Maybe it’s because 3 was the first one I played, but 4 seemed much more shallow.
Worse mini games and you show up on an organisations doorstep and 10 mins later you’re running the place.
Comment on Fallout 5 officially in pre-production, being built on Elder Scrolls VI engine
shani66@ani.social 6 days agoI’d argue 4 is actually better than 3, just not in any way that actually makes it worth playing. 4 is a mediocre S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like, 3 is hot garbage.

That’s every bethesda game. “Hey guy who did 7 mages guild fetch quests, congratulations you’re the new arch mage. Now do some more fetch quests.”

You’re not wrong, but F4 felt particularly unearned.
Maybe I was spoiled by things like The Witcher.

the writing isn’t that much better in 3, the gameplay loop in 4 is vastly improved over 3, however.

3 and New Vegas are great games. 4 was okay, they just sold a lot of the soul in exchange for mass appeal, just like Skyrim did compared to Oblivion and Morrowind
