OK people, quit the awful whining about how a post-apocalyptic scenario isn't pretty enough for your vicarious killing sprees. sheee... Next year it'll be a demand that Doom16 have purple ponies, with wings, and bubbles to pop for more points as a player rides around in a swirl of confetti. It starts out slow with the minuteman line and reminded me of SimCity ( a style of "game" that I don't particulary like). The long pauses in dialogue with the panning in on actor-models just standing there totally lacking in affect didn't help immersion. Hey, *sometimes* a pause and slow panning is good, at important junctions, but not as a general rule. But that's a nit. I created a couple of settlements and got used to the GUI and the environment and I'm exploring a bit now and it's getting better. It's the same as FO3 and FONV, but with more clutter - I'm thinking it's now a good time to update my graphics card. The one I'm using has served for years and did great work - but has memory issues with FO4. I decided to put minuteman quests on hold and go to Diamond City. I just walked in the door and haven't looked around at all - but it reminds me of Megaton, FO3, in visual layout. The character "Piper" met at the gates was the first with a bit of personality so that's a good sign. I'm quite getting to like the game.
