Nice writeup!

I haven't played FO4 yet, but wasted almost a year of my life playing
Skyrim and figure there are some real similarities. I waited until I
had done almost everything possible before taking the next main quest
that would push the story forward. 

Some were great, but a lot of them were stinkers. A kidnapping, or
whatever the case is in FO4 sounds like something that would add a
sense of urgency to a game that isn't about that. Since the main
quest/endgame could have been anything they wanted, that seems like an
odd choice.
