Fallout 4 walkthrough
The end days have arrived, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying the main quests of Fallout 4. With a vast post-apocalyptic Boston to sculpt your own stories with, Fallout 4 is an RPG epic like few others – especially if you’re coming fresh from the Fallout TV show and need some more wasteland adventures in your life.
In Fallout 4, Boston is a place riddled with stories of America’s grandiose past, and with a strong emphasis on crafting and building your own homestead and community, you’ll probably want a guiding hand to help you through the wasteland and its biggest questlines. That’s where our comprehensive Fallout 4 walkthrough, which will guide you through all of themain storyline quests.

Fallout 4 Faction quests
We’ve also got walkthroughs for some of Fallout 4’s key Faction quests, which we consider vital parts of Fallout 4’s overall storyline:
The First Step – Part of the Minutemen questline that becomes available after When Freedom Calls. Find Tenpines Bluff and defeat the Corvega Assembly Plant raiders to obtain the Power Armour.Tradecraft – Part of The Railroad questline, which we completed as part of The Molecular Level main quest.Mercer Safehouse – Also part of The Railroad questline, which follows on from Tradecraft, and helps to wrap up the penultimate quest in the game if you side with the Railroad Faction.
There are many more Fallout 4 quests to find complete out there, but these are the ones we used to finish our playthrough of Fallout 4. It’s also important to note that the story will split after you reach the end of Institutionalized, once you gain the ability to fast travel to the Institute. The main quest breaks off into four separate branches here, based on the four main factions. Depending on how hostile certain factions are toward each other, you may find that some quests become locked off as a result.
If you choose to support the Institute, your final quest will be called Nuclear Family. However, if you side with one of the other factions, the final quest will be called The Nuclear Option.
For now, though, let’s begin our Fallout 4 walkthrough by guiding you through its opening prologue, War Never Changes.
Welcome to the marvellous, fusion-powered future – 2077 to be precise! After the opening cutscene, you’ll get your first glimpse of your new ugly mug in the mirror. If it’s not to your liking, don’t worry, you’re free to make a better, more aesthetically pleasing one using the game’s character customisation tools. When you’re happy with your tinkering, confirm your changes and prepare to slip into first-person mode.
Explore your home and greet the Vault-Tec salesmen
Your first task is to explore your beautiful, slightly space-age suburban home – so poke your recently-adjusted nose around the place and see what’s what. Along the hall to the left of the bathroom you’ll find your bedroom and son’s nursery, while the living room and kitchen – where Codsworth, your genial robotic manservant awaits – lie to the right. After a short time, you’ll hear the front door bell ring – so enter the living room and open the door.
