Can it be saved with mods?

Not in the same way Morrowind, Skyrim, and NV can be, no.

cope. it is the most popular and best selling fallout ever made.
more people play it than Fagout: Neo Vagina

>>712594210 (OP)
The "Mods will fix it" meme died with Starfield.
Modders need Bethesda to make a good game so they can leech off of it.

Only through the power of boys in loincloths and ritualistic tribal mass rape of wasteland women. Bonus points if the boys engage in womb busting.
Also give them a pet deathclaw that they use to break in new captures.

No, even with all the mods you can handle youre still Seans dad and exmilitary, only now with supplementary text that sayd "not really, wink wink"

It's fun to play as a warlord and do retarded shit with the Institute.

>caring about the story
Nah game needs heavy roleplay mods exclusively. There's no saving let alone salvaging the story aspects.

>>712594680
Anon thats what Im telling you....
You can attempt to mod out the gay story all you like, Being Seans dad will ALWAYS creep in. There are 0 mods that successfully gut every aspect of Nate being a premade character

Kinda, but >>712594309 . You can make it a nice little survival-ish shooter, mute your protagonist and give yourself dialogue options and all that, but you've still got writing that isn't anywhere up to the level of the previous games at the end of the day. Accept it as campy, toss some texture, lighting, and a whole lot of lore friendly weapon addons from the other Fallout games into the levelled lists and just enjoy it as a post-apocalyptic looter shooter - before you go back to playing the other Fallouts.

I like the mods

>>712594210 (OP)
What's wrong with it?

>>712594964
There are mods that entirely remove the story and just turn the game into an austistic hardcore survival game.
Which is actually what the game is best at

Unfortunately not. The dialogue is ass, quest design even worse, encounters are garbage and barely provide any challenge. Base building is alright. They couldn't even get the tone or atmosphere of the game right, it's aesthetics has too much bright colors.

FO4 modding the moment loverslab autism ruined the future for FO4 porn mods. Fucking autistic admins...makes me want to sperg out and learn how to build a proper sex framework

>>712594210 (OP)
It doesn't need mods, it's already a great game because it's fun to play. I know that is s hard concept for /v/ to understand but try your best and you might see it.

>>712594349
This one fact has caused more seethe on this board than anything else in history (non nintendo).

>>712599840
It's a crappy game

>>712599996
It's not.

No, you can't
The best you can do with FO4 mods:
>turn it into a knockoff STALKER/Metro/Tarkov
>coombait that is worse than Skyrim coombait mods outside of more easily accessible modern outfits
>Rust basebuilding at home
Nothing that actually makes the base game enjoyable and fun to play and a worthwhile story to get invested in.

>>712600429
The base game is already fun and worthwhile though.

>>712594210 (OP)
Yes.
I'd suggest playing it vanilla (optionally with community fix mods that don't change gameplay) and figure out what you'd want to be different and go from there.
No sense doing a first run with a bunch of mods.

Anon, I was playing FO4 on day 1 of release. No, it really isn't. 95% of the character writing is complete shit apart from Danse and Nick (who are admittedly two of my favourite companions in the series), the main plot is repetitive garbage that is the exact fucking same between nearly every faction with a big boom spectacle replacing solid motivations for actually capturing the Institute, the gun design is atrocious, enemies become overly tanky very fast, the game runs and looks like shit, it's overly buggy/unstable (especially in the metro area), character builds are stripped way back in terms of diversity, dialogue system is BioWare tier shit.
Only good parts of 4 are the aforementioned basebuilding mechanic which encourages players to explore even the low level worthless areas thoroughly for items (but then again replaces actual towns with legitimate characters and quests with 'CLEAR THIS AREA CAPTURE THIS OBJECTIVE' tasks), and the power armour mechanics. That's it. Everything else is done better somewhere else in the series.

I didn't read anything you wrote. Fallout 4 is great.
