Bethesda games always have bland dialogue and a bad storyline (Not counting New Vegas, perhaps). For me, they are about exploration, freedom of movement and world building and I liked Fallout 4 in that regard

SwampYankee@feddit.online 17 hours agoIt plays a lot better just mechanically, but the story and dialogue are hot garbage and it (not uniquely when it comes to the 3D Fallouts) lacks the edge of the originals. Also the settlement stuff is half baked and tacked on. I’ve probably gotten more playtime out of FO4 just because the combat is so much better than all the others, and settlement mods help make that part of the game much more compelling.

New Vegas isn’t a Bethesda game though.

I feel like comparing 3d Fallout to 1 & 2 is almost pointless, they’re effectively entirely different games and universes, imo. That said, I think F4 is more immersive and diagetically-believable than 1&2, even if the themes and storytelling are shallower.
F1&2 are better storytelling games, F4 is a better immersive RPG.
And I fully loved the settlement building and even the unpopular minutemen help/recruitment missions. Though I concede that they’re way better with mods, but everything in any Bethesda game (including Obsidian-partnered New Vegas) is vastly improved with mods; I genuinely don’t even understand how people can play a Bethesda game on console without the ability to mod
