Yes, Fallout 4 is considered an RPG (Role-Playing Game), though it blends traditional RPG elements with action and open-world mechanics, which has led to some debate among fans about how "pure" an RPG it is compared to earlier entries in the series (like Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas). RPG Elements in Fallout 4: Character Customization & Progression: - You create and develop your character (the Sole Survivor) with a leveling system (S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats, perks, and skills). - Choices in dialogue, playstyle (stealth, combat, charisma), and faction allegiances affect gameplay. Story & Player Choice: - Multiple endings based on decisions, especially regarding factions (Minutemen, Brotherhood of Steel, Railroad, Institute). - Dialogue options (though simplified compared to older Fallout games). Exploration & Quests: - Open-world exploration with side quests, moral dilemmas, and discoverable lore. - Crafting and settlement-building add depth to role-playing (e.g., shaping the Commonwealth). Criticisms (Why Some Argue It's "Less RPG"): Simplified Dialogue: The voiced protagonist and reduced dialogue options (often limited to 4 choices) were seen as a step back from deeper RPG interactions. Streamlined Mechanics: Skills were merged into perks, and some felt quests had fewer branching outcomes compared to New Vegas. Emphasis on Action: Gunplay and combat were significantly improved, making it feel more like a "shooter with RPG elements" to some. Verdict: Fallout 4 is an action RPGit retains core RPG systems but prioritizes accessibility and action. If you prefer deep, stat-heavy RPGs like Fallout 1/2 or New Vegas, it might feel watered down. But if you enjoy open-world RPGs with shooter mechanics (like The Elder Scrolls or Cyberpunk 2077), it fits the genre well. Would you like recommendations for similar games based on your RPG preferences?

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
