Simultaneously a good and awful game

Simultaneously a good and awful game.
I utterly despise it, but I can’t stop playing.

I'm the same but with skyrim

i was the same way with it. played the story once, hated everything about it, then played another 2-300 hours with building mods playing Stalker-lite and pretending it wasn't a Fallout game

Yeah because it's got an addictive "kill-loot-upgrade" gameplay loop. Everything about it is fucking bad, though. I replayed it for the first time in 5 years recently, and it just felt straight-up unfinished.

I feel like with some minor tweaks the story could've been great and I still like it, but the gameplay loop and gutted dialogue system disgusts me.

I can't think of how it could be good, everything about it is shit in every way, it's even less of a sandbox game than Skyrim.

This game fails in so many ways it’s astounding. I still can’t understand how it won Game of the Year.
Just for an example, let’s use the “synth paranoia” in Diamond City.
>A guy turns on his brother and attempts to kill him for being a synth. This is quite dark and attempts to establish a tone of fear.
>He’s shot by security and the brother he accused of being an infiltrator is terrified at how quickly it happened
Next day
>He disappears from the game, which ruins any chance of showing how fear can leave deep scars in a community that can’t heal or give any more insight into what happened
>Guards are saying things like “don’t call your mom a synth, yikes!” utterly ruining any sense of seriousness
>The city is peaceful and there aren’t any more incidents like this
End of the game
>Piper was right all along, the mayor was a synth and she was justified! He’s deposed, the city is saved and everyone lives happily ever after. It’s almost like no one died because of it.

ignore the story and dump a ton of mods onto it like skyrim and forget you're playing a shitty game.

what mods?

I have 300 hours in it and never even found my son
