This. It’s nonsense that the player has to source, scavenge, build, and then just let in random people. Remember how big of a deal in FO3 it was to have a water purifier? Oh but now you can remove radiation somehow with just some scrap metal and an old teddy bear. Or the city on the carrier, they did not have a single functioning auto gun or even mounted guns. All the hardware was ancient and destroyed to the elements. Oh but in 4 you can just build brand new phalanx cannons with some 200 year old desk fans you found.
And despite this you never learned how to hang drywall properly so everything looks like it was built by a homeless man on meth.
Then you have to just let anybody wander in and stay there even if you don’t like the way they look. Because you’re the good guy.
NV and 3 felt like you shoot everything you see in the wasteland because you don’t know if it’s hostile or not. 4 it’s all buddies with everyone you meet. There’s no bad people in the world and nothing bad comes of it if you take on unlimited beggars and drug addicts.
The naive liberal values are baked in so deep, it just completely changes the feel of the games and I can’t get over it. 4 and beyond are ultra shit.
