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.

FO4 has such a sudden start when you think about it. The game starts and the bombs almost immediately start falling and your spouse dies and son taken within like the first 10 minutes of the game.

Would have been cool if you started in the war wearing power armor, then came home to your family after facing the horrors of war, made your face, adapt back to normal life and get to know family and neighbors over a couple of time skips, then the bombs happen in the middle of one of those events. Grow some attachment like FO3 did.

Ngl I kinda wish fo4 did more with the pre war aspect. Like I'll admit I'm a sucker for 50s ascetic but I kinda want a fall out game to take place pre war. Fo4 and fo3s anchorage dlc are the best glimpses into pre war life. Like imagine if we got the opportunity to drive around with one of those pre war cars.
