Fallout has been struggling quite a bit in recent iterations, I am hopeful that Microsoft could return Fallout to it's story roots and produce some good games in the series...
I don't understand the butthurt over Fallout 4. I'm not a purist, in that I didn't play anything prior to Fallout 3, so that my come into play. 3 was good. New Vegas was good. 4 felt on-par with those. (We can all agree that 76 was a steaming pile of excrement.)
I'm sure my feelings about going from 4 to 76 is probably on par with how the people that have been with it since the beginning felt when they went from the 2-d turn-based to Fallout 3.
4 isn't on par with those and they try very hard to hide it. Your dialog options for example, ever notice it doesn't actually list what your character is going to actually say?
Here is one encounter which shows the example. 4 options to say the same thing. There is no choice in the vast majority of your conversations.
I think that dialog would probably illustrate my biggest issue with the plot of the game. There's really no way to "escape" allying with the Minute Men at the beginning of the game. You can be a dick all you want, but Preston always stays around.

Heck, maybe they could even improve Fallout76!

Microsoft wont return it to the New Vegas era. Microsoft will turn it into a generic 1st person shooter.

In other instances you'll have 2 or even 3 dialog options that are the same thing.
