Pretty happy with FO4 myself, but hopefully you find someone who agrees so you feel better.

Well, no one ever said Bethesda is any good at writing stories.

NV is a good RPG, if that RPG has has no background scenery. You'll never remember any place in NV if not for the characters in said places. Also the ending helpfully reminds you what happens with said characters after you're done with them. It really makes you feel that everything you did, what stories you went and see, what questlines you completed really matters.

FO4 has nothing of that and ignores everything that happens outside of the main questline. And that main quest is totally crap in writing.

Well the main quest isn't garbage

But it is very basic... without the bravado, tie in, or epicness to really pull it off.

Ignoring the really obvious twist the game thinks is so clever even though you can see it from a mile away... does Bethesda think we have brain damage?

What you describe is called crap writing. A basic story is no excuse because its the storyteller's job to make it engaging. It's like a million different writers wrote each storyline and then ignore each other's existence.

fair enough

I just thought it was more bland and boring then crap and awful.
