The Fallout table, in contrast, is also based around character creation, but unlike the Skyrim one, resets character level each time you start the table anew. However, the game allows for a character progression that adds an extra layer of replayability to this particular table. There is no real progression among quests, and you’ll end up doing the same missions over and over and over again. Quests and other events can trigger battles with bears, bandits, wolves, and other enemies from the Skyrim universe. You gain quests through new factions you can join, and by hitting certain targets. You can also create a new character if you so choose. Each time you play the Skyrim table, you return to the same character, who gains levels, gold, and loot which you can actually use and equip. My initial thought was that this stat would reset after each playthrough, but this is not the case. When you first play, you’ll choose a character and start them at level 1. The Skyrim table is by far the most complicated of the three, and provides more beyond a simple play-and-go Pinball experience. The first two have a character creation system as well as quests to be fulfilled, while the Doom table is much more traditional, while implementing extra levels with different types of challenges. The tables in the Bethesda release are Skyrim, Fallout, and Doom themed. Like all Zen Pinball table releases, Bethesda Pinball treats us to well-designed tables, with each having a different level of difficulty, size, and overall layout. For this release, we are treated to something different, with each table providing a different level of adventuring and even some character development. Pinball is always fun, but it’s usually the same experience with variants throughout each table.

I got to go back to the ol’ Zen Pinball 2 well once again, this time with a trip dip of Bethesda Softworks based tables from their three latest major releases.
