Ok, I'll keep it short.

Bethesda you have created an amazing game and have continued to excel when it comes to open world rpgs. I first played a Bethesda title when I was just starting high school. Oblivion was amazing because the [censored] npcs WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

For some stupid reason you seemed to have removed this feature from skyrim and now Fallout4 has the same thing going on. I am the damn General of the MinuteMen, I'm not an errand boy. Preston needs to not boss me around and give me stupid repeating quests that I have no option not to take. It clutters my quest page in my data log and it drives me insane.

Am I with the MinuteMen...? Am I with the MinuteMen??????!!!!!! Are you kidding me? I've had to redo that stupid kidnaped npc quest over and over again and the settlers still have no idea who I am. I mean you can design a game where I can shoot adjustable wrenches and explode craniums but adding in 2-3 extra dialogue options for my already useless settlers is apparently too much to add in.

It makes me not want to play the game. I love this game but it's the small [censored] like this that should not be an issue on next gen consoles or pc. Also while I'm complaining about trivial things, can we please For the love of God get an option to clear stupid rubble out of our settlements? The stupid [censored] I can't clear drives me insane. Why?????? I'm sanctuary I want to get rid of all those [censored] ruined homes. In the castle? I was to clear the freaking rubble away from the corners and make it look like I'm actually trying to fix the Common Wealth not just build around trash. Why even give us the option to clear most of the rubble in the castle to get to the armory but we can't clear anything else after that? Also what the hell is going on with the settlers not doing their assigned jobs? They will hammer on their side of a building 85% of the time and I cannot trade with them when I need to which pretty much makes the whole settlement thing almost pointless. I can only build with shack parts or terrible fitting objects that want to float. GIVE ME AN OPTION TO SEE WHAT NO NAME SETTLERS I HAVE ASSIGNED TO WHAT.

The flares and artillery is so stupid it would be better if you left it out of the game entirely. Preston says the artillery range is "Impressive" but if I'm y squares away I can't get support and when I do get the support it's worthless. FLARES. So. Pointless. The settlers are stuck at level 1 and they die instantly when I call them in for help. I'm level 50+, what in the hell are any level 1 npcs supposed to do to help against a freaking glowing mirelurk ×5??? Nothing.

I mean if you're going to shove the terrible settler ai down our throats at least let us hear them praise us for saving them from the wastes and saving their stupid asses from the 20000th kidnapping.

So, that wasn't very short and I'm sure I come off as a whiney [censored] but I spent ALOT of money just to play this game(switching over to Xbox One and purchasing the game and additional content). I will always buy Bethesda games because Bethesda is hands down without a doubt the best to make games in the entire industry. I LOVE BETHESDA, that being said I do not find it acceptable to see Bethesda start getting sloppy in areas where they have and can continue to succeed. Please please please please please fix those things. I shouldn't have to wait for mods to be released for me to be able to fix stupid things that should have been worked out before hand.

Again, I know improbably sound whiney but this stuff is honestly almost ruining it for me. I can't control my own little video game kingdom and my people [censored] on me and it RUINS THE IMMERSION.

Anyways, I love you Bethesda and I love fallout4. Thank you for this amazing game, please consider changing this stuff please. I'm not alone with how I feel. Over at Reddit.com on the f04 subreddit and the fallout subreddit these are common complaints. Especially the non recognition, people have been complaining about that since skyrim was released.

My bestfriend raged, killed most of his settlers, and then Preston couldn't give him any more kidnapping quests for all the dead people.

Or I am really disappointed that my intelligence and skills in medicine and science didn't allow me to speak with Cabot what's his face about the philosophical implications and scientific implications of aliens creating humans.

Game went

"interesting piece of dialogue you could expand on...."

me, "yes"

game takes it away "nope you'll get bored and distracted with that go kill some things"

Greaaat.

*Mayor me comes home to the people he saved from a BS life*

After 10seconds, Marcy yells in my face.

After 20seconds, Random dude 1 looks at me "You look dangerous, I hope you ain't here for me"

WHAT?! THAT'S THE KIND OF THANK YOU I AM GETTING FOR GIVING YOU A LIFE!?

Feels like my boy Sheffield is the only one who appreciates me. Should just take him somewhere else and let the rest of 'em rot.

Yeah, and then the wimp of a man (who obviously wears the skirt in the marriage) comes up and makes your day crappy with his pathetic looks and the crap he says.
