of it. 135 hours in so I got my moneys worth but I sure didn't get rewarded for the wait between games. The wait for next ES game is going to much harder this time around.

For Science!

re: Main Quest..... thinking about it, the main quests in Oblivion/Skyrim/FO3, all pretty much lead to the same place, via the same steps, as well. And yes, while some RPGs have "replayability" via having a MQ that branches, that's never really been the case with Beth games. The replayability is in the worlds, sidequests, & character builds. (most of my "new playthrough" characters in Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3, have had very little to do with their respective MQ's. Heck, most of my Oblivion characters never even bothered taking the amulet to Jauffre after exiting the sewers. Of course, I also tend to have different mod loads for each of those playthroughs, which isn't quite easy yet with FO4...)

Voted no. I did a few playthroughs but roleplaying-wise I always end up with the same character. Perhaps it's the voice acting or the lack of a karma system, dunno

I still don't see the "no replay" complaint. Try sticking with one faction for the duration of the game.

I did a BoS playthrough- went to camden police station straight away. While the ending(s) may be similar for other playthroughs (don't know, as I haven't made a second), I did no railroad quests, no institute quests and barely any minutemen quests (which i didn't do any of until after the mq ended).

so from where I'm sitting? I have no idea what everyone is talking about with "no replay value", as I still have entire factions to experience.

Maybe some have spoiled the game for themselves trying to play every angle in one playthrough, or by playing multiple simultaneous playthroughs? That's not really the games' fault.

I voted Yes.

Someone asked this shortly after it was released and I said no. I have since changed my mind. The more I play it, the more I get used to the new style and yes, I will definitely be replaying this many many times.

There are actually two games in Fallout 4. The main quests, then the settlement quests which never end.

This may be the game that pushes me back onto a PC just so I can get all the mods. But if I do that, then I'm going to have to go back and replay 3, NV, and Skyrim with mods just so I can actually finish those. :/

Not a problem at all. It is your opinion and you are welcome to it. I do hope that, at least you got a good value for the playthrough you did have and that it was worth it. Perhaps you'll replay it after an extended break. Who knows! That happened to me with Dragon's Dogma and I loved it all over again.

For me, not all games can have the endless replay value of Skyrim (to me), but I enjoy F4 and I'm on the 4th & 5th playthroughs at the moment, so, I guess it has replay value for me.

I will quit for a while after these playthroughs and go back to some Sword & Sorcery, maybe even Dragon's Dogma!

Well the replay value depends. I mean you can have different builds, so there is replay value in that. But builds are more or less just "ways to kill". Roleplaying, at least for me, is much harder. I guess a mix of the voiced player, defined background and the lack of dialog options makes it so. I voted no, but i would say that it does have replay value, but not the one i am looking for.

Yes, obviously, since I'm already replaying it.

All Bethesda games have replay-ability and Fallout 4 isn't really that much of a difference.

I guess another factor for me is that I don't "roleplay" as some people do here. Sure, I choose/design a character - what it's general outlook/alignment is (selfish, "good", neutral, etc), and a general playstyle they will follow, and what factions/guilds they will do (as appropriate for the game). But they're all still the given character - the Dragonborn, the Lone Wanderer, the Soul Survivor, the Champion of Cyrodiil... So the voice, and the fact that "find the kid" pops up in many dialogues, doesn't change the replayability for me. Because I've never tried to be a different character, just different variants of the normal character.

I picked 'Dreaming" just to be a clown, hmmm....Well, Yes and No lol...Definitely with caveats. On my 2nd PT I just didn't do the MQ so far and just explore...Feels more rewarding TBH then even doing the MQ. No FT involved...

Same here, its just that there wasn't much beyond the main quest. I unfortunately found myself many times saying "Is this it?" after exploring what seem like an interesting location that just turned out to be a raider out post.

honestly this games was kind of a disappointment (don't get me wrong Im not saying its a bad game). I wanted to see what happens to society after nuclear war and how it rebuilds, what morals are kept, and what are lost. More importantly I wanted to see the apocalypse in interesting world of Fallout where there's super mutants, ghouls, and crazy looking tech.

Fallout 3 did it right, that game was interesting. You had people worshiping bombs, you have Harold and oasis, Lamplight, a slaver group, crazy vaults, ghouls vs normal people, monuments, and much more. That game didn't need good graphics or great game play to be amazing cause it had such a great world.

fallout 4 weirdly didn't have much of a world (weird because all Bethesda games normally do such a great job at world building). Ya it although had a few cool side stories, cool companions, and featured synths it all felt under played, like just about when i started to care about something or especially companions there plot ended and they ceased growing with me as the game progressed. It felt like most of the game was just about showing off the new and cool combat.

