But as a pack rat gamer, it still feels like too little space. Even as a packrat I appreciate being forced to make choices about what I collect and what I leave behind. For the survivalists, I am sure that is very satisfying gameplay. Sure, realism dictates that you have limited carrying capacity. Regardless, I never have enough room for all of the crap I want to collect. Now, I can play the game the way that feels most natural to me and be rewarded through gameplay for doing so. This has been my favorite aspect of Fallout 4 so far. There is actually thought that goes into what I collect because each item is useful in a different way. Now, collecting random crap can actually mean something to gameplay. The great thing that Fallout 4 does that has been much more rewarding for my pack rat brain than Skyrim (or Fallout 3), is the settlement system. It took me a long time to accept the fact that I was wasting more of my time than made sense when collecting useless things.īut as you probably noticed, I gave Fallout 4 a higher score than Skyrim. Every time I pass over something that I can pick up, I feel like I am wasting resources by not doing so. Unless you want to waste a lot of time, you will not pick up 90% of the items that are possible to pick up. Its awesome! But at the same time, most of the things you can collect are useless to gameplay. The main thing that makes these games so satisfying to me as a pack rat is probably the same thing that annoys me. I’m lumping these games together because they have a very similar inventory management system. But if one wants to design a pack rat friendly game, one needs to recognize what works and doesn’t work for pack rats in other games. Not every games needs to be pack rat friendly. It is merely a reflection of how the pack rat part of me feels about the inventory of the game. The pack rat friendliness of a game is in no way a reflection of how good or fun the game is. Is the inventory the right size? Is it too small? Too large?.Does the game’s inventory management help you sort/manage them effectively?.
