I'm OK with bugs, I know thats going to happen in an open world game,
particularly on the PC. Some of the most fun and memorable things in
Skyrim, STALKER and Far Cry games are when the AI comes unglued and
crazy stuff happens.

 The show-stopper for me with Fallout isn't a bug, its the complete
negligence of not letting you customize the controls. Some keys are
locked out for not reason and others stay hard-coded even if you try
to re-map them. It was never officially fixed in Skyrim (modders did
it), and is apparently even worse in FO4.
