Fallout 4

Pros

• I want another isometric Fallout game with the narrative flexibility of the classic Fallout, but with Fallout 4's gathering and base-building.
• That reminds me in Fallout 4 (not really a stealth game) where you'll see the Raider burying his friend, sneaking up, you'll hear the raider reminisicing, regretting, wanting to give up as a raider.
• I still think Fallout 4, particularly with the update, when played in Survival mode, is still a vastly more interesting and engaging version of this type of game.
• Fallout 4 - PS5 ⭐️ - (played so much of this over the year, I consider myself done with it.)
• I have a lightly modded run of this in progress too, mostly concentrating on settlement mods that aren't Sim Settlements-related.

Cons

• I think it made some improvements over previous Fallout games but overall Bethesda leaned really hard into what they thought made Skyrim successful and then simplified it further, and turned it into a tedious and repetitive gameplay loop.
• #Friendship ended with Fallout 3 and 4.
• It's the polar opposite to Fallout 4. Comparatively, Fallout 4 is bogged down with clutter (only in respect to this game, there's room for appreciation for both, and that approach absolutely works in the context of Fallout 4's systems)

• The world building of F4 is very poor and the main quest line feels worse than usual even for these sort of games where fans generally admit that the side content is many times more interesting than the "find your dad" or "find your son"...
