So I tried playing FALLOUT 4 In 2023...
With Starfield being less than two months away, I'd like to begin my excursion back to some of the older Bethesda Game Studios titles. The goal is to reflect on the rights and wrongs of their games as we discuss what would be nice to see Starfield bring over or even evolve. From Creation Club and console mods all the way to craft and base building, let's go through Fallout 4 once more and see what it's all about.

"Modders make bethesda games better, they don't save them" I like that quote, like yea of course modders make a game better but they are still good on their own too, people wouldn't want to mod them otherwise.
I really resonate with your point that modder's don't necessarily "save" BGS games. I had a great time with vanilla Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 all on console. Could the games be better with mods? Absolutely. It doesn't really change the fact that I still had a great time with the vanilla console versions.
Want to know something terrifying? We are now further away from fallout 4s release date than fallout 3 was when fallout 4 released

Next gen update will be nothing special. Some of the creation stuff looks awful and I doubt Bethesda will fix some bugs and new bugs will occur like with skyrim AE.
You know I also actually agree that modders make the games better but they don't "save" them. I have platinumed (or gotten every achievement, 100% completed, w/e) Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, NV, and FO4 each, which means I had to complete them all without mods at least once and they were perfectly playable and enjoyable games even with nothing but the official content. People like mods because they can change things they don't like or just add more stuff that's catered specifically to their preferences, so naturally they gravitate towards that, and that's fine, but the idea that the games are just unplayable trash without mods is disingenuous.
This is the second game after Witcher 3 that got me back into gaming after I decided I don't want to play video games anymore due to being bullied for it in school. I never looked back after playing these two!

Fallout 4 gives me ptsd every time it randomly CTDs in Boston in the Series S
Ive come back to this game somewhat recently and enjoyed it even more now than i did back in 2015/16. Starfield so far is looking like a game I'll enjoy even more if it comes out as good or even better than what we've seen
Without the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch from modders, a lot will f the game would be unplayable with mods. Still to this day Bethesda hasn’t intergraded it
"Modders improve BGS games, not 'save' them." I agree entirely - I played Oblivion at launch on Xbox 360 and PC, Fallout 3 on PC, Skyrim on PC at launch and PS3 GOTY, Fallout 4 on PC at launch and then PS4, and now I'm going to play Starfield on PC. My first play through on PC for all of the above was vanilla (with all DLC available where applicable, otherwise bought later), and then again at least once modded to some degree (Oblivion and Skyrim many times and massiveoy modded eventually). All were great launch experiences - some of my favourites. Yes, the unofficial patches add a bunch of fixes, and new content fleshes them out significantly. But the base vanilla game of all of these games are still great.
Bro I remember when you covered Fallout 4 news and leaks Matty. Man, the fallout 4 hype was crazy
Can’t wait to see the new space Matty hope moving is going good know it’s a lot and a tough process
I’m waiting for the supposed next gen update to play this again.
I also started replaying this game (heavily moded) but as a result I get a completely different feel from Starfield videos now. I can see the Fallout 4 DNA in the shooting, the facial animations, ect... It now feels like an evolved version of that (which of course is what it is) while also feeling familiar. It's an interesting feeling that's a bit hard to describe. 😶🌫
Dude I LOVE Fallout 4. I was still in High School when this one dropped and I remember failing an important test because I played so much Fallout 4 when the New Harbor DLC launched lol.
That encounter with the legendary raider where he pulls out the RPG and smokes you, is exactly why I fell in love w the randomness all those years ago
Yeah, modders never save games IMO. They're there for people who want more. I can't do mods on bethesda games surprisingly, I always prefer the vanilla experience. When I try mods, I feel disgusted in myself. lol

