Okay. You bring up some good points Varrok. Which I freely admit I agree with.

It's a pretty dumbed down Fallout game. It's a very dumbed down RPG. I cannot stress enough how bad the side quests are in this game. They're literally just either Kill [Raiders, Ghouls, Super Mutants], or Defend a Settlement. It gets old fast. Even the main quest has some of that.

And yeah the dialog doesn't make a difference towards the quest. Only choosing a Faction does. (And most of them are boring as fuck).

The glitches. Some of them are inexcusable. It's like Bethesda are fully aware that their engine has problems, yet do nothing to really tackle it because it's become almost an in-game or a meme that Bethesda games are buggy.

However.

I've spend over 150 hours in the game. So I guess. Fuck me for liking it...?

I've had; and still having a blast with Fallout 4. In terms of gameplay, gunplay, graphics, animation and character models. To me. They're a great improvement over 3 and NV.

The world is whilst small, is well imagined and fun to explore. I've got lost just exploring. Just like Skyrim and the other Fallout games. Some of the characters and companions have nice backstories and quests. Cait comes to mind. I loved her mini-quest. And the building mechanic, whilst not perfect. Is a lot of fun.

And that's the key thing about Fallout 4. It's fun. It has it's problems yeah. BIG problems. And isn't my favorite Fallout game. (Which is still Fallout: New Vegas). But i'm enjoying it. And thanks to the modding scene being fully underway, I can enjoy it for a lot longer. I already have 40+ mods installed and they really improve the game.

I'm waiting with baited breath the DLC, Season Pass will add a lot more to the game. It seems that way. Not like I like that by the way. I frigging despise Season Passes and long for the days of buying a game and having everything already.

Honestly Varrok. I'd consider replaying it. You didn't really get that far into to it before you made up your mind about it. I know you won't because you seem very adamant about it.

BUT if decide to. Just ignore the god awful questing and just explore the Commonwealth. It's honestly what's kept me coming back to the game. Hell. Even install some mods which fixes some of the mess as well as making it more entertaining.

oh and I hope you don't literally hate me for liking the game. Because, well y'know. That'd be stupid as hell.
