It's going to be buggy, have shitty writing, a shittier engine, and it will fall completely to the modders to make a good game of it, much like skyrim, but people are going to go absolutely batshit and WORSHIP it all the same.
The writing... I can't argue with, if Skyrim is anything to go by. The 6 or so major characters in the Fallout New Vegas DLC Old World Blues (not made by Bethesda) have more personality than 1/2 of Skyrim's characters combined... And the voiced protagonist will only make things worse and harder to fix for modders (and say goodbye to any good quest mods I guess?)
The Engine... Well Skyrim's engine is far more buggy than New Vegas' engine, but NV was a HUGE improvment over Fallout 3; perhaps Beth will take a page from Obsidian's book and give the engine a good overhaul and upgrade from the Skyrim-Fallout 4 jump... Hopefully.
And hey, modders saved Skyrim. The game was fun at first but quickly got boring, but mods have kept MANY people playing it and have some honestly quite interesting and fun content at times.
...As for the last point... Yes. Bethesda games have, at the very least since Morrowind, been pretty much worshipped by fans (asides from those with Nostalgia Goggles) and while F4 may have pissed off some fans with many of its changes, it does improve on the formula drastically in every other aspect from what we've seen in gameplay footage.

But alas, to each their own.
And I'd noticed for a long while now, and it probably isn't intentional of peeps in the first place, but Surge and I have had the exact same reputation rating for a long time
Even when it was lower it tended to be the exact same number
Are some of you trying to ship us or something
DRAT! THE MASTER PLAN OF REKSURGE HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! ABANDON SHIP!
