Dylan from The Game Bolt: "If you’re anything like me, you booted up Fallout 4 and saw Survival mode thinking it was like New Vegas’ Harcore mode. Well, it’s not. It’s another lame attempt at upping the difficulty in a Bethesda game. Nothing fundamental changes on Survival. The enemy AI is the same. Leveling is the same. Perk and S.P.E.C.I.A.L based skills aren’t more difficult. The only real changes are how much of a damage sponge the enemies turn into versus how little damage you can take. Plus you heal radiation and health so slowly that doing so in combat really isn’t of any help. So I got to thinking, what can I do to make the game more difficult without having to get too involved with self-imposed regulations?"

A decade on from its Game of the Year-winning triumph, Todd Howard reminisces on how Fallout 4 changed Bethesda Game Studios, its TV show adaptation and playtesting The Elder Scrolls 6.
They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.
Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.
So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.
I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
If you want a hardcore mode play survival and don't use power armor.
