Fallout 4 was released in 2015, bringing with it a fresh innovation in the Fallout franchise - settlement building. This mechanic went one step further than simply owning a hideout or renting a room by enabling a player to truly manipulate the environment, creating a personalized, imaginative settlement. It doesn't end with just one settlement, though - Fallout 4 contains no fewer than 37 settlements, from the relatively understated buildings to the simply enormous, open spaces.
