8 of 15Hey, I’m leaving a three star review not because the game is a three star game, but one of the biggest annoyances of being a maxed out player it is impossible to move living quarters when you have the max amount of dwellers and the only way to move them is by getting rid of 40 dwellers and that sucks cause they’re maxed out, PLZ PLZ PLZ Bethesda add a feature where we can at least move around living quarters thank you.
Adding ads is such an insult and half of the times I do not get the rewards from it Bethesda you have fallen so far you used to be the greatest it's such a shame
My vault is already at full capacity or dwellers but I have a lot of room for more buildings! Please increase the dwellers limit! And adding some kind of extra base you can travel to would make this game go crazy!
It’s fallout, it’s gonna be goofy. It’s a real good game and fun if you don’t have Internet
awesome
It is pretty fun to play but it takes sooooooo long for people to find the vault.
I got one word and one word only that describes this game P E A K
Honestly, this game is super fun and I enjoy playing it. However, with the amount of money they have made from it, the amount of time it’s been out, and the amount of resources the developers have, they could have been much more creative. The missions basically all feel the same. I would have liked to see more rooms in missions and more creative locations rather than the same recycled assets over and over again. They could have really just done a lot more with the game overall.
