I used this for the write in award. I named it "Missed Potential." The game isn't as unplayable and unspeakably terrible as a lot of people would say, but it's several big steps back from NV in many ways. It has both Bethesda's best and worst ideas, best and worst writing, and best and worst characters. There are glaring faults but look past them (or mod past them) and you'll find a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Yeah Creation Club is pretty scummy but this last update should reduce the amount of times F4SE gets broken significantly, and just keep not spending money on the CC and eventually they'll have to cut their losses and nuke it since it's costing them more than it's bringing in.

Well NV wasn't made by Bethesda, so that tells a lot why it's a big step back. I didn't really got into Fallout 3 either. Bethesda works by the numbers with their games. Doesn't matter if you play this or Elder Scrolls. It's all the same. It can be entertaining and it's not horrible. However Obsidian done it much better with New Vegas, and got screwd over due to a point to few on metacritics. Best fallout game since the first came out, not surprising when you know a few of the original Fallout devs work(ed) for Obsidian when NV was made.

Maybe take a look at these:

This petition is to get Bethesda to make better games in the future and to quit being so lazy with their game design, writing, questing, role play etc:

And this is a mod request that, if Bethesda got modders on, could fix a lot of the problems in Fallout 4:
