MODERATORS
So you need a shit tonne of mods to make this AAA game enjoyable?
I played the game 40+h without any mods and had a lot of fun. It is very much enjoyable without mods. Can mods make the game better? Yes, sure Are the mods needed to have fun with the game? Absolutely not.
For my curiosity, what on Earth could you possibly do for those 40 hours? Cause for me that's about 5 times more than it's worth spending with the game in its current state.
I'm 60 hours in and haven't touched the outpost, ship building, or equipment modding. Main quest and 2 faction side quests completed. I've enjoyed my time and bought the game with the expectation that it would be FO4 with some things improved some things worse and a new setting.
There are definitely failings and it's not a 10/10 game but for a lot of people it's a great game. The proc gen system needs more variety but that can be improved through updates and mods. If you prefer handcrafted content follow the quests and you'll see minimal repeats of the POIs. I don't regret my purchase one bit and would be fine if no DLC, mods, or updates happen even though I prefer they do. End of the day make your own decision based on what you like just realize it's not a dumpster fire and not the perfect game that everyone should run out and play.
I did more or less like you. I tried the outpost a bit, but when I realized they were irrelevant (same with modification and ship building) I just continued the main quest.
The dame has flaws, and I generally don't buy games when they just come out, but I'm not disappointed in this purchase, despite the flaws of the game.
