I'm level 40 and just reached Diamond City. Pretty underwhelming.
I got the "Home Run!" trophy while I was there, visited a few shops and picked up some quests. It was rather bland. It wasn't what I was expecting.
 
The brotherhood is so ruthless

EDIT: Some of these missions are so idk damn. Kind of reminds me of Caesars legion
They've always been straight tech hoarders, not really caring about civilization. Whereas the Enclave cared about civilization, but acts as a totalitarian society. In Fallout 2 the intro shows the Enclave firing on a group of Vault Dwellers, that's because they're trying to cover up what was inside the vaults from the public, as they were just experiments.

Yeah the brotherhood will do anything to hoard tech. That's why I didn't like the brotherhood in FO3 because they were portrayed as the "good guys" for the people when in reality they would shoot you in the back of the head for that shitty ass laser pistol you took from a raider.

Yeah lol. I would say in New Vegas they're protrayed more accurately as they have their hidden bunker and act in seclusion.

Well, they did sort of care about civilization because they wanted to keep the tech from falling into the wrong hands, but yeah BoS were never meant to be the morally good guys, and they were total dicks in FO1. I just hate in FO4 how easy it is to get into the BoS, let alone become a fucking knight within like 25 minutes of meeting them. In FO1 you had to go on a suicide mission to even be allowed into the bunker. They did portray them better this time around, unlike FO3, I still remember that cringeworthy as fuck line "Steel be with you".. Blagh.

As others have said, I also heard its garbage from a friend who wants his money back lol.
I would want my money back too if I actually bought it lol. Played the beta for about 30 minutes and got bored, not from the lack of game modes, but the gameplay itself, it was just dull and couldn't hold my interest at all.

Favorite line of the game so far:

"I broke up with my girl the other day. Kept leaving the cap off of the toothpaste. Know who does that? A synth."

The synth paranoia is actually one of my favorite NPC reactions.
The synth stuff is probably my favorite element in this game.

I love the fact that they can straight up infiltrate your settlements and fuck with your shit until you find them out or they start attacking.

And the fact that some named NPCs are synths/spies. One of the first characters you meet is a synth, and it never comes up in the game ever and the only way to find out apparently is by (PC only) changing them to "non-essential" and thus killable and looting them, where you'll find synth components.

Not much of a spoiler seeing as how it holds no weight on anything and is only discoverable via tampering, but still, it's
Sturges

And the fact that you can randomly find synth components on people you've killed. I mean, it didn't matter but it's a fun little detail.

Not to mention that
Danse
is a synth, which is hilariously ironic.

Im having a hard time with the companions. I really want to use a companion because I feel like they're more than just slaves without personality like they were in FO3. But I already took lone wanderer and I'm playing a stealth build which makes it annoying to have companions sometimes. Curie is too much of a cutie for me pass it up though.

I thought Danse was a pretty cool dude. Turns out he's a huge fucking racist. I really can't decide if I should keep him. He's so good. This game is really cool.

If you want someone equally as tanky and hard hitting i'd say get Strong, but Strong dislikes fun things so fuck that guy.

you can give dogemeat lots of stuff to wear though mine looks like a gay WWII airline pilot ! and he dies easy so most times he runs off and gets killed but you're still hidden at the start of the dungeon !

Okay so this will probably be my first Fallout game, never played the series prior to this, but just want to clarify one important thing: I can play the entire game start to finish in third person perspective correct? I just am not a big fan of FPS style gameplay.

I've read online that you can play both ways, but just wanna make sure before I make a purchase.
