I haven't ever held off on purchasing a game I wanted so bad. 

FO4 now appears to be acceptably playable without constantly using
VATS, but instead of improving Skyrims horrible control customization
they actually made it worse. Unbelievable.

The STALKER series is my favorite of all time, so I'm all-in on the
darker/bleaker the better. Other Fallout games have sort of a
whimsical streak with the dark tone. Just like Borderlands, dark
content with a splash over gallows humor work well together.

I'm in when either Bethesda (lol) or modders fix it. Seems like the
key re-assigners like Auto Hot Key and Glovepie are creating other
issues with the game.
