Set in the year 2287, a decade after Fallout 3, the player, known as the "Sole Survivor," emerges from cryogenic stasis in Vault 111. After witnessing their spouse's murder and child's kidnapping, the Sole Survivor explores the Commonwealth to find their missing son, encountering quests, factions, and a vast, dilapidated world.

Fallout 4 introduces settlement development, extensive crafting, and a fully-voiced protagonist. While praised for its depth, player freedom, content, story, characters, and soundtrack, some critics noted simplified RPG elements and technical issues. The game received accolades, sold 12 million units in its first day, and earned several Game of the Year awards. Bethesda released six downloadable content add-ons, expanding the game further.

The gameplay is similar to its predecessors, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. The shooting mechanics were handled by id Software, and players can switch between first-person and third-person perspectives. The game includes familiar enemies like Mole Rats, Raiders, Super Mutants, Deathclaws, and Feral Ghouls, along with the loyal companion Dogmeat.

New features include a layered armor system, base-building, and an extensive crafting system that allows players to modify over 50 guns with more than 700 available modifications. Power Armor is redesigned, requiring fusion cores and allowing modifications like jetpacks. Settlements can be crafted and deconstructed, with the player providing resources and defenses to protect against attacks.

The Pip-Boy, a wrist-mounted computing device, allows access to stats, maps, and items. V.A.T.S. (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) returns, slowing down real-time combat and allowing targeted attacks on specific body parts.
