The story and the roleplaying were boilerplate, not something you want in a series known for being rich in both. Could tell you about 5 minutes after the prologue who the main antagonist really was. It was the kind of twist Vince Russo would pull in the old WCW days. The heavy focus on crafting and the pain of having to defend places throughout the wasteland was also a big turnoff for me. Felt like a lot of busywork and fluff to pad the game out. I avoid and drop games that don’t feel like they respect my time.
All in all, it wasn’t a good game for me, but I’m glad some folks enjoyed it.
I have the exact same opinion. I didn’t come to fallout for crafting and extreme town defense. I went to fallout for a fun RPG with an interesting story. I thought the main studio would have seen fallout new vegas and remembered what the series was known for. Fallout 3 was just as bad in terms of story.
