Oh, and it would be nice if the main character wasn’t automatically the leader of every faction in the game.

Really wish Bethesda would get over this and their fear of letting players miss out on some of the content in their gigantic worlds. Taking over a guild should be hard and it should have consequences. Preston Garvey knows Nate/Nora all of fifteen minutes and puts you in charge of an entire movement (while gatekeeping essential system mechanics behind further investment in his faction, fuck you if you wanted to roleplay as a raider warlord you gotta be a good boy first)

Actually the whole first hour or two of FO4 is the core of what is wrong with it. They went all-in on essentially an E3 demo and expect every player to follow along exactly their rails.
