Enjoyed the game, still enjoying it, but I do have a few points, small points, that would have improved the story:
Ditch the vault plot at the beginning. Make the protagonist a waste land dweller, but a newcomer to the common wealth. Ditch the kid: It didn't really go anywhere. Actually, making him always part of the Minute Men wouldn't have been a bad start, give him more incentive to build up and defend the settlers of the Commonwealth.
See the problem of the last few big Bethesda projects (FO4, Skyrim and Oblivion) is that the main hook of the story makes everything urgent where a game of this nature should have something slower pace. Dragons, Oblvion Gates and the missing child do not really fit what is supposed to be about wandering exploration. Morrowind just had the Imperials let you go, giving you directions that you had no incentive to follow except that -Hey, maybe I owe them one-. The main threat in that game, Dagoth Ur, had been a known entity for generations and it was a land that basically got used to it.
The thing is. I did like the high concept and how the factions played off of each other. It was not enough of a problem to get me to NOT enjoy myself, but it was just. missing something.

I'm glad you enjoyed this game because I LOVE it!
Many people hate it.
And that's fine.
But it's Jam packed with content and the shooting feels right.
I'm just happy there is no level cap and you can continue playing after completing the main story.
My only problem with fallout 4 is the 0KB glitch. which can happen at ANY time.
But when it doesn't occur the game is brilliant.
Not perfect as it is glitchy as hell and the graphics could be better along with the dialogue system although I'm happy having a voiced protagonist it adds so much more to the game. so that's a win for me.
In my opinion if you just accept the game for what it is. and not try and focus on what you want it to be its a highly enjoyable experience!

Nostalgia
Man, it's kinda sad looking back and remembering how much I really liked FO4 at first. Like, for the first few weeks I played, I was having an awesome time exploring and building settlements and whatnot. But the further into the main story I got and the more the various mechanics started to repeat, the more all my little gripes with the game started to magnify to the point where I honestly didn't even want to finish it. I think maybe it's been long enough since I've touched it that I might find some fresh enjoyment out of it, but man, that nosedive into just not caring anymore was brutal.

Fallout 4 has some good and some REALLY bad things to it. No Ron Pearlman intro, no the tv newscaster Ron pearlman doesn-t count, but you do have the most skin tight and fetishistic vault suit to date. Go download and install some of the mods that fix things Bethesda should have fixed and enjoy.
No seriously, you CAN NOT enjoy this game to the fullest without fan made mods to help the game run better, not crash, not run faster with higher frames, not have quests glitch out, and just so many more things. DOWNLOAD MODS

I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in a game than I was when I first played this. I had it preordered with the season pass cause I loved FO3 and figured this was going to be just as good if not better. I got about 20 hrs in and just stopped playing and haven't touched since about a month after it came out, I just got so bored and was tired of the game expecting me to build everything. I keep thinking I'll give it another shot, but I never quite get to the point of installing it again.

Dude! Same here, my first playthrough I was a little over 30 hours in before I went to Diamond City, maybe more, I don't completely remember. I messed around so much during my first playthrough that I was 792 hours in before I finished the main story. Now granted a very large portion of that could be cut on the grounds that I was passed out and the game was idling. Possibly as much as 50% of my 792 hours could be cut. I don't remember how many times I passed out playing Fallout 4.

I absolutely hated gunplay in this game outside of VATS. It feels slow and sluggish. Unreliable at best. Many guns are also outclassed so fast that in the end there really are only 2 or 3 viable weapons no matter the build. I was super hyped. Pre-ordered the game even. Installed it on launch day and played it 8 hour straight and then just put it to the side and completed it like 2 years later =- Absolute let down.

Yeah, nah. Fallout 4 was a big disappointment for me.
You couldn't role play in the game.
You couldn't be fully bad/evil
and of course the dialog (which is part of reason 1 +2)
The skill tree was different, I'm okay with the skill tree. I prefer the 3/NV but this is still okay.
EDIT: OH! and the DLC. Compared to the previous games DLCs, this was a poor design. and expensive.

Here-s what I don-t get. It-s a free game with broken mechanics that-s actually an ad for a video game company, but it doesn-t do any advertising for what it-s supposed to be an advertisement for, but we-re all supposed to be so excited for this broken game, that we pay money for the next product of this company, that has already shown it doesn-t care about quality? Am I missing something?

Interesting. Normally I agree pretty heavily with your reviews. Fallout 4 is a good action/adventure game but it's not a good Fallout game. Pretty much all the changes they made to game mechanics from FO3/NV suck and the lack of proper PC features/options is unacceptable.
After FO4 and FO76 I don't really want Bethesda making anymore. they've ruined the series.
