Fallout 4

The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skill system also makes a return, allowing the player to decide the importance of certain skills to their character (S.P.E.C.I.A.L. being an acronym for Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck) upon leveling up. The function of perks is altered, as they are now attached to a skill tree with availability dependent on the rank of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skills that they're associated with. The Intense Training perk is replaced by the optional ability to improve the rank of any one of the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. skills by leveling up, in the place of selecting a perk.

New features include the absence of a level cap, allowing the player to completely max their skills and acquire all perks, fully-voiced male and female protagonists, and an expansive crafting system. The player can cook food, craft drugs, add a wide variety of modifications to weapons and armor, and construct functioning settlements.

During this time, the customizable player character lives a peaceful life in a suburban neighborhood in Boston, Massachusetts with their spouse and infant son. However, the peace is interrupted when a Vault-Tec representative knocks on the family's door. The man informs the player character that their family has recently been approved for entry into the nearby Vault 111, one of many vaults constructed by Vault-Tec as shelter against the threats of a nuclear holocaust.
