Well I remember actually having some fun with the combat in this one, which is more than I could say for 3. World was a bit bigger and a bit prettier than last time, which was to be expected. Story was still garbage though. A step forward from 3...maybe? But still very bad, at times hilariously so. Horrible, really anti-climactic ending. Couple good side quests, though.
The little settlement building thing was neat. Extremely weird and not at all what I expected from Bethesda at the time. But a refreshing change of pace. Shame that it was so limited and the interface on console made it borderline unusable. Felt like a late addition, rather than a system the game was built around from the beginning. In an alternate universe where this game was centered around the gameplay loop of scrounging supplies and materials for your settlements and then defending/upgrading them, I might've really loved this game. If the writing didn't suck so bad.
