The events of Fallout 4 occur in 2287 a decade after Fallout 3 and six years after the events of Fallout: New Vegas. Other notable locations that make an appearance in the game are Scollay Square, renamed Goodneighbor, Bunker Hill, and Fenway Park, which is renamed Diamond City. Famous local landmarks like the Paul Revere Monument, the USS Constitution, as well as the Massachusetts State House with its unique golden dome, are included in the game world. The game takes place in Boston, Massachusetts. There are plenty of side quests to pursue, many of which can also be experienced after the main story ends. The player may continue playing even after they have finished all of the main quests, a feature returning from Broken Steel, which allows players to experience the aftermath of their decisions. A consequence of the new advancement system is that there is no hard level cap, allowing players to experience a little more freedom when it comes to exploring and combat. At each level-up, the player can acquire a new perk, each with prerequisites based on SPECIAL attributes and level, and most have multiple tiers. Skills have been removed, replaced with a 7x10 perk chart. Players can build various defenses around their settlements, such as turrets, guard towers, and traps, to defend the settlements from raids and attacks. Merchants and non-player characters can inhabit player towns and help keep the settlements running as a community. Towns can be powered with electricity, using a dynamic power line system, as well as equipped with water pumps and crops/gardens to keep a steady income of food and drink. Each settlement can also connect to others by Brahmin caravan, which then share resources. Within the boundaries of a settlement, players can scrap objects and structures for resources and use them to build their own structures, including housing, vegetable gardens, defenses, stores, and crafting stations.
