At its core, this is Fallout with added depth, featuring a rich storyline and immersive NPCs. If that doesn’t impress you, perhaps this game just isn’t for you. Keep in mind, it’s a commercial product designed to make a profit—nothing personal. If you didn’t enjoy it, why did you buy it in the first place? It’s frustrating to hear complaints about its price, bugs, or Bethesda in general. Remember, it’s just a game, not a life-or-death decision like a medical procedure. You have the freedom to buy or skip it, but if you’ve already made the purchase, complaining won’t change the fact that refunds aren’t an option.

Many seem to overlook the fact that it’s a well-made game offering hours of entertainment. Maybe the critics are just too used to getting everything exactly the way they want. It’s time to take a step back and appreciate the independence to make choices. After countless hours of gameplay, it’s clear this game is worth the investment.

Update: After the Brotherhood of Steel expansion—wow! The depth of the story and immersive atmosphere make it worth every penny. To those who are still criticizing: either enjoy the game or move on. Don’t pay attention to those who feel overly entitled to critique; they likely couldn’t do better. If you think you can run a company or develop a game, I’d love to see you try.
