Painfully mediocre. Difficult to describe how and why. Balancing/difficulty is straight up 0 out 5 for effort. Genuinely not fun to play. Here for the dialog, immersion, music... but the gunplay and vast majority of gameplay feels really unpolished and just, lazy. Sloppy. Poorly executed. Most importantly: not really a lot of fun to play unless you can get super-immersed. …

This game got a lot of "average" reviews and fanfare, much more than you'd expect from a Bethesda game, and I'm beginning to see why it got that response from fans and critics.

I'm about 30 hours in, and, as usual, my interest is starting to wane. Time to focus down the main quest so I don't start resenting the game. I've enjoyed my time with Fallout 4 and think it's one of the better Bethesda games in terms of game feel and writing. There's just a lot less gameplay variety than in the Elder Scrolls games, since you're not really getting much in the way of gameplay changing abilities. I live on variety, so it's hard to keep interest in something that is static gameplay-wise for too long.
Something I should keep in mind as I try not to overhype myself for Starfield haha.

I finally got into a good rhythm after scavenging a while I now have a reasonable gear that supports my "sneaky sniper" play-style.

I finally got into a good rhythm after scavenging a while I now have a reasonable gear that supports my "sneaky sniper" play-style. A nice pistol to which I attached a suppressor and a bunch of scoped rifles for different situations (suppressed sniper for stealthy take-downs, heavy but slow for long shots, and a weak one that uses cheaper ammo for when I'm low on .45 ammo).
Now I'm really enjoying just walking on a straight line and discovering all the little stories of the Wasteland.
I guess it's high time I removed my 2-star rating for this game.

It wouldn't be fallout if it wasn't riddled with bugs even after years of official and fan-made patches.

I noticed a very familiar voice coming from a random NPC and it dawned on me that it was Garrus' voice! And that made me also realise that my character's voice is Jack's!

I'm slowly getting into the game. It starts a bit rough, with too much junk thrown at the player early on and weird, overly friendly dialogue.

After a couple of hours I feel that I'm starting to get a hang of all the systems (which to ignore, really) and the world is opening up in interesting ways. The clunky dialogue is still there, but at least after some time spent with the characters, it feels less unrealistic.

I don't get it. Everyone on Diamon city is scared shitless about synths... but Valentine just prances around the city?

I feel that I need to read up on some guide or something. The game just started and I'm already drowning with different weapons, most of which look almost exactly the same, have only slightly different names and feel uniformly awful to shoot with. Like I'm getting pummeled by a couple of flies.

It feels a bit overwhelming, but the world is fun to explore. Every little section of the map has something interesting, and even when it doesn't, it's just nite to roam around, walking the countryside listening to the radio.
I remember now one of the reasons I bounced from it some years ago when I first play a couple of hours: the character interactions feel so weird. My character is on a first-name basis with every NPC almost before talking to them even once. I guess it makes for a more efficient storytelling, but it makes it very hard to be immersed in the world.

Pinging the modmaster @anarchistica. Which mods would you recommend for essentially a first-time player who doesn't care for crafting?

During the very first few missions, the game suddenly throws an absurd amount of crafting/settlement options to your face. As a person who despises crafting in video games, I'm gonna admit that it looks fun and addictive. Still, I really can't see myself playing this game and collecting junk for 100 hours.

I've heard that it is possible to play it with ignoring crafting completely, but then wouldn't it be an incomplete experience?

I'm very surprised and kinda disappointed to see that Bethesda chose a different approach from their signature immersive, silent protagonist type of game. And I was more than disappointed when I first used the new VATS system. Why it's not stopping time completely??? Thankfully there is a mod for that, even for PS4.
