Fallout 4

Sequel to my first Fallout game, Fallout 3, both by Bethesda of The Elder Scrolls, released in November 2015.
==Hype==
So I totally loved Fallout 3 when I played it during my third year at York. But that was, I'm well aware, because it was my first foray into post-apocalyptic RPGs. Just like Morrowind will always be my favourite fantasy RPG, nothing's ever going to capture that sense of discovery and wonder that Fallout 3 provided. I tried playing New Vegas and couldn't get past the first couple of hours.
So I'm largely expecting Fallout 4 to be, at best, something I play through without really enjoying, constantly wishing it was more like 3, a bit like Skyrim. Hopefully it'll have some fun and interesting little storylines and ideas amongst the quests.
==First play (November 2015 - January 2016)==
I enjoyed the updated graphics and had some fun tinkering with the weapon crafting, but it failed to enchant me like Fallout 3 did, as expected. I found the world to be strangely empty of content actually, repeatedly coming across a setpiece that looked like it ought to contain something interesting but was just empty. None of the sidequests interested me. I did none of the settlement building shit; it just seemed like a boring waste of time. The final clincher came when I got to the main story's climax and found I had no particular interest in taking any of the available sides. I closed the game for the night, looked up the ending stuff online, saw how crap it all was and just instantly lost my final bit of interest in the game. I literally haven't played it since (speaking in December 2016).
