f3 was fine-ish and f4 complete shit, in my opinion, storywise.
Bethesda fallout and Obsidian fallout live in different universes. Bethesda universe is static with all known elements that return and rerurn and return again sloghtly remixed, Obsidian one returns to f2 theme of post-post-apocalypse where nations fight for resources. Bethesda fallouts are better games, while Obsidian one is a better story.
I would honestly love to see a Fallout with the sort of gameplay in 4 with a story more in the style of New Vegas. The dialogue tree in 4 left a lot to be desired, the plot didn’t leave as much room for player choice as it might have, and there were lore elements that weren’t consistent with previous games, but the combat was great. And honestly, it was much more open-world than 3 in a way that felt more like the other installments. Fallout 3 was a lot of being hedged in by limited options in the ruins of DC and a lot of very samey subway tunnels. The environments of 4 had a lot more variety and let the player roam more.
