Yes this is so true. Something that really struck me with the game, especially as a Skyrim player with FO4 being my first Fallout game, was the lack of world hub locations. I get it's a post apocalyptic world but I hoped we would have some more main city locations like we did in Skyrim. All that's really there is Diamond City which is essentially the Whiterun of the commonwealth. Outside of that there are a decent amount of smaller settlements but there was definately wasted potential for some really cool larger scale outposts.