Starfield's deathclaw is going to be the fuzzy E.T. looking thing.
I play through it about once a year. I have fun every time
I really, really like Fallout 4. I appreciate BGS for trying new things rather than making the same game like Fallout 3 (which I think is the best Fallout easily). Of course, things like the dialogue system and the voiced protag didn't work. But the settlement system really did. It was the perfect role-playing mechanic to introduce to the world of Fallout, harkening back to the themes of exploration and rebuilding in Fallout 1. It also gave clutter items more value than just X Caps. I do think Fallout 4 is VERY important to Starfield. Starfield directly addressed FO4's major problems with its silent protag, deeper dialogue and persuasion system, return of classes in the form of backgrounds (thankfully not as strict as classes), traits from Daggerfall and Interplay Fallout, etc. A lot of people use 76 to look at Starfield, which imo is extremely ignorant and doesn't make sense. Fallout 4 is the best comparison because it was the last single-player BGS RPG. And its a really good one despite it flaws. But those flaws will help make Starfield a better game. Great video as always Matty!
Jon of MATN uses the. level up system all the time to make specific character builds but he's playing to an audience using a theme and rule sets he creates and he sticks to them religiously. Like, nothing is forcing you to take perks outside a particular build. I get what you're saying but if you're disciplined enough you can build a really special character. I kind of like being an all-arounder but Jon did get me trying out stealth sniper builds and that made my game a lot more challenging.
I just started it on steam deck and i think it's amazing. For being the first fall out game I've ever played.
I like that you are still playing Bethesda games yearly, but i also kind of want maybe a character analysis, lore videos, theories or ranking Fallout 3 weapons in terms of esthetics or something like that. Also, we need reviews of Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines, Alpha Protocol and Deus Ex.
Really funny to me that this video pops up the day I decide to do a new playthrough of FO4
When is the next GEN upgrade coming out?
The biggest problem Starfield has, is Emil Pagliarulo, he's a hack writer and it was he's idea to take inspiration from Mass Effect and Telltale games to not only implement a voiced protaganist which took up 40% of the voice acting and the 4 button dialogue system. Like 'It's a Gunadam' said: "As long as he's in charge, don't expect good stories".

I love the game but the months and weeks leading up to the games release was magical. I will never forget the game being revealed and the slow build up to its release!
Without modding Skyrim is literally unplayable for me on my PC. The game broke down right before they opened the first gates to let the prisoner wagon into Helgen. So yes, for me, modders *"saved Skyrim."* A calm & nice support ticket was even created by me but somebody at Bethesda Game Studio decided it was ok to simply delete it, as if it never existed... without providing a solution.
Fun fact matty, stats of armor to not apply when power armor is worn on top, this includes any legendary effects. I also didn’t know this for the longest time
I honestly have no idea why Fallout 4 gets so much flack, I've played it through more times than I have any other Fallout game and have dumped well over a thousand hours into it.
I don't comment much just want to say thank you so much for being genuine!
My major problems with FO4 that hopefully won't appear in Starfield: 1. Making the first faction you meet the default fallback option for main quest 2. Faction main quests consist almost fully of radiant quests (Railroad and Minuteman) 3. Bullet sponges, especially legendary enemies 4. No unique legendary 5. Nonsensible weapon design
Fallout 4 was a classic and had almost everything that we needed in a "modern" gaming world at the time. Remember our first blind play throught during launch? Nostalgic. The game was actively played for 4+ years after release. New lore, new world. This game is a classic and I cant wait for the next gen remaster. Starfield is going to be a truly amazing next generation Bethesda game.
Playing through it myself with a whole bunch of mods and in survival mode right now, doing a full sarcasm/evil character that looks like Walter White and it's actually quite fun because I never played that kind of character before. But after this playthrough that means there's no other "fresh" ways for me to replay the game, since there are only two options in this game: friendly/yes, or sarcastic/no.
I wouldn't say modders have saved Bethesda games either, but they are required to keep the communities alive. On their own, vanilla Skyrim and Fallout 4 would never approach the longevity they've realized with mods. That boundless creativity should be nurtured in Starfield; it's my hope that they make it more accessible rather than trying to put the clamps on things.
Starfield comments didn’t age well Matty 😂
yo Matty, what is your opinion on why Bethesda hasn't talked about FO4's next gen update. Been waiting on that news for a good while.

Yeah I kind of hope Starfield is a game that can stand on its own without needing a deep modding scene. That would be a real leap forward for Bethesda games. I'm not holding my breath though, after the creation club. It's like they have this mentality of "lets make a canvas and charge people to buy works of art painted on it." I hope that isn't the case for this game but I have my fears, not gonna lie.
I love the settlement system in Fallout 4, It's kept it alive for me.

