I suppose I might be taking the general consensus for granted here, especially around fallout 4s launch window. I played the hell out of it myself and walked away pretty disappointed.
4 had a much more streamlined approach to ‘3D fallout’ likening it more to an action adventure game rather than RPG. Many of 3 and NVs more RPG styled mechanics were pared back quite a lot.
several examples are limitless skills (not having to define a build), limited dialogue options due to the player character being VA’d, item degradation being removed (I think?), VATS being reworked to fit better with this paradigm shift, andI feel as if I could say with some level of objectivity that endings in 4 pale in comparison to the breath of outcomes you can achieve in NV.
If you like action adventure games in a post apocalyptic setting then 4 is a good time. If you like an RPG in the same setting then 4 is kind to shit?
