Bethesda needs better writers when it comes to the main story of their games. F4 sucked just like their previous games. Finally meeting your son for the first time and it was a major let down. Seemed cold and distant in dialog and there wasn't that much dialog to go around.
I like Bethesda's side quests and world building, they're great at world building, but they need to outsource the writing for the main quest and romances. Romances are lackluster at best.

If it wasn't for the mods I wouldn't have finished Fallout 4. The main story quest was not engaging & I cared more about my crops then my kid. However, Fallout 4 did give me Hancock & for that I thank it mightily. I never finished New Vegas which is a shame since everyone says it's the best.

Yeah the main quest is lacking. At the moment I'm level 79 and have yet build the transporter to take me to the Institute. I'm just exploring the wastes and doing some side quests that I missed in other games.

I got the game two weeks ago.
I like the dialogue, it's dynamic but there's enough consistency for the character type I like to play (lawful good/lawful nice, traditional paladin-esque, very wholesome sort and all that good stuff; or as much as I can be given that it's Fallout)
Helping the Minutemen is very cool, and as the General, I can serve as an example and inspiration throughout the Commonwealth. Plus artillery; when in doubt, call in an artillery strike.
I have the holotape that Codsworth held for me, the one titled: "Hi Honey"...
I am not going to listen to it until I reach the end of the game, and Nora's Wedding Ring is always in my inventory no matter what.
If I never listen to the tape, then she's not really gone...
I found a machete that has a chance to set enemies on fire on hit while hunting down Kellogg. Talking with him was... brief, and I just kept hacking away until he died, then I took out my pistol and shot him in the head, blowing it to pieces.
This game makes me feel a lot of things. The music that played when I fought the first deathclaw in power armor wielding a chain-gun felt very messianic. Very much a "FEAR NOT. I AM WITH YOU." feel.
It was glorious.
Sometimes trying to protect all the settlements is, well, trying... But then I remind myself that Nora wouldn't want me to give up, and Shaun is still out there, so I will fight the good fight for as long as I can.
I must.
Because war, war never changes.

I thought some characters were unkillable. I've been waiting for the Vault Tek sales rep to show up at Sanctuary Hills for a while and he has been a no show. As I was randomly exploring downtown Boston, I found him dead by Cabot House. Now I won't have him as a trader.

He's always made it to Sanctuary for me, but sometimes died afterward when the place was attacked. So now I immediately outfit him in a bathrobe with the highest ballistic weave, because he might as well be safe and comfy.

In the X amount of games I've played, this is the first time he never made it.

I'm just exploring the wastes and doing some side quests that I missed in other games. My girl was level 102 or something when I stopped playing. Never even got a sniff of the institute but I built a lot of comfortable settlements (and killed a lot of deathclaws). The Vault Tec guy can die? Oh. He's serving drinks in Sanctuary in my game.

Well, I've done it.
Completed the main story...
The BOS is no longer in the Commonwealth, and the Institute has their reactor up and running.
Preston, Piper, Codsworth, and Danse were my "main", but when my allegiance to the Institute became clear, Danse turned on me.
To his credit, he didn't target anyone else at Sanctuary Hills.
I heard my wife and son for the last time.

Level 81 still haven't done much with the main quest. I may turn this game into a dead is dead game. Aka as in the next time my character is killed, they'll stay dead and I'll start a new game with a different character. I've been looking at some mods I would like to try out and it would be better to do it on a new game.

They droped the ball with Nuka world. Not only the storyline is extremely lackluster if you play as a good guy, but if you go through the raider path, there is no option to effectively take over the commonwealth and destroy the minutemen. That should be possible to do at least in the end game.

I don't know what these game devs think at times. If you side with the raiders, the Minutemen should turn hostile instantly regardless if you're the general or not. You just betrayed them by siding with their enemy. Preston not having anything to do with you doesn't cut it either. He should be pointing his gun at you and pulling the trigger. I like Nuka World the area but the main quest of it is ho hum.
They really need to look at the playing good or evil part. Playing evil in F4 is basically nothing. At least with the karma system of the other games, especially F3, even raiders didn't want to mess with you if your karma was very evil.
I usually play these games from a neutral perspective but there are times I want to play as a character who is bat shit insane and unpredictable, like World of Darkness Malkavian or a Joker/Harley Quinn type character.

The Nuka DLC was mediocre yeah. Only good part was the exploration, the sense of scale of the new map and the new content in form of items (weapons, armor, etc). The whole game is about you being part of the minutemen which are the anti-raiders, yet in Nuka you're supposed to go full bipolar and change the person you were/are in order to be a dumb dumb who raids their own settlements. Fucking retarded design decision, pretty much without mods to fix it you're better off not playing the DLC at all. The quest implementation is pretty bad too, basically run around the map and you get a new random quest for every major discovery.

Not really, F76 made me load up F4 as well but not because I feel it is superior. But those games sure do have a lot in common. So for me the reminescence is a positive thing. Now I have even more to chose from to when I want that special post nuclear apocalypse. Fun times all around.

I'm having fun with F4. Playing psychotic evil to the best of the game's ability is a blast. Been taking on evil type quests in the game that I have not done or had ignored in the past. I had to reload a previous save because Cait turned hostile on me. It was a quest for the Pack to go put a slave collar on someone in Good Neighbor. Soon as I convinced the fool to put the collar on, Cait went hostile and started shooting at me. So I reload the game and parked her far away and did the quest again. All we need is for someone to make a West Virginia mod that you can visit in Fallout 4.

Fucking retarded design decision, pretty much without mods to fix it you're better off not playing the DLC at all. The quest implementation is pretty bad too, basically run around the map and you get a new random quest for every major discovery. I very much disagree. I loved Nuka World! Becoming a raider is AN OPTION. Which they put in the game because of all the complaints about role playing restrictions. People wanted an evil option and Bethesda delivered. And FO4 is not about becoming the MM general. That's an option too. It's about finding your son and dealing with the Institute. How you go about that is your own choice. Granted, the MM and settlements get pushed on you hard as a feature but the story focus is on your son. You can very well roleplay your Sole Survivor as somebody who got damaged badly psychologically by the irradiated hellhole they woke up to. As a MM general your goal in Nuka World would be to destroy the raider gangs. Which is what I did. How well the raider option is implemented I cannot say. Never did it. Knowing how well things are usually implemented in Bethesda games I would assume poorly. I like the IDEA of it at least. And to me Nuka World was great fun even playing a good character. It cuts the DLC a bit short. But the best thing is the theme parts anyway. Also the spaceship lunatics quest. I loved all the DLC. Didn't find any of them weak. The workshop items were muuuuch appreciated. Certainly much better than the majority of FO3 DLC.
