By that anology, you're implying the game is less popular than the previous titles?

If so, then how do you explain that FO3 and FO4 both have a Very Positive rating on Steam, but only 6,869 reviews for FO3, and a whopping 51,357 reviews for FO4?

From what I've seen, most of the complaints about the game regarding the main new settlement building and defending feature, are due to most people just not having a clue how to build and defend them.

Plus I do think it's true too that when forum activity is extremely high, especially on official forums, the bulk of it is complaints, not praise.

Infact, forget the forums.

The decent quality threads, cordial presentation, and thoughtful replies are due in large part to this forum's very active moderators.

They swing a big hammer, and are not shy about using it.

QuantumCurt do have a good point regarding questions. Sometimes it's better to do Google search and if someone do have a question, it should be posted in correct forum... we have hint, cheats and spoilers / General Discussion. When Morrowind was released, not so many sites had info about the game so therefor we had more questions about basic stuffs, example: "Where are SiltStriders?".
