I guess most of your comments on e FO4 could be applied to Fallout 3 as
well. I remember how bored I was playing FO3, especially the
combat. Then I hunted down some guns that were accurate (i.e. no drift)
and some lucky shades and some bobbleheads to improve my stats,
especially luck and things suddenly got a lot more fun. So much so I
played through all the DLCs and also played loads of New Vegas.

I started Fallout 4 at some point, made it to Sanctuary and did some
base building but then just went "meh" on it and haven't played since. I
think I'll try to find the time for playing through FO4 this summer.

Really just Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Specifically, the other story DLC
"A Criminal Past". I haven't quite finished it even once but it's a
fairly interesting add-on. At the start you don't even have access to
your augmentations so it's a nice if short build-up to your final
form. I guess it's possible to do everything without getting
augmentations but I think it's enough if I can do a non-lethal
playthrough. I guess the other extreme would be that every is dead by
the time I leave the prison where this takes place but I doube I'll try
that alternative.

DX:MD gameplay is still as solid as ever. Too bad the franchise seems to
have gone into hibernation again.
