Been replaying heavily modded Tale of Two Wastelabds and have been having a blast. Fallout 3 is a lot better with NV’s mechanics.

Something to note. This doesn’t explicitly mention sales, just concurrent players. That isn’t to say there weren’t sales, but this just indicates people going back to play the games more than it does explicitly mean there was a bunch of new sales.

76 is having a free to play week, which will definitely boost the number of players. It was interesting at first, but the more I play it the more the MMO aspects make me want to go back to Fallout 4 and NV.

Well the huge discounts also helped a bit

76 is currently free to try. It made me want to go back and finish Fallout 4.

I want to play 4 but i also want to play with proper VATS…

Is there an option or a mod for this?

If i wanted to play a shooting game, i would play FPS.

When you say “proper VATS” are you referring to Fallout 1 & 2?

Even FO:3 and FO:NV vats is fine

Anything that doesnt force me to play like an FPS. Anything that pauses combat fully… Or better yet make it fully turn based

I don’t remember Fallout 4 VATS being any different from 3 or NV
