I think the problem is people want two different games almost. I enjoyed Fallout 3 and 4. Fallout 3 was the first Fallout I played in fact. Going back and playing the first two games was a chore at first but once you get over the beginning hurdle they are fantastic games. When I said the writing is good I didn't mean the story itself so much as the writing that goes into the characters. The dialog options in the first two games were great, and the sarcasm was witty as ****.
The original games and Vegas made your choices carry far more weight. Hell setting your intellect at 1 in the first game resulted in you literally being ********.
Fallout 4 tossed away player choice and the multiple map approaches to a quest. The protagonist is also more of a goody little two shoes which I hated. Very few skill checks and persuade skill checks were horrible, I came across quite a few yellow persuade dialogs that would lead into orange straight after then to red, pointless. Fallout 4s factions aren't as fleshed out either which is a shame. In previous games you were given a major understanding.
My biggest fear is 76 is going to further strip away elements and lore to make it more appealing to a wider audience. We'll see what is revealed at e3.
