At launch it was novel and fun to play the new fancy open world game with graphics for around probably 40 hours. The writing was trash and the gameplay was shallow, and this became clear the more I played. However I'd argue that opinion had started to turn on it in the mid 2010s.
Finally, I'll say this: in my main playthrough where I beat every questline, I had fun sometimes. When I did the same in Fallout 4, I had fun in two quests and was desperately waiting for it to get good for the other 60 hours. Starfield is never fun, and also weirdly shorter.
Wasn't novel to me, it was just worse Oblivion and the graphics were still ugly Idk. I coped trying to enjoy it.
Lmao scary that Fallout 4 is even worse, I never bothered with it.
As a simple example, the main villain in Skyrim is an evil dragon who wants to eat the world. The main villain in Fallout is a faction in the basement of MIT who are replacing a bunch of people on the surface with robotic clones for no discernable reason. I'm serious. You can join the faction and even become the leader in typical bethesda fashion and they never explain why they're replacing everyone with robots.
Because the writers said so lole
Who woulda thunk the synth sidequest in Fallout 3 would lead to this...
