Ammo now has weight, so you can no longer run around with a bunch of ammunition. You will now have to sleep daily otherwise you will get fatigued and lose a certain amount of AP (Action Points). I can't believe I'm eating grilled radroaches and mutt-chops.
This helps add to the realism and challenge since you will need to always have your next meal planned out. You will now have to keep yourself hydrated and fed.
You will have to rely on audio cues and spam the VATS system if you're nervous. Now while in combat there could be an enemy around the next corner but they will not show up on the radar. In other modes your radar would show enemy locations which made combat simpler since it was much harder to get surprised by enemies. Are you in the closing phases of 'The Secret of Cabot House' but have to take your dog to the vet? In other modes you could simply save and continue when you get back, but in Survival mode unless you can find a bed you're going to have to start over from your last save. This one can be a bit of a pain, especially for those of us with real world interruptions that can't wait. No more saving before a big battle, unless there is a bed handy. There are workarounds later in the game via Vertibirds but generally you're going to be doing a lot of walking, which isn't a bad thing (more on this later). Fast travel is disabled so now you will have to plan carefully all your various expeditions. Before we get into the meat of the review let's cover the key points of Survival mode. This changed when I heard that a new Survival mode had been added to the game. So rather than replay I decided to move onto other games. Regardless of your dialogue choices the outcome would rarely seem to change.
But I felt the story and the dialogue options in particular a downgrade. The graphics and combat were a definite upgrade and I enjoyed the Commonwealth setting. I initially completed the game on normal difficulty and enjoyed it well enough. That might be an absolute in the Fallout series but I can say without reservation that Fallout 4 changes considerably if you play it in Survival mode.
