Fellow Fallout fans, we’re finally getting some much-needed changes to the game we’ve been begging (and quietly praying) for.
When it comes to Bethesda games, they have a tendency to lack visual polish.
One could argue it’s part of their charm. However, what isn’t charming is how much it can impact our enjoyment of the game.

There are ways to overhaul the graphics via mods, but sometimes you just want to roam through the Wasteland modless.
Fortunately, Bethesda has surprised us all with an update coming 13 May – that’s right, folks, it’s today – that will deliver “new options for graphics and performance settings as well as further fixes and improvements”.

One fan in particular is hoping it’ll finally fix a string of issues dogging Fallout 4.
“Hope this is fixing the ultra wide support and long standing issues with weapon debris, and the long load times on PC,” they commented.
Elsewhere though, other players are concerned about what these changes will do to the mods community. As one person bitterly joked, “Oh great I was hoping you'd break all my mods again.”
“Hopefully it fixes the issues and bugs that the last update caused,” remarked someone else.
Regardless of whether you use mods or not, the important thing here is that this new update soothes the issues the last update created, not exacerbate them further.

Although we can’t guarantee this will happen – we’re not sure even Bethesda can do that – we can point you in the direction of an alternate quest ending that’ll make your lives on the surface much easier.
If that isn’t of interest to all of you heading back out into the Wasteland after years of safety in the vaults, perhaps the hidden loot room most of us missed will...?
Time will tell how this surprise update fares. Much like war, Bethesda never changes. Still, at least it’s taking gamers’ feedback on board.
