After a hundred hours and 40 levels I'm going to give it a break for bit.  I haven't even beaten the game yet.  Hell, I haven't gotten into the Institute.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

QuoteA Siberian gamer is suing the makers of Fallout-4 after he lost his job and broke up with his wife because of the video game. He wants 500,000 roubles (US$7,000) in compensation from the company, saying he did not know the game would "become so addictive."

Let me guess - he has a Polish "lawyer" representing him, right?

I didn't know the Ruble had fallen so hard, he might be better off if he's paid in bottle caps.

Well, there's a lightsaber mod now. So maybe I'll get the game.  :P

Okay so I can finally play this damned game.  I bought an XBox One for the family for Christmas. 

Really like the game so far.  Just wish work, family and sleep demands didn't cut so much into my playing time. 

I like that weapons do not degrade, but I'm still not used to how janky most of them are.  Took me forever to find a rifle with a proper stock.  I like what they did with the feral ghouls and the super mutants seem a tad less cartoonish.  And there are a lot more ways to die, it seems.

I got bored of this game. Didn't even finish the main quest yet. :( It's too much like an FPS, there's not much else to do except go around the wasteland killing stuff, and you cannot even roleplay much because your character has a predetermined personality. So instead, I'm once more restarting a heavily modded Skyrim.

Heavily modded Skyrim is never wrong. :)

I feel pretty much the same.  Unmodded FO4 doesn't compare well to fully-modded Skyrim or even FONV.  I feel like I felt about Oblivion when it first came out; unmodded, it couldn't stand up to fully-modded Morrowind.  Of course, when fully modded, Oblivion was much better than Morrowind (and in fact, included Morrowind), so I'll come back to FO4.  In the meantime, there are still a bunch of Skyrim quest mods I haven't finished.

I think unmodded FO4 is better than unmodded FO3 and Oblivion, on par with modded FONV, and a little worse than unmodded Skyrim and Morrowind.  Modded all of those games are better than unmodded FO4 (obviously I am not taking gfx into consideration).  Don't get me wrong, I still think FO4 is a very good game.

You know what I find most annoying about this game?  You really can't be who ever you want to be.  I made my character a smarty-pants (to artfully contrast with my real self), raised my INT 10 and took all the Science! perks.  And the institute jackasses still talk down to me.  I ask what a "Beryllium agitator" is and she just says it would go over my head.  Bitch, I just built a teleporter out of aluminum cans, I can technobabble with the best of them.  Or Maybe I could show you by throwing this plasma grenade I made out of a telephone, a board game and some glue.

I can agree with all that, except that modded FONV includes some quests that are better than any I saw in FO4, so there is that.  Also, FO4 badly needs the whole food/water/sleep schtick.  Everyone is a robot.

Bethesda's best game still remains Skyrim, even unmodded.

grumbler, I looked a trailer for Morrowind: Reborn. Have you tried it?

Interesting... it sounds like I may need to give FONV another shot at some point and mod in some more quests.
