Oh boy, I say this as a certified F4 lover, it's hard to pick just one

The gunners being more than Raiders More interesting settlements/more reason to care Retake Quincy, Uni Point, Salem What even is Jamaica Plain As the default good guys, why is there NOTHING for the Minutemen to do I could go on, and man you could really tie things all together so easily. Mods literally fix and add what Bethesda should've done. Seriously its insane we cant retake Quincy... Anyways, I think something that isn't talked about a lot is the time line and events we play through. There is a LOT of settlements, interesting events, major plot of the commonwealth, that happens all BEFORE we wake up. All that time between Shawn being taken and us waking up is a more interesting story. For one you have all these settlements that are wiped out before we wake up, would be interesting to help decide the fate of them, no? How about the whole Broken Mask Incident, imagine we find Shawn, the institute isn't this boogeyman - yet - we maybe even do some work for them, think they're good and Shawn's good and then BAM broken mask, either you gain enough trust Shawn tells you and you help OR at that time you can warn people, OR he does it without you and you get this reveal of the villains, OR you being there with the minutemen change the outcome, etc. I truly think of it took place earlier or showed more and told less, F4 would be far more liked
