This game is good, that's a baseline, but upon doing my first replay from teenage years I have come to realize a lot of moments in quests would have just been done better in New Vegas.
Take for instance the quest where you go back to Vault 101, you just say one sentence and the Overseer is like "damn okay I guess i have been kind of tyrannical, sorry ill stop."
Lots of other moments too where its like pass a speech check to convince someone, or just say another non-speech check option and still get the same outcome. Its very much designed around "every character build has to be able to do this", but they just made it so its not really fulfilling for any specific build.
Not sure if its related to this game, or just on coincidence, but when I started playing it I was getting death anxiety every day. Don't know if its because the game is post apocalyptic, or (again), just a coincidence that i started playing this game, but I do think when I think about Fallout's post apocalypse I get anxiety.
