Pinball FX2 Bethesda Pinball Pack Review

Zen Studios and Bethesda, the worldwide publisher behind the blockbuster franchises Fallout®, DOOM®, and The Elder Scrolls®, have joined forces for an unbelievable pinball experience! Coming to Zen Studios pinball platforms in December, Bethesda® Pinball presents three exciting pinball tables based on Bethesda’s epic gaming universes: Fallout, DOOM, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Stay alive in the stunning yet hostile environments of three fantastic pinball tables inspired by the most iconic Bethesda franchises. Explore the secrets of the post-nuclear wasteland in a world decimated by atomic war, join Factions, raid Vaults and collect Bobbleheads on the Fallout Pinball table, fight your way through the UAC research facility while taking on hordes of demons to earn the DOOM Slayer name on the DOOM Pinball table, and craft weapons, wield magic, equip armor, buy and sell goods, mine materials, find trainers and complete side quests before defeating Alduin and fulfilling your destiny as the Dragonborn on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Pinball table. Each table features leaderboards, score tracking, exciting social features, and more!

• Main Missions vs. side modes and multiballs: Activate side modes or multiballs during main missions for increased scoring and more complex gameplay! Most of the game modes can run at the same time, even multiballs!
• Collect weapons: Expanding your arsenal is crucial if you’re going to fight your way through the demons of Hell. It is also important to use the best weapon for each given situation. The Chaingun will do damage against the drop targets and the demon. The BFG9000 will tear almost everything apart with one shot but its ammo capacity is very limited. Changing your weapon once in a while can make all the difference.
• Power ups: Power ups will give you a temporary boost that will always come in handy. But if you time the activation well you could hit the jackpot. Let’s just say the Quad Damage score multiplier boosts every score, even the ones for winning a mission.
• Argent Cells: Completing a main mission will grant you an Argent Cell. Be aware that upgrading your health or armor will automatically fill it up as well.
• Meltdown mode and multiballs: Activate the Meltdown mode and start a multiball! You will notice that you can heat up more than one ball by shooting them through the lava.

• Rollover Progress: Progress will be saved between games, including your character level, weapons, apparel, magic spells and other items, completed main quests, available side quests, your gold, and even the time of day. Nearly everything works the same as in the original game.
• Blocking: You can use your shield and melee weapon to block incoming physical attacks. Hit the targets marked with the flashing shield lamp to block the next attack and you’ll suffer less damage. Hitting targets triggers bashing damage to the enemy!
• Power Bar: Hold one of the flippers during a battle till the yellow “Power Bar” fills up completely. You will have a couple of seconds to hit the enemy while the Power Bar flashing resulting in a power attack with a melee weapon or dual cast with a destruction magic spell. You can cause higher damage this way, but use this feature wisely since it consumes much more stamina and magicka.
• Inventory: If you run out of stamina during a battle, access the inventory by holding the launch button and choose a destruction magic instead. If you run out of magicka, choose a melee weapon and continue the battle. Don’t forget the various rings and amulets that can aid you in battle, as well as the many kinds of potions you can loot from enemies or buy from shops. They can save your life along with the healing spell that can be applied to your character permanently and independently from other spells. You can cast it at the left orbit, you’ll definitely want to use it regularly.
• Travel: If you buy a horse at the shop (visit a town to access it), you can travel faster via shooting the side target banks so you can explore more places, get more points and visit more towns. Be careful however because you can lose your horse (and some of your gold) if you get defeated. If your health is nearly depleted, consider fleeing by shooting the side targets. You can save your horse and your gold, so it worth a try!
• Multiballs: Hits to the unlit skillshot hole provide you with additional time in the Treasure Chest Multiball, where you can hit the chest for gold jackpots only for a limited time. The additional time can grant you more gold! Shots to the loot hole at the right side will raise the jackpot value of the Dovahkiin Multiball.
• Crafting: It is advised to keep the various raw materials you find during your adventure and use them to craft weapons and armor when you arrive to a town as you travel. You will advance in your smithing skill if you do so and become able to craft more and more advanced items.
• Spells: Consider using non-destruction magic spells during battles, such as conjuration where you can summon a being that helps you defeat the enemies, or the alteration where you can apply various magical armors like Oakflesh. These can provide great help in tough battles. You can find these spells via looting enemies or in the shop. Just apply them in the inventory and hit the right ramp to cast them during a battle.
• Loot: You will gain a lot of loot as you defeat more and more enemies during your adventure. All of them have some weight. Eventually you will become over-encumbered, resulting in slower traveling speed and greater stamina consumption while using melee weapons. You can sell any of your items in the shop to decrease your carry weight and make some extra gold or you can even drop your items from the inventory.
• Gold: You can exchange your gold to score directly at the shop. The seller however will have only a limited score amount every time you visit a shop in a town so keep moving to the next town if you want to exchange more.

• Be aware of the radiation bar at the bottom-left of the table. A high radiation level will greatly reduce your maximum amount of health (which is crucial in battle), and highly affects the scores achieved throughout the game.
• Vaults can be extremely dangerous if one goes in unprepared. Try leveling up by completing side quests and Faction Quests before clearing a Vault.
• Hitting an enemy with a regular melee attack (hitting the enemy target itself) will stop the attack timer for a couple of seconds.
• Sneaking not only gives a damage boost on all attacks for a limited time, it will also pause time for a short while during an attack sequence.
• Enemies blocking the mininuke lane during the Attack sequence? Hit the mininuke lane during the dodge sequence for a clear shot and an explosive result.
• Too many enemies attacking you? Use the mininuke, or if it is not available, hit the Throw lane to damage multiple enemies.
• Having trouble defeating a boss enemy? Maximize the V.A.T.S. bar and grab a couple of mininukes before a fight.
• Always think about which skill should be upgraded to better suit certain situations. A higher strength level might raise melee attack damage, but higher perception provides more time to perform attacking actions.
• No money to upgrade certain items? Raise your Luck skill and collect loot to find pricey shop items for free.
• Raise your Intelligence skill to make levelling up easier. Remember, a higher player level means tougher enemies and higher scores.
• Each of the bobbleheads collected from the Vaults grant special perks. These perks won’t reset after completing the Wizard Mode.
• Join a Faction! Complete your favorite faction’s missions to gain a special reward during Wizard Mode.
• Hitting the Shoot or Snipe lanes during a fight will damage a random enemy on the playfield.
•  The antenna always points at the area where the Eyebot will arrive. If it is pointing at the sky, prepare for the Radiation Storm.
• Hit the Nuka Target to recover a small amount of health. This can be extremely helpful during a fight against tougher enemies.
