The railroad only focusing on synths makes a lot of sense actually. The more people pass through their organization the higher the odds is that they get detected by the institute, at which it all goes crashing down. They focus their efforts on synths because being a broad anti slavery organization would be way too risky. Additionally the commonwealth doesn't have much slavery compared to other parts of the wasteland, so presumably there was some other broader anti slavery group in the region beforehand that disbanded out of a lack of necessity. Maybe thats how the Railroad we know got started, freeing synths after human slavery became pretty rare.

The main issue wasn't that the Rail Road only help Synth. The problem is that where were they when the people of the Commonwealth need these guys.

I personally believe Fallout needed to push the "Final Act" back and fill in the Third Act with the 2nd attempt at forming a Commonwealth Provisional Government, with the Institute being fully against it, the Brotherhood (with it's cut content) either being against or for it, and the Railroad and Minutemen being for it. This would help push the factions into conflict where there is conflict to be had and it would help iron out the Minutemen into a "Democratic" Faction against the Military Autocracy and Technocratic Autocracy that the Brotherhood and Institute represent. Having something in the story after your nuke the Institute and maybe the Brotherhood would definitely help round the story out too, but I think if there was something that actually set the stake and posed the factions against each other before you wrap up the main story, that would help fix the story a lot.

Best part of Fallout 4, in my opinion, is that you build and lead your own faction. It is far more bare bones than i would like, but of you take the time and develop settlements, the minutemen become the most powerful faction in the commonwealth. The brotherhood quakes in its little power armoured booties at the sound of minutemen artillery. In my playthoughs the minutemen are the last faction standing. Like all Bethesda games, mods vastly improve the experience. Somehow Bethesda has mastered the art of releasing 1/2 finished games, and outsourcing the other half to the modding community to fix/finish.

[@CantusTropus]

Too bad you can't actually make any changes to the Minutemen, or actually lead them in any meaningful way. Preston still gives you tasks and expects you to do them as if he was the leader, too. I agree the idea is cool, but they should've committed more to it and allowed you to actually make decisions, such as deciding whether the Minutemen remained as a vigilance group or evolved into a proper government, whether they decided to impose conscription, etc. That way there might've been some more meat on the bones of the concept.

[@thebigbarton]

@@CantusTropus I agree 100%, unfortunately the Minutemen are an inch deep mechanic wise. I RP all that extra stuff with "personal lore" in the end. Using mods i populate settlements with Minutemen guards, I "colonize" and settle far harbour, as well as nuka world. I build government buildings, i go about building extra settlements in better locations. There was so much more they could have done, but in true Bethesda nature, everything is only partially done. Pulling on my tin foil hat for this one.... Preston is secretly the shadow general, he manipulates and rules from behind the scenes letting the SS do all the work and take blame for the destruction of the BOS, RR, and institute. Then one day he and the SS are going to explore a Boston alleyway and only Prestons going to walk out, then the Minutemen will have a new general.

Yea, I gotta say, as annoyingly bare bones as the mechanics are and as repetitive as the quests, I love the idea of the minutemen. I love the idea of building a faction, of reclaiming the wasteland, and of building not America, because let's face it, the idea of recreating a country that's been gone for two hundred years is neither possible nor really even desirable, but a new nation in the wasteland. I envision a commonwealth where raiders and supermutants are a thing of the past and dirt farming settlements can grow into proper towns and cities. I imagine creating an intelligence service from former railroad operatives, getting the Atom Cats to lend their skills to helping build a power armored force, and putting the surviving institute scientists to work (under close watch) rebuilding a base of scientific knowledge.

Reminder that the majority of all Bethesda games sales are console games. All of them who at release were completely unmoddable. Skyrim sold over 75% of it's first legendary sales run on console, and again when Special Edition came out. The idea that Bethesda's business is run off people who mod the games is EXTREMELY ignorant. Yes, Bethesda games last an almost infinite time with mods. Yes, Bethesda games are amazing for being a sandbox for mods. No, Bethesda doesn't depend of mods for games sales. We don't represent anything more than a minority, of a portion, of the sales of Bethesda games. Console games will always exceed PC games, and even then only a small amount of those on PC with Bethesda games actually mod them. Bethesda games have always stood on their own legs for years regardless of mods.

Nuka world is my favorite fallout 4 DLC because it's just fun, absolutely tedious at times but I felt accomplished when I wiped out all living things in an area and sent my favorite faction there to take care of it and give me free stuff. I loved exploring the cool sections of the map and seeing small stores told by environmental storytelling, I loved fighting a shit ton of space themed robots. The only part that I did not enjoy was searching around for those computer cores and letters for the nuka quantum power armor, and the key to unlock the door and find what's left of the man who invented nuka cola. I straight up cheated to speed through all that, that was dumb as fuck. I liked nuka world for the same reason I liked mother ship zeta, it was just good fun, interesting map to explore, cool new weapons, not really any interesting characters but who would expect a raider to be interesting. Oswald was the coolest character there, dude was magic and had a kinda tragic backstory. Nuka world wasn't meant to be morally questionable or give you tough situations with hard choices or anything like that, it was just supposed to be fun. That's how I see it anyway

[@Supercohboy]

@@Achillesnic Point Lookout absolutely blows, if you think it's better than Far Harbor I invite you to give it another go. Take in that lovely mod-sized island, full of a couple dozen houses, a mansion, and 3 cool quests. Enjoy the 4-6 hours you'll spend on the island shooting the same 3 enemies over and over again before packing it up and leaving the Bayou with pockets full of miracle herbs. Check out the handful of scripted events and the barrage of samey loot, samey houses, samey bayou aesthetics everywhere outside of the admittedly neat carnival-port. I played the DLC and had to double-check that it was the right Duchess Gambit, the right Point Lookout DLC that I started and finished. It seriously felt like something made by a team of 5 in ~6 months including QA/bug testing, or something that one dude in a basement spent way too long making. I felt ripped off over a decade after release, it can't hold a candle to Far Harbor.

I think the big thing about Fallout 4 that makes it so engaging is the world map. There’s way more variety to the types of environments you can find, and it makes wandering around killing enemies and picking through garbage more interesting that pretty much any other open world game aside from BotW or TotK. In 3, you had bombed out wasteland, bombed out city, and metro tunnels. In NV, you have desert, the strip, military bases, and more desert (and one cool mountain area to be fair). Then 4 has forests, swamps, bombed out cities with tons of verticality, coastlines, sewers, classic wasteland, and a horrifying super wasteland that slowly kills you. And since the exploration is more rewarding than ever due to random junk now having extreme value from its components, you want to rummage around in ALL of it. It makes an incredibly addictive gameplay loop, even if the main quest sucks ass.

[@hengineer]

Fallout 4 is “Bethesda” the game, it’s very fun, very enjoyable, but you have to build the story yourself. Fallout new Vegas is memorable because the places and characters feel real and lived in.

The new charisma mechanic and dialogue system (basically having three buttons to say yes and one to ask for more info) is also kinda goofy but otherwhise the whole stat/perk system isn't terrible. But other than that i really do love Fallout 4 quite a lot and i think it's important to still be able to criticise something you love. The other thing is also that you can "fix" or change quite a lot of things in FO4 by just downloading a boatload of mods if you don't have fun.
