So after playing it for 40 hours, I still love the game. By the way, I still retain what I say. In terms of enjoyment, I like this game more than 3 and NV. But I agree it's the most less like an RPG Fallout game. And nothing has so far compared to the world and story of New Vegas.
Regardless of that, I'm enjoying it the same way I enjoyed other Bethesda games. I love just wondering the world, finding little bits of story whether it be on a terminal or being told by how skeletons are positioned ect.
However, my biggest issue with it is the performance. It drops frames for literally no reason. My PC isn't the most powerful granted. But I've had to turn it down to medium quality just to get 60. And I don't think this is a problem on my end. Even great set-ups have reported bad frames. It's the way it's optimized.
Also the texture sizes are huge, which reduces frames. Lucky a mod are already available making the textures smaller, which increases frames yet keeps the game's art in tact.

Fallout 3 was more like an RPG, as it featured more than four dialogue choices at a time (which in F4 always follow "yes/no/neutral/question" scheme, never anything beside that) and karma system. In F4 you can't even kill good NPCs. They're invincible.
Quote unquote "Role playing". The role of a stupid mindless consumer with little to no standards

I've got to agree with you. I'm also not a huge fan of the 4 dialogue choices, It's too limited. And you don't even know what your going to say. With saying that, Download this. It shows what your going to say before you say it. A much improvement.

And the hype? I don't understand it either. People were expecting this amazing game for some reason, completely ignoring Bethesda's track record. I was hyped too, but I had realistic expectations. I knew it was going to be a good game - not amazing, just good - with a shit engine and shit writing, so I adapted and had fun with it.
I'm more interested by what Obsidian is going to do with the engine to be honest. Both them and Bethesda said they wanted another collaboration, so hopefully they're going to make another New Vegas-level game and everybody will be happy.

Completely agree with you about the hype. I knew it was going to be buggy, I knew it was going to be very similar to Fallout 3 and I also knew people were going to be disappointed with it.
I think at this point. They need a new engine before a new Obsidian game. half of the problems with the game are down to it's old as fuck engine. New Vegas 2 with a brand new engine? where do I sign?
But until then. Mods will fix
almost everything and give me a reason to keep playing for longer. Just like Skyrim.
