Hard disagree. They're at the bottom tier. F4 in particular has abysmal writing overall.

Go play through The Outer Worlds and get back to me.
I have played through TOW. Its writing is better despite being way too silly and ill-conceived. For the most part, at least it's inoffensive, unlike the F4 utter stupidity (I'm not even implying franchize related stuff here). Kinds of shit though, not worth debating tbh.
FO4's writing is just mediocre. TOW's writing is actively insulting; it drains your love for anything videogame related. By the time I finished TOW I wanted to throw myself off a bridge. FO4 just made me go 'well that was a bit shit'.

Also FO4 has Far Harbour which is quite a bit better than the rest of the game, whereas TOW's DLCs are somehow even worse than the main game.

Since I am only playing FFXIV with a friend that leaves me more time to play Fallout 4 again. I'm excited to get another playthrough in. I think i'll make some melee psychopath who makes robot companions that specialize in melee too.

:bounce:

Gotta say this melee with robot melee companion has been a blast so far. Tell me about some builds you have enjoyed.

It sounds stupid, but a no perks character is surprisingly fun. You have to adjust tactics for various enemies & situations, rather than just use the same old stuff that's dictated by your damage perks, things you'd normally overlook like doctors or non-weapon vendors are actually useful and settlement building, which normally has no downside, becomes a balancing act of building what you need while trying to minimize xp gain.

That sounds awesome. I am going to do that on my next playthrough.

I don't even like to recall that Fallout 4 exists. Soiling my username by tagging it in this thread with the expectation that I'll consume Bethesda franchise rape material is probably the best way to get on my bad side.

I will never understand Rusty. He plays good games but then he plays bad games. He must be a human bean of some kind I know it.

A V.A.T.S. only challenge on survival without taking Grim Reaper's Sprint was actually a decently fun experience, as it's both more difficult than normal gameplay AND you avoid having to deal with any of Bethesda's shooting mechanics! Overall a pretty fun experience that also adds a bit of strategy to the game, which is always welcome.

So what would you say your favorite FO4 quest is?
