Major improvements to gunplay, map density and companion/ character depth (DANSE!!!). Power armor is actually powerful now, and loading screens/glitches/lag spikes (as of 2024) are much less frequent when compared to other fallout games. Settlements, while janky, are a great addition. However, the game is lacking in interesting factions. By the time you discover two of the four major factions, you will have already sided with one of the other two. It doesn't help that the two you discover later are incredibly boring either.
