Has Bethesda ruined the Fallout series (and my big rant!)?

But it let me build this

Wait, was there some kind of urgent struggle going on?

New Vegas was the best imo. I did complete all the story paths in Fallout 4 yet none really let me play it the way I wanted to. New Vegas was far more satisfying story wise. The environmental stories plus building stuff saved Fallout 4. Missions were just a means to collect materials while exploring the environment. Great world building, yet missions were shoot, loot, trade for scrap to build with...

Gathering the huge amount of copper needed to power my Totoro sign kept me going for half the game lol


In the end it was more fun than the witcher 3, which I ended with a huge bank account and nothing to do with it. In F4 I build several towns with all those dead bodies!

I agree with you, a big flaw in Fallout 4 (imo) is that the player is so limited on what CHOICES they can make. All of the dialogue options and quest decisions feel like they generally ultimately result in the exact same thing and in cases where you do get some form of decision making it tends to be black and white with almost no effect on the world outside of said quest
