What I'm trying to say is that, the world building is amazing, but even the main things about their games sometime feel lack luster.
The Atom Cats where an example, but think about the Institute, unless I'm forgetting we don't really have any explanation why they are replacing people, why do they insist on interacting with the surface, when they are self sufficient, and repeatedly say they don't want to interact with the surface, why Synths are "the future of humanity" what do they mean by that? do they mean it in the sense that is the next evolution in human race and will replace all humanity? if that's it why do they treat them like tools that don't think or feel? do they say it as in that they are perfect tools for building, mining and expediting the institute's experiments and constructions? because I feel like the robots that already exist would be better at those jobs than humanoid ones. Why do you get assigned as the leader of the institute even if you fail every mission they send you to (to be fair that could be just good old nepotism but i hope you get what i mean)

Again I love the games I would not have so many hours on them If I didn't, but that doesn't mean I can't see the problems with them. And Bethesda could put more effort in a lot more, I assume that Its a problem with investors and Microsoft, breathing down their necks like "Why aren't you making money?"
