Fallout 4 ‘feels like a different game’ if you change 1 setting

Things are about to get a whole lot more challenging

With Fallout 4 celebrating its ten-year anniversary later this year, you would think that players have officially experienced all there is to find in the hit Bethesda RPG.

However, according to some fans, changing just one setting in Fallout 4 will introduce a completely new experience, albeit one that is a lot more challenging.

Check out the launch trailer for Fallout 4 below!

Released in November 2015, Fallout 4 is the latest mainline entry in the Fallout series and takes the player to another post-nuclear wasteland as they search for their missing son.

As there has not been another single-player Fallout entry since Fallout 4, it makes sense that players are still flocking to it and luckily mods and the regular update has kept the RPG up and running.

However, there is another way to experience Fallout 4 that not a lot of people realise and user kingwafflez took to r/Fallout to talk about it.

“Playing Survival in Fallout 4 is like a whole different game”, they shared, referring to the game’s Survival Mode.

“I played Fallout 2, New Vegas, and Fallout 4 this year but I felt like starting another play through.

I never played Survival mode but decided to try it.

THIS IS THE WAY FALLOUT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED!”

Survival Mode for Fallout 4 adds more challenging enemies but more specifically, it adds realism by introducing needs like hunger, thirst, and fatigue.

There are also changes to fast travel and saving, as well as less effective healing items and the increase of enemy damage.

Put simply, it is a hard mode for Fallout 4.

“I agree that Survival is definitely the way to go,” fellow user Shepherdsfavestore commented.

“You find so much random food and things like that that have absolutely no use in a normal playthrough, survival really forces you to scrounge around and look through everything.

In a normal playthrough you’ll pass over pretty much all the food and water, and junk.”

So if you want to add an even bigger challenge to Fallout 4, you know what to do.
