I honestly don't think Fallout 4 is that great of a game compared to it's older predecessors @adsactly.
Sure it's got nice graphics, different story and a dog, but the gameplay is very lacking.
They narrowed down and oversimplified dialog to 4 options, the story isn't compelling enough and weak RPG.
I personally think that Fallout New Vegas is the best iteration of the Fallout Series. The story, the gameplay, characters and mods are 10 times better than Fallout 4.

The dialogue wasn’t the greatest flaw. The biggest thing for me was the huuuuuge focus on scavenging, that turned the game into a to and fro fest, as you frequently ended up over laden.
Add to that the settlement mechanic. Personally I preferred how Skyrim did it. Select bits from menu, plonk, it’s there. The engine in Fallout 4 was terrible for doing this part of the game. They’re not short games at the best of times and this just stuck the worst amount of padding on.
I eventually got disenchanted with the game and went back to Skyrim.
There again I kinda like settlement construction, it did get annoying at times when u can’t get certain elements to line up properly. I did build an insane huge tower which was pretty awesome.
I think what it offered was bold, but I quickly saw that I was losing entire evenings to just doing base stuff, continual journeys servicing the loot lust. When I stepped away from things, it kind of sat there taunting you. “Here is a big bit of game you are ignoring you big loser”. If they streamline it a bit, make it a touch more modular, then it could be a winner.
Morkrock, have you tried the Place Everywhere and JunkTown mods? If you haven't seen the #1 mod of the year, try Sim Settlements and the Sim Settlement expansions. Incredible stuff.
I wish I could of used mods, this is the unfortunate curse of the PS4
I loved New Vegas, but personally I preferred the more streamlined dialogue, because there’s just so much of it. Yeah missed out on the mods this time round, damn you PS4.
Cass will forever be my favorite companion. And I still think about the Dead Money DLC sometimes. Good times.
I agree. Fallout 4 could have been a much better game. In fact, fans of the Fallout series have been working tirelessly to improve Fallout 4 into the game it should have been. Most of the work is done through Nexus Mods. I've been putting together a guide that you might be interested in over on my Steemit blog. Modding made easy, for veterans and novices alike.
