I love you, son.
Skyrim was good, and Fallout 4 still sets a benchmark for modern gaming...

Skyrim was good, Fallout 4 still sets a benchmark for modern games, and Elder Scrolls 6 looks to be packed with an obscene amount of content. I'm getting pretty sick of these mopey threads talking about how shitty Skyrim was supposed to be, how boring Fallout 4 is (hint: if you're bored in Fallout 4, you're a boring fucking person and there's no fixing that), and how supposedly bad Elder Scrolls 6 will be.

hey
Simply put:

Fallout: NV > Fallout 4 > Fallout 3 > Skyrim

I think that Fallout 4 is Bethesda's best work since Morrowind, it's more in depth than Skyrim is, but it suffers from a poor dialogue system and a lack of choice. However a lot of things in the game are really well done, and outside the dialogue and choices, I don't have much bad to say about the game. The combat is fantastic, and the crafting system is really good. However it seems to have limited the amount of unique weapons in the game, and the game expects you to craft better equipment instead of being able to find better stuff. The perk system surprisingly isn't any less simple than the original skill system, and I kind of like it. 7.5-8/10 rating from me.

Oh right, Fallout 3 was good, Skyrim still sets a benchmark for modern games and blah blah blah...

Well first off, don't compare Fallout with Elder Scrolls. Way too different to be compared.

Secondly, read this.

New Vegas is a much better Fallout game, but Fallout 4 has a more aesthetically pleasing world and better combat mechanics. Fallout 4 is similar to Skyrim insofar as the story kind of blows and there's a lack of real choice, but the game world itself is very appealing. The RPG mechanics in FO4 are very shallow compared to New Vegas.

Basically, New Vegas is an extremely good RPG that happens to be a shooter. FO4 is a damn good single player shooter with RPG elements.

anyway, tl;dr-

-shooter with rpg element,
-building sim 2015 is fun
-power armor is cool
-modding guns is super duper fun, but makes...
-all guns look the same
-designs for guns are awful
-you can never so no to quests
-you literally have no choices aside from end game factions
-you can never be evil
-your personality is already set and the only control you have is their tone of voice
-SARCASTIC
-every other faction besides the Brotherhood of Steel has meh writing in comparison
-you can never tell the person who leads the institute to fuck off and think about his decisions and instead roll with it

This makes me wonder, when you first meet Father you have the option to remind him that you can kill him right then and there. But you have no way out of the Institute without humoring him. I bet you cant even kill him at that point at all.

I mean if you hate good writing
The writing's definitely better than Skyrim's, but then again that's probably not saying all too much >.>

If nothing else the combat is finally pretty great, but being where I am in the game I feel too OP-normal feels WAY too easy

Combat is infinitely better, but RPG mechanics are stripped down.
