I need to reinstall the game. Why I uninstalled it, no clue. Before that, I was amidst the first rat scene. It's truly a beautiful game. I have Xbox game pass, so I'll give it another go.
I haven't played this game since the 360 era. The modding community is incredible, much better mods than Fallout 4. I was really obsessed with trying to get Fallout 4 perfect with mods but any mods added to that game makes it incredibly unstable.
I've got so many games that I've played for maybe 15 minutes, just to optimize settings, then I never touch again.
