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

Bethesda have been on a downward spiral of main quest quality since Oblivion (possibly morrowind, never played it to say for sure).

Fallout 3 is just utterly forgettable as a game, both from a story perspective and a sandbox perspective.

Skyrim and Fallout 4s main quests are absolute garbage, and would ruin the games completely if they were not just big beautiful sandboxes to play in, with ripe and fertile ground for brilliant modding to take place in.

also I thought your name was CryptidBestiality at a glance, lol.

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.
