I know this probably isn't the answer you're looking for but my advice is take a break wait for the geck to be released, mod the [censored] out of the game and start a new playthrough. No reason to force yourself to play the game if you feel burnt out. As for what you're gonna do up to that point that's up to you
Take a break. Play other games. Create a new character later on and try another playthrough.
I'm on my 3rd character right, out of four. The 4th one I made for some quick fun times before going back to my 3rd character.
The Options you have:
- doing all main Quests for all 4 Factions
- doing all unique Side/Secret Quests
- built up all Settlements
- explore all Dungeons
I agree with this post., except for the "not for fun" part since what's fun for you may be boring for someone else.
I have the collectors edition guide, but I've only looked up a few things, not even half a dozen, because the "Ahha!" moment doesn't come up twice unless you have memory issues (Not computer memory issues..real life mental ones.) and it's one of the entertaining parts this game has to offer for me.
I have watched a few Youtube videos, mostly on Settlement building and tips and mods, but if it sounds like it's about to hit spoilerville, I stop the video.
If you enjoyed playing the way you did, then the answer is, based on the way you played the game, maybe you're done. As someone already noted, you'll be able to make a very similar, but different game with mods, but for a console player that won't happen for at least a month I'm thinking.
So if you are just an achiever and getting to that fix is your goal, well you got there, and every pie has a last piece.
On that subject, that's part of the reason I'm ok with not giving out just about any game information before the release, because it means that much more "Wait, how many different magazines are there in this game?" type moments.
Explore other factions if possible some of their quests can take you to some interesting places. if your into the settlement building that can really consume time or simply explore
Challenge yourself with different difficulty games. Such as; Never using VATS, only using non-automatic pistols, using limited armor, ONLY using VATS. Stuff like that. Hope this helps!
I anticipate being up against this, as well, just as I did in F03, Skyrim, and any number of other games--including the Bioshocks, which I still can't get out of my mind.
New quest mods help a lot, but, me, I'm focusing on Dishonored 2. I couldn't play Dishonored over and over, as I do these games, so I'll come back to FO4 for a couple more refreshing tours.
Yep, I would start a new character, build the perfect settlements, use mods if you're on the PC to enhance the settlements, wait for new mods when GECK arrives, rinse repeat. Game can keep you busy for hours
^ So much this (bold to emphasize). Sad but true, my wife is making me wait until Xmas to play, and I've found I have to watch very slow players to not spoil everything for myself.
But more to the point, I played Skyrim like this. Looked up a vid for the latest cool thing, and that night went and did it. Becomes not fun fast.
I miss the true exploration (some markers don't trigger until you are on top of them?), and this iteration delivers that.
But only so much, if you look it all up, then.....well, you've seen it all.
Build a castle in every settlement possible... or have theme based settlements. Dress up your settlers, etc. I'm level 62 now on PS4 but still have a lot to do. Just started the main quest line. LOL
