I think I've just deleted Fallout 4, a couple of weeks ago. Stopped playing months before that, though.
Suffers from the same thing Bethesda's Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim and FO3/NV do. They're way to ambitious and fall not even short, but far from achieving it. They want to pack so much stuff into the world, they don't give enough attention to aspects of the game and all of it ends of mediocre. Without the modding community, without the hundreds of mods that do everything from adding better resolution, better lighting, better meshes, better FPS, better memory-usage...etc. all of their big title would be mediocre, at best. And sadly, by the time one finds all the necessary mods to make it a good game, it becomes boring, because one probably ran across the entire map and did everything, or got bored of it, halfway through, because of other flaws.
I remember when Skyrim was still in development and the developers showed off the game at a convention. In the video they 1. bragged about how they have "always been about detail", *snort* which is demonstrably not true, and not just because all of their games immediately needed a HD pack, besides the mod-altered meshes and shaders. 2. They were so excited to show the new dual-wield system, dual-spells...etc. and when the game was released, the player couldn't even bind the keys, so they could comfortably switch between separate spells for each hand. No. Several different mods, all nicely achieving that, needed to be created, because Bethesda couldn't even do that, after all the patches and DLC. The main-quest was broken, and not even further in, but at the 3rd or 4th objective, when you had to move to another town and this guy behind the door wouldn't talk to you. Sure it doesn't always bugged out like that, but it was a potentially game-breaking bug, in the main-mission, almost at the beginning of the story-line, even after release, and after several patches. Who the fuck tested the game. Rhetorical. Then, when I've already quit the game, I read about some new expansion and saw in the bug's list, that some of the new content was inaccessible due to bugs. And I just had to laugh, then. I mean, the whole point of a DLC is the new content, and Bethesda fucked even that up, among 1000s of other things. To me, they are just notoriously incompetent.
