Fallout 4 has four distinct and unique factions that drastically alter the future of the Commonwealth, which brings up the issue of which one to join. Fallout 4, released in 2015, was the franchise’s first step towards modern gameplay. New mechanics and systems like in-depth crafting/modding along with faster movement drastically change how the game feels. These changes performed well enough to be carried on to the prequel, Fallout 76, while still providing a memorable story experience.
