Fallout 4 is currently one of the biggest games on the market right now. The newest installment in Bethesda’s hit series, Fallout, allows for countless hours of adventuring, customization, and glitches (such as subtitles being missing and other quirks ) that you would expect from a Bethesda games. But when does the perilous struggles of war in the wasteland start to interfere with school?
“Maybe like 10 hours, maybe a little more,” Says Anthony Janoso ’18 when asked how many hours he’s played.
Janoso has beaten the main storyline, and he is now playing side quests and building up his settlements with the Minutemen.
When asked if he thinks his gaming is interfering Janoso responded “No, not really.”
With the game being out for two weeks today, it seems to not have that huge of an impact on school work. It seems that the students are balancing the wasteland with school work well. While saving the great nation from total atomic annihilation is an important task, so is school work.
