Fallout 4

It's odd, but playing some Fallout 76 has made me nostalgic for Preston Garvey and Marcy Long...

If you can imagine it, the internet will provide:

I also struggle to move on past Red Rocket without getting the decking down... 

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.

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.

It's the artillery support, admit it.

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 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.

So... Tried to download some mods today. But, for some reason it won't work. Anybody know why?

Right, sorry. The download stops straight after you click on 'download' saying that the operation was cancelled. It does this for all mods (I tried doing it with random ones to see if was just stopping the ones I wanted).

It's on the Xbox 1.

I'd been experiencing that glitch and tried half a dozen solutions.

In the end, deleting 'reserved space' did the trick.
If that's not a fix you're aware of I'll talk you through...

Glad it's working.
I need to delete the space and re-upload to get past the glitch. (shrug)

Bethesda are not without their issues...
