For those who are unaware, "Fallout 4" is an action role-playing game developed and published by Bethesda. It features an open world map and a post-apocalyptic theme, with the player acting as the only survivor of Vault 111. It is set in a post-nuclear war Boston wherein players can rebuild a life.

Described as Bethesda's "most ambitious game ever," "Fallout 4" has numerous accolades to its name, winning over 50 Game of the Year titles from various award-giving bodies and publications. It received the highest honors at last year's D.I.C.E. Awards.

The game has several Mods which players can download and take advantage of. The Mods differ in what they have to offer, with some of them only offering bug fixes while others are far bigger in scale.