Honestly, I hope no one gives me that "well, you didn't use your imagination" bull cause I'm an artist so of course i use my imagination and even if you aren't an artist you'ld use it as well, the thing is I bought fallout to explore the imagination of its talented and amazing developers and unfortunately it didn't like there was much to explore so i don't think i will give it a second try

last thing, I like the settlement Idea but personally I don't care about putting my interpretation of waste land life into fallout rather I cared about Bethesda interpretation. I wanted to see what Bethesda thinks people would have build out the ruins of old tech.

I and apparently others didn't buy Fallout just so we could put our imagination into it. After having have experienced the amazing world established through fallout 3 and new vagas (havent yet played fallout 1 and 2 but i will soon) I personally dont care about my take on the world I'ld much rather see what the creative minds behind it have to come up with. I mean just look the crazy vaults, side stories from previous games, or their envisionment of technology and I'm sure the reason why many came back to fallout 4 is to see more of that world told by the developers.

With that said, most of Fallout 4 felt like it was too dependent on my imagination as I fought the same enemies at practically 90% of locations, and was asked to build most of the settlements on my own. The main story was really one of the few attempts made by the developers to tell us their vision of fallout and it didn't feel complete to most. So ya people do have some legitimacy on their complaints about the game and its lack of storytelling partially because that what we came to the game for.

Now fallout is still a great game (ild say 8.5 out of 10) but im still waiting to see more story told by the developers and I don't see my self going back any time soon because there's not much to re- experience. its not like fallout new vagas where you arrive to a town full people crucified or a prison that liberated its self. Its not like fallout 3 where there's a nuke to blow up, or town made up of children, or monuments to find.

It does for me. I like the sandbox world

I voted NO but will still play just because I like wondering around an open world. I have zero interest in the side quests or MQ.

I think the mod community has their work cut out for them this time around.

Things I liked the most:

First and foremost fighting sans vats was much improved.

The gunner AI seemed to be more intelegent than the FO3 Talon Company.

Bobblehead collecting was my favorite part of the game and yes I have them all.

Things I did not like:

With a deticated gamingPC 4 times better an any console I could not hold 60fps when looking in different directions downtown no matter how low or even turn off the game settings.

Very low quality monster textures. I could hardly tell it was a scorpion except for the basic shape. Super mutants (my favorite) look absolutely terrible and their AL is not much better.

Power Armor. The Ooo shiny and look at all the mods wore off quick and I never used it past lvl30.

The very same season(rainy spring) no matter the time of in game year. No snow in the North East, really!?! No summer? The same weather and same terrain(downtown or woods) gets quite boring after awhile.

The MM quests were just boring slogs and it takes forever to figure out how to stop them from coming at you without even starting a dialog.

I could go on but why bother. You either like the game or you don't and there is many peeps in between trying to make it work because we have waited sooooo long.

Oh my science!

I voted other. Still on my first play through so can't comment on if Fallout 4 has a second play through or not. I can't see why it can't but will make judgement until I actually do it.

part of the problem with a poll like this is a lot of obsidiats hang out on the fallout 4 threads and don't like fallout 3 or fallout 4 and they just arbitrarily just go against anything fallout concerning bethesda, so a lot of the people who voted "it doesn't have replayabiliy" haven't even played the game, its like the metacritic site that got flooded with anti bethesda people who just spammed the game rating with a lot of 0's, 1's and 2's and they aren't people who even played the game or are interested in it at all, so this kind of poll on here isn't a true reflection any more than the metacritic user site with there ultra low ratings of the game.

I literally cannot comprehend the mindset that says FO4 has no replay value. The whole idea is so totally alien to my experience. Now folks will make lots of citations exactly opposite of my game experience and I continue to be mindboggled. I'm running four characters simultaneously now as I do for TES and their experiences are very different . I will be playing this game for years just like Skyrim.

Maybe you don't want to do the same faction main quest boatloads of times but that's just such a fraction of what's out there. Maybe you don't care about the open world or trying out different companions or different character perspectives or different approaches even to settlement building.

I can play a different character just fine before anyone else jump on that horse. Playing as I said four very different ones now. If something like this doesn't have replay value for you, the only thing that makes sense to me is nothing would or you just really don't care for the game.

Well if you don't like the game then there is no replay value then correct? There opinion is just as valid. Just like people who say there is replay value love the game. Does this mean their opinion is not valid then?

maybe the game isn't for you, bethesda games are really focused on combat and exploration, they are driven by those two things very much, so when you say there isn't much apart from the quests, well there is but its just not stuff you're into apparently, mainly the combat and exploration, the game actually has a lot of tactical options for combat, with all the varied locations etc, not to mention the settlement building, so for me it has tons to do, i've played it since the day it came out, hundreds of hours and i haven't been to every location, i haven't bee in every dungeon, i haven't done every quest, i've kept busy with so many other things.

Also another problem is that some bethesda fans think that F4 has no issues whatsoever and that only obsidian fans are the ones giving low scores and complaints.

Well i am already on my 3rd character, so i voted yes. To me it has as much replay value as other Bethesda games. Merry Christmas!
