Have moved on to Fallout 4 and have made considerable progress th past couole of days.

Interesting what some patience can do.

Still some tough stretches in this game.  After a lot progress the past few days, my progress has come to a complete standstill.

I go back and forth off and on with Fallout 4 and Skyrim. What faction(s) have you started working on? I really like helping Preston out early with the Minutemen. Eventually he'll get you into a mission that gets you a pretty cool base. I won't spoil anything for you unless you have already done it or are aware of it but your life would be a lot easier getting there if you have the following:

1. Aquaboy / Aquagirl perk
2. Heavy weapons like a gatling gun, fatboy and a ton of grenades, molotov cocktails ready to go

My favorite part of that game is the settlement building. There's so many ways you can approach the game earlier on. I tend to go relatively high in charisma, just high enough to get the settlement builder perks where you can create trade paths to make the inventories all chained and connected together for ease of building and then sometimes I'll go full tilt on strength and endurance for up close and personal melee mayhem fun or agility and luck to do sneaky, blitz strikes for stupid high damage. 

The story can get a little flat after awhile but it has it's moments. If you like Fallout 4 you might really like The Outer Worlds. It's made from the old development team of the Fallout series where fans were happier with the stories. Outer Worlds really shines in that area with real impact to how outcomes play out based on your choices in dialogue. Far Cry 5 is another fun game to try out. Didn't play any of the other games in this series but the 5th installment is fun for me. I want to go back and dive into it but it's got a fun story, mini missions, challenges, etc. 

Easy game to jump in and out of.
