So, you're firing up Fallout 4, preparing your first journey into the irradiated Boston wasteland. Maybe it's a game that's been in your backlog for a while, or maybe you're brand-new, having seen the most excellent Fallout show on Amazon Prime. Either way, you're in for a great time.
Fallout 4 is set in Boston, a couple of hundred years after the bombs dropped. The opening portion of the game takes you down into Vault 111 as catastrophe strikes, and when you awaken and leave the vault, the world outside is very different. No story spoilers as to why you're leaving underground safety, but you're going on a very important mission.
