Having played it recently, I went just went with a punching character, found a power fist early on and cheesed the game by slip-slide-punching everything to death. I'm glad I did this because on the few occasions I used guns I found them to be too much of a crap-shoot (Although I poured basically zero points into it.)
Fallout4 is lifeless compared to NV, the quests are unambitious and lame, the plotting is less elaborate, the characters are boring, the character building is boring and two dimensional, and the map is empty with half of it being taken up by empty featureless water. It even looks worse than the previous title in some ways, in spite of its increase in graphical fidelity. The only real improvement across the board is the gun-play.
Fallout 4 is a time killer. It's the sort of thing you put on to play while you listen to a podcast or half watch an episode of a TV show. It's easy as piss, the choices don't matter till near the end.
You know what legitimately bothers me? NV is replete with whores, gambling, and poverty. Even the "town of poors" in Goodneighbor seems comparatively nice to Freeside. Its all so...Toothless.
They removed all the sleaze. Goodneighbor is meant to be some mafioso city, but apart from some hired guns and some drugs, it's just filled with ghouls. The only thing close to a prostitute is when you bang that singer who turns out to be a synth by passing a speech check. Hell, Diamond City has a worse homeless problem than Goodneighbor with that one guy on the streets begging for a Nuka Cola. I don't recall there being anyone sleeping rough in Goodneighbor.
So how much of it is "Corporations bad, people good" so far? Because since the first announcement trailer that's the kind of shtick I figured they'd be going for and I'll be damned if I'm gonna be lectured in hypocrisy.
Early in the game, but so far the corporations seem like over the top dickbags, they even extort money out of their employees for their own fucking graves. I need more time to see how outside factions are portrayed, but it's not exactly a flattering first impression for the corporate factions (Spacer's Choice, at least).
Even on ultra the game is a bit blurry it think it because of the piss poor implementation of TAA. I wish they gave some sort of sharping filter to go along with it to help mitigate it or at least gave us the option to upscale or use an SSAA.
I enjoyed fallout 4 but my only issue had to be the VO for the MC it was just dumb.
Honestly it could be because I'm running on 3440x1440 which isn't "supported" but for some reason work in borderless widescreen.

Okay, so
More nuanced than I expected. Don't get me wrong, I know corporations would love to get away with shit like this, but I didn't figure they had anyone at Obsidian that knew nuance anymore.
