The experience varies greatly depending on how you play it.
Go off by yourself to discover interesting stories (eg Cabot family, USS Constition, Covenant, Silver flash etc) and get lost in the world with all the background details and stories provided in the terminals.
Or follow Preston's let's free one settlement at a time by clearing the same set of ghouls or raiders over and over. Even sending you to repeat places to help defend settlements.
Fallout NV offers a more consistent approach, yet the map is more interesting to explore in F4. The main story is interesting enough so far yet I've mainly been busy building stuff.
The fun is in the details you find, an old racetrack with the horses replaced by robots, an automated shopping mall still waiting for a new manager to arrive, a silly ghost story with cheesy jump scare sounds while exploring the haunted building. Paranoid characters, petty rivalries, companies cutting corners, office banter, crazy failed experiments, psychopath kidnappers, deluded cults, the world is rich in detail. You just have to look for it. Go in, shoot everything that moves, run out, yeah weak game.
I've only recently started traveling with companions. They give some good backstories as well after a while. Too bad the lone wanderer perk is so overpowered that it took me to lvl 50 before checking out this part of the game. Anyway still finding new things after 130 hours. (half of that is building)
I'm having more fun with it than with Witcher 3.
