I have mostly stayed away from this thread to not fill it with my negativity but I feel like I might be playing the game wrong so please bear with me on this. I want to enjoy this game because of the stunning visuals and good gunplay, but the game just goes out of its way to funnel me into dialogue scenes and boring fetch quests filled with constant loading screens.
I have been doing faction quests so far. For the story, i stopped after the villain attacked the lodge and the eye. Should I continue the story before finishing up the faction quests? the vanguard quest was ok, nothing special. decent. but the crimson fleet quest which is supposedly the best questline in the game feels completely void of any action. i thought being a space pirate would be cool but 90% of the missions are talking or stealing stuff as if this is the thieves guild questline from skyrim. its so fukking boring.
I have barely done anything with ship building, outpost building, and weapon building. im nearly 40 hours in. By this point in Fallout 4, i had all faction quests done, my sanctuary had all kinds of awesome systems built, my weapon customizations were off the charts. here i feel like i am playing a dialogue simulator with a few shootouts here and there. All the cool shyt is hidden behind skills which are hard to earn because the game is so stingy with its XP. Doing side missions is just boring and repetitive since they keep repeating two bases over and over again.
I guess I can do loyalty quests and see where they take me but i HATE talking to people. Its constant and its not fun to play as a jackass because you dont get to see your character say those lines and be a dikk.
Please tell me im playing the game the wrong and let me know if there is an optimal way to play the game. I loved building the sanctuary in fallout 4, but havent even bothered to build outposts because there is just no point and i never have the materials.
