i think the failing of the recent games was writing on that front. FO3 is a hellish setting overflowing with bleak environmental storytelling, most everything wants to kill you, and the plot is about literally just getting a little clean water to the few people left
and then the writing swoops in with 'nuke a town' 'poison the water for no reason' 'cool robots' 'wholesome wasteland feudalism'
Yeah I know what you mean. I think part of the issue is also that the player kinda grows in power and abilities until they are basically a superhero. A lot of bethesda games have that issue I think so you wind up with so few consequences for your character that you kinda dont experience how the wasteland is if that makes sense.
