    I’ve never played 76, but 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. I think most people who didn’t like it were going into it desiring for it to be something it wasn’t. What it was impeccably good at was being a scavenging looter shooter with addicting weapon and armor modification and a fun outpost building system that wasn’t for me, but did let me make my own little home.

        Definitely not Bethesda’s strong suit and not what I go to their games for. Their NPC interaction is made up of tons of awkward TMI introductions and dialogue too quirky to take seriously most of the time. That’s a valid criticism, I would not say Fallout 4 is well written. I think it has some interesting premises like the whole synth idea, but not a well executed story.

        The only overall story I really thought was good in that game was Paladin Danse’s quest chain.

      This. I completely agree. Fallout 4 is a great looter shooter. If you take it light and breezy you’re going to have fun.

      It is not an RPG where your actions have impact on the world.

        Honestly, the same is sorta true with most Bethesda game going back. Short of the atomic bomb in FO3, it’s just minor dialog changes most of the time.

        I don’t get the FO4 hate from the FO3/FO-NV fans. They’re all three equivalently immersive.
