I would agree with some of this. I liked certain game mechanics better than Fallout 3, but I enjoyed that game a little more overall.
Cons:
-Inventory management is super tedious.
-The faction system doesn't quite work and they're all kind of assholes.
-Pretty much every mission requires going to x place and killing a bunch of stuff. Fallout 3 had more variety in missions and I missed the missions where you're not killing people, but exploring and talking to weird characters.
-Preston Garvey and his missions are super annoying
Pros:
-Exploring and finding new places is still as fun and absorbing as ever, and this is really why i play these games.
-Being able to craft weapons exactly how you want them is awesome. Made the shooting really fun.
-Some incredibly cool environments. The Glowing Sea in particular was ridiculously beautiful and scary.
-The more unusual quests they threw in were pretty great.
They definitely overreached on some things but overall I thought it was a pretty fun game and well worth playing. Exploration is super calming and fun for me so I still prefer games like this to on-rails experiences, even if they could be improved a little.
