Kind of highlights fallout 4s biggest story frustration, for me anyway.

Even on my first playthrough I never felt tied to the prewar life or the family from it. I think 3 did a better job showing us why we should care about our dad and finding him that was absent in 4. After waking up and getting your bearings it was super weird going on tons of side quests and then in dialogue being so serious about finding your kid. I really enjoy fallout 4 but the kid aspect never has clicked for me.

Yeah, I definitely agree with you there. I would go further and say that 3 did a better job with the overall story. 4's gameplay is what kept me playing but I found the whole story just lacking in any nuance. It was more bland than 3's even though it's basically a rehash of it. Once the wonders of exploration have settled, I just felt like there was no point in doing another playthrough since it all boiled down to picking from two real factions that lead to the same ending. They really stripped the role playing aspect from their supposed action RPG

They really did step up the gameplay.

Mods are what have made the replays for me. I’m on pc and doing a sim settlements 2 play-through after they just put out chapter 3.

That’s been a more compelling main storyline for me. Fully voiced with cut scenes and everything.
