Might go back to this now that the next gen update is real with a release date. Would have loved it if some quality of life mods were brought in with this update especially for the console versions like what CD Red did with Witcher 3 next gen update. Having the mod that fixes the dialogue system would have been great. But alas, don't see any reference to this kind of thing from what I read of the next gen update.

I bought the GOTY edition on PS4 for like $10 and never really played. I'll try it on PS5.

The next one is not coming before 2030+ 🤦‍♂️

For me, going back from the beginning and replaying Fallout 4 with this next gen update is more appealing than getting Starfield and playing that. Fallout 4 still looks more interesting than Starfield. Never thought I would've said that post Starfield.

Really liked Far Harbour, not sure if its in the Goty edition, i would imagine so,

I think it really elevates the game, from being good to excellent.

Hopefully this doesn't screw up compatibility with existing mods and fallout London in particular.

That was my first thought, Fallout London supposedly coming out April 23rd.

Mod breaking with patches and updates is a staple but usually, in most games, modders are able to quickly manage it in a day or two most of the time.

Can always not update to be on the safe side anyway.

Edit: Screwed up the dates.

Didn't hit like fallout 3 did for me & I'm not a fan of base building in games

I actually love base building (I'm a big CIV and RTS fan at heart) but it's the story and gameplay that I didn't like.

Especially the twist with the MC's you lnow who near the end.

The actual gameplay was the usual clunky Bethesda jank

TBF I only played it for a few hours & didn't get into it , I might give it another shot with the upgrade though aslong as base building isn't something that I have to do lol
