I don't get the hype... I watched the gameplay trailer and it looks intensely underwhelming. Ignoring the sales jabber, it looks like a big, empty world which, at its best, is a knockoff of No Man's Sky. They barely show any shots that aren't the PC staring at a big, uninspired vista or having bland combat in bland sets. Considering how Bethesda releases go, how AAA releaes in general go, and the fact that trailers like these are supposed to OVERsell the game, I'm not really all that interested right now.

Considering how Bethesda releases go

Fallout 76 was a flop because it just is a bad game, but haven't Bethesda releases been otherwise a great success pretty much always? Oblivion, Skyrim, single player Fallout games have all been great hits and are still actively played to this date.

That's why I'm actually slightly hyped for this. I reflect the trailer to the gaming experience of Fallout 4 and get the feeling that this is just going to be yet another Bethesda game I'll be playing after 10 years still. Sure, there are going to be lots of funny and not so funny bugs but I guess nowadays that's the way every game is released.

Bethesda has a better track record than the bandwagon naysayers want you to believe. It all comes down to personal preference though and I have loved pretty much everything they put out. Form your own opinions. Not that of sad neckbeards with nothing better to do that crap on what you love.
