With this in mind, the major concepts of Survival mode are as follows:
Sound familiar to Dark Souls players? With those concepts in mind, the revamp has taken the following shape.
Sounds pretty brutal doesn’t it? It’s certainly not the vanilla experience and will challenge the most hardened of wasteland warriors.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
This basically.
Yeah, I always send him to a fringe settlement on my playthroughs. But that’s just putting a band-aid on the wound. Wish companions turned non-essential after a certain point, then we could solve the problem permanently.

That’s why Garvey sits at Murkwater Construction, all by his lonesome self, and Radio Freedom is totally ignored.
It’s not as bad as it was at launch, though.
“You can only save at a bed”. Ugh, can’t even rage quit anymore.
The first thing that occurred to me when I read about the new save system is that beds are now acting as bonfires. Long stretches of playtime could be lost if you don’t make the right decisions. I hope this turns the game into a more authentic survival sim.
I think the best thing to do will be to ignore all the main quests past the Brotherhood arriving, and subjugate the entire area under your thumb, then run around and kill, loot, return. Only reason I keep loading up Fallout 4 is for my Tyrant playthrough, where I’m leading the Minutemen in a massive conquest of the Commonwealth.
The only thing I want is to extract the “You deal more damage and take more damage” part. I always wanted a fallout or TES game that was a bit more realistic instead of having bullet sponges.
This actually sounds like a game mode that really makes the game more interesting.
It’s a shame that I may not be able to bring myself to bother with the fetch quests and whatever else the main mission generally has you do..
Arealsurvival mode is just what I’ve been waiting months for. Let’s hope it turns out to be as good as it seems.
Fallout 4 dialogue options: 1-Full on goody two shoes. 2-Jerk. 3-Meh, maybe. 4-Explain further plz.Immersion? What is this immersion you’re talking about?
Survival is great and all, but it’s hard to get immersed into Fallout 4 as it is ._. I’m not sure this is going to be a good fit for a game like that. While it may make things more realistic, the character building and dialogue choices really tear me away from other aspects that would normally draw me into the gameplay to begin with. /rantrant