Salutations Mr Matty!!
Starfield has borrowed so much from Fallout 76 already that it's probably better to say that Starfield is like single player Fallout 76 in space more than Fallout 4 in space. Outposts are camps. Boost packs are basically the secret service jetpack. And if you use it on a low gravity planet then its like the secret service jetpack with the marsupial mutation. Wanted is a bloodied build. And Starfield's bloodied builds will be like Fallout 76 ones because there are three-star legendary items. So you'll probably be able to be a tanky bloodied build just like in 76. Shoot a bunch of anglers in 76, you get a bunch of adhesive. There's a creature like that in Starfield. Even some of Fallout 76's mutations have been repurposed, like Empath. There's a lot of 76 in Starfield, but Bethesda probably won't draw attention to that.
I definitely agree with you on how modders didn’t have to save the games, but they definitely can improve the quality however you see fit. I spent hundreds of hours playing each of the games vanilla until I really felt the need to start modding them into new experiences.
I never had a problem with my character in Fallout 4 having their own voice, in my case playing a female sole survivor she was voiced by Mass Effect's voice actress for Jack, I thought that was cool as shit. As long as I could, more or less, do the things I wanted to do I wasn't affronted by my character having a voice.
I actually struggle to believe there has been more of a gap since fallout 4s release then the gap between fallout 3 and 4
I started Skyrim on PS3, so I played vanilla for hundreds of hours and it was so good. The mods certainly help in some aspects, but vanilla Skyrim was amazing.
As an ex-FO4 modder, thank you. It was fun to add some of my vision to it.
I didnt like fallout at first having only played skyrim: But recently got back into it, loving it, and it makes me so excited for starfield
Oh look at that it's playable with a ton of mods
i remember all your FO4 speculation videos from 2015
All i can say is fallout 4 is the only fallout game ive played once and have never felt the need to go back. Played new vegas and 3 multiple times.
I think there will be a layered armor system BUT it will be a setting that basically you toggle. You will only see your space suits when explorong, but you'll aoutomatically switch you your "civies" when in major settlements. At least thats one thing i heard somewhere

I love Fallout 4! Starfield got me into Fallout 4. And Fallout 4 is getting me excited about Starfield. I actually hadnt got into skyrim or fallout. I played Starfield - and I LOVE STARFIELD. But I kinda did everything, and now, with 200 hours since I last went through the unity, my game is getting a bit clunky. Anyway, Starfield made me curious to try Fallout 4. I did. And I am astounded. The game is quite moving. And frightening. The characters and stories are fascinating. And I really love every moment of it so far. I understand the fallout/starfield comparissons now. Fallout is much more polished (years after released, no idea how it launched). I know Starfield will get there with expansions and DLC and mods. Fallout 4 is getting me really excited about the future of Starfield. I love both of these games.
I still play F4! It’s my second favorite in the franchise(F3 is my favorite). I still love to check out my work on my Minutemen settlements. My favorites are Sanctuary, the Castle, & Vault 88. Also I’m not crazy about mods. Honestly I never use them. I like the original experience for each Fallout game. I’m really excited for the Space base & Space ship building for Star-field!!

I still play it on both Xbox Series X and Ps4. Honestly, if you saw the sheer amount of building mods on Xbox and PC you'd get more into modding. Place Anywhere, Do It Yourshelf, and OCDecorator change your Fallout life. Not to mention older mods like Better Stores, which adds in other ways for settlers to get food. I thought my Marina was good on PS4, but the other day I literally made one where settlers are raising Mirelurks and have a working boat for fishing (which I decorated). Not a single Carrot or Mutfruit in sight needed for anyone.
I really don't get the hate some people feel towards Fallout 4, I just recently finally played it and I loved everything about it (except the crashes). Even the levelling system, which you didn't like, was something I really enjoyed and I actually liked that you don't have to specialize in a certain path. And so far I'm not concerned about any part of Starfield, everything looks exactly like I'd wish, I don't even really mind the 30fps on console as long as it's stable
I want to watch your “it just works” video… I’m looking for it now
I bash fallout 4 a lot but I’ve recently gone back with realistic weapons on top of the standards weapons in the game and I am appreciating it more, the BOS stuff is really cool it’s just unfortunate the rest of the factions kinda sucked
