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.
