Assuming I can run it on whichever computer I have avaliable at the time...) and I've completely switched sides. Fallout 4 is amazing, despite the issues.I have played it for several hours and stand by my previous assertions, the engine is shit and horribly limiting, the new dialogue has it's moments but for the most part feels very forced (many conversation options are "yes" "no" "yes #2" and "ask for more info"), settlement building feels tacked on and unrewarding beyond the addition of crafting stations (settlers have no names unless you recruit them through a quest, the settlement contributes literally nothing to YOU except crafting stations and storage), quest pacing related to level is...very questionable (At level 11 I have been sent on a quest where my best weapons do 1/100th of the HP of an average enemy because they are so overleveled), the UI is cancerous (no info about items until you pick them up, no easy access info about enemies such as their LEVEL). etcetera etcetera, bethesda has a neat idea with lots of charm but they've executed it with all the grace of a drunken hippo performing ballet, and it will fall to modders to make a workable game out of it.
...I'm still probably going to get a mod that removes the voiced protagonists and restore the dialogue boxes, though, once there are high-quality and very-compatible ones of those released... Though I will probably do my first playthrough with only must-have mods (darker nights, less horribly annoying UI, bugfixes, performance mods, etc.)
