I voted no because RPG's has more than one meaning and there's definitely Many variations as well. Bethesda just wants to focus on a different style which is still acceptable.
That's subjective and Bethesda would disagree with your beliefs.
Witcher 3 was one of the worst witchers in the past 7 years. Stability was awful, required 18GB's of patches, content was cut from the game and given back for free because of this fact giving people a false sense that they were giving free stuff away so people could kiss them up.
As great as Mass Effect was, the game shifted from a true RPG to a shooter after the first game. Unlike Fallout which has always been a shooter with RPG elements like dialogs, multiple choices, factions....etc.
I also prefer voice protagonists because I feel we're at a point at modern gaming where every character should be voiced. It's not the 1990's anymore, we're close to 2020 and people still want silent PC's? Wow.
Because New Vegas is the most recent Fallout outside of 4 and was made by the remnants of Black Isles Studio who created Fallout 1 and 2. So there's always going to be comparisons regardless of whether people want there to be.
As a few others the mainquest of new vegas was horrendous. I felt I was given no option but to take part in a silly political scheme because NCR, Caesar knew they couldn't properly win on their own and needed a walking flesh tank know as the courier who survived being shot in the head and laid waste to everything before them locating that same man. But Benny was the only interesting person on the Main Quest. The style of the character, how he dressed and talk resembled Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel who is concerned as the father of Las Vegas. But no they decided that it was a great idea to kill the only cool person in the game that made the MQ great, to substitute it with 3 factions; One power hungry CEO, one trying to be the hero and bring back old government and another setting human society back to 1000's of years where women were merely objects and slaves. And the only option left was a robot called Yes Man who was tacked on because Benny fate. Like what an amazing story. Fallout 4 has it's faults no doubt but it's main quest as was fallout 3's far superior in that sense, not so much choices and using skills or specials as speech checks but the plot was just far more interesting.
1. What's wrong with Equipment Modification? This was a big improvement on the reloading bench and modding of fallout new vegas. Bethesda saw people like that aspect and took it to the next level. So why complain about that?
2. You talk like Game mods is a bad thing? Console mods is something brand new and you're bringing it up as a negative? Wow
3. Automatron = / = Assaultron though I get why you might be confused, and well wasteland workshop just improves on the basic function of the workshop. Bethesda did state that the workshop system was actually not even fully fleshed out yet as it was a late addition into the game.
Complaining about DLC that actually fleshes out a mechanic in the game is crazy right? Why bother adding anything at all i mean it's not like you're grateful for having the dlc.
