@maiyannah As for the settlement mechanic in 4, that's likely my favourite feature of it, and something the previous games REALLY needed. The wastelanders lived for 200 years in crumbling buildings... why? They had immense amounts of concrete, stone, processed steel, all the resources they needed to build proper homes and fortresses to live in. Instead they choose to live in crumbling shacks and blasted buildings. They don't even bother to get a broom or shovel and clear out the rubble in their houses. In 3 the brotherhood of steel recovers the pentagon, and in the pitt they restart the industry. In NV some factions try to recover pre-war machinery. In 4 however, the character is given the chance to rebuild, which is mandatory as a pre-war man would be used to building and caring for his house. There's steel production and weapon building. The characters actually care to move forward again, like in the first two games. IMO the only thing it lacks is proper attacks against settlements.
