35 hours in and considering calling it quits, there is so little that has improved since FO3 and the ancient engine really does diminish the experience.
Pretty much every enemy, texture and most of the quests are just pulled from previous games and having clocked FO3 and NV, it really is hard to summon up much enthusiasm for what feels like an expansion rather than a new game.
VATS, lockpicking, hacking, etc are identical to last gen and the average performance is really shoddy considering it's not exactly a looker.
The settlement stuff is a chore, I want interesting quests but feel like I am playing a junk management sim with woeful AI and terrible UI getting in the way. The main story isn't as good as FO3 either and the characters aren't as interesting.
Power Armor sounds cool but it doesn't actually add anything to the game, in fact the only part that really adds something is being able to mod weapons and armor which would have been much better if you had to find the upgrades rather than just being locked behind perks.
Probably the biggest disappointment of the year for me, not because it's terrible but just because I was hoping for so much more
