The stunning conclusion to Fallout 4!
...is that it's just bad.

[PREEMPTIVE APOLOGY]
Millions of people are enjoying this game - happy they purchased it and losing many a good nights sleep to their pleasure and enthrallment herewith - and to you I say: Wonderful.

By no means should you let my impression of Fallout 4 ruin your fun. Opinions are like Roninpawns. Everyone's got one. And no one is more or less valid than any other.

But to the minority, of which I am apparently a part, who tried and tried to like Bethesda's latest title, but despite their many sincere efforts could not ignore...

...The unending collectibles on every tabletop and in every desk drawer that you're compelled to waste efforts seeking out and picking up, at least until such time as it can be determined whether the coffee cups and paintbrushes are just the filler-props they appear to be, or are in fact some vital component in a yet unseen recipe; The seven different crafting stations introduced before you have any idea what to do with them, each with its own intimidatingly off-putting mile-long laundry list of things you might spend your time upgrading, combining, cooking, or building -- that is unless you'd prefer to actually play a game at some point; The predictably see-through story that kills off the most likable character before the game can even begin in earnest, immediately removing the player from any possibility of developing an emotional investment in its story's characters; The default key bindings on PC that prioritize ease of access to an inventory screen over having combat keys in familiar, accessible positions, destroying any sense of immersion as you fumble to curl thumb awkwardly under palm into a position that will no doubt result in many instances of carpel tunnel syndrome, simply to lob a grenade; A grenade which lacks a permanent on-screen indication in the HUD, leaving the player to cross fingers and hope that the pin their pulling isn't in fact attached to an inflatable water toy they accidentally cued while arranging the hotkeys; Weapons balancing that makes a semi-automatic pistol more deadly than a six-barreled fully automatic military weapon repurposed from the gunners seat of a Chinook; And action delays during combat that somehow manage to do the impossible where they can make a player armored in a mech-suit wielding a minigun (and wearing a fancy tuxedo, to boot) feel helpless...

To this minority of dissatisfied players I say, "No. You aren't crazy. Fallout 4 totally, totally sucks."
