Sometimes our city looks so pretty , it feels like a lie at times <| sep |> Uhm , you ' re welcome ? here ' s another fun fact The combined worth of my full attire is . 23 dollars at the time when I bought the individual pieces . And the people at rminimalism thought I was just making stuff up , but I honestly have no reason to lie about such things . <| sep |> You make a great point . In Fallout 3 and NV I felt like there were a lot of areas populated with friendly NPCs , places where I could trade , talk , quest and feel safe . In 4 the only real hub I can think of is Diamond City . This might be what they were going for the only safe space in a cruel world but I really don ' t like this format . In NV throughout the whole game The Strip was talked about and hyped up , and while it was a cool experience I was never really forced to spend much time there , I did it out of my own accord . In 4 you don ' t really have a choice because that ' s where all the services are medics , ammo , etc . . Another point is the way the quests are structured . In NV you find like 3 towns throughout the first main quest , in 3 you also end up in a town . In 4 it ' s either deserted places or fucking settlements . The main quests take you to two towns I believe and the hubs of the main factions of course . Nothing is really along the way either . It forces you to keep going back to Diamond City and that gets annoying fairly quickly .
