Since I started playing the game last week I've found myself feeling right at home exploring the familiar feeling wastelands.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Enemies seem more challenging and have the uncanny ability to suddenly gang up on my character, sending him fleeing with nothing more to show for the encounter then a broken arm and a lot less ammo.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, one part of Fallout 4 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC that has surprised me is the new settlement building options, simple and sometimes clunky, this new feature can be totally addictive.</div>

Senior Character Artist Dennis Mejillones credits Lead Artist Istvan Pely for a specific piece of feedback that he found particularly helpful in shaping the iconic automaton, revealing: “This has to feel like a home appliance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Like something you’d want to buy to have in your home.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The part that covers his actual eye pod was designed after a 1950s scooter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It has that fun, friendly feel.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the first big changes that you find while exploring Fallout 4 for the first time is when Codsworth says your name, it's a nice new feature and may be why some people have kept him around as a companion full time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The moment I can get him as my companion, he’s my companion,” Mejillones adds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Because when I’m getting my ass kicked and he comes in with flamethrowers and saws, and he saves me, I’m like: You saved your daddy. He criticises some of my actions. We don’t agree on everything. But it’s all good. I can live with that.”</div>

The studio revealed more about Fallout 4's music this week, telling fans that there will be three times the amount of music available, compared with Fallout 3, which was tested thoroughly before being added to the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A message from Bethesda explains: "Once they settled on a working selection of songs, Howard made a playlist. “I listened to it all day at work for three or four days,” he says. “Just the music, without the DJ.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"A few songs quickly got annoying. Others were too melancholy. Some were too long, interrupting the flow of the game. These were all tossed aside, and through this iterative process of listening, listening, and listening some more, the team honed in on a mix of songs that felt fresh and fit the mood no matter what you’re doing."</div>
