    Fallout 4 is good.
    The world is fun to explore and you have a reason to so you can get supplies to build settlements that is fun.
    I like the factions and the characters.

      The reason is one of the reasons I don't like it. You start aggrieved but are out of that within a couple missions and then are forced to side quest with a pc that doesn't seem like they care

        Honestly I might be biased because I am from the area, actually liked the settlement mechanic and larping as a militawoman.
        The writing is not as great as NV, but I think some of the voice acting especially from “Nora” can carry it and there are actually elements of the narrative I kinda like.

          The map is pretty good actually, but why have all those factions when it doesn't matter? I'm just mad because I'm blown up lore wise

            I don’t completely know what you mean by it doesn’t matter.
            Kind of similar to what I did in NV I made characters/play styles for each faction, I thought it was fun and interesting enough to see each factions ending.

          Glad I'm not alone. It is bare-bones, it is not a serious rpg, but hey it meets what I want in terms of an open world shooter with more depth than Far Cry or Just Cause and with a genuinely fleshed out setting.

          I can get into it more than the others setting wise, same reason I am genuinely interested in 76. I'm and east coast boy, give me industrial centers surrounded by forest, with some of that creepy New England pioneer feeling and I am set.

          Settlements elevate the game big time, but I do get that if people don't enjoy the mechanic then like half the reason I like it is gone for them
