There don't seem to be any real role-playing choices in the game so far. 
Maybe I'm just not far enough in, but i think I've got about 1/3 of the
map explored in the upper left.  Even FO3 had some pretty important 
choices in the first settlement.  The only choices seem to be non 
dialog based.  Ignore people, help people, or kill people.  The dialog 
seems to always lead to the same conclusion of help whoever you're talking 
to.  Most of the quests are pretty boring standard MMO fare of fetch or 
kill so far.

I am enjoying the game, but it seems to have lost quite a bit on the RP 
side from even FO3.

On the combat side, I'm not caring much for the way crits work, and I'm 
not sure about power armor.  It was a major endeavor to get and learn to 
use power armor all the previous Fallouts, but it's there right off the bat 
in FO4, though I'm finding it difficult to get enough power for to use.
