It looks and feels just like Fallout4, but I'm having tons of fun exploring and killing stuff, i heard about the disastrous launch in 2020 and i was very concerned if i should get this game, but i have experienced none of that here except for extremely unoptimized areas that make my FPS drop to 30 or so, and Bethesda is one of the "AAA" studios out there that can make 30 fps feel like 5 fps.
THE GOOD
* Ok-ish character creating options, they sort of copied the Saints Row Body Triangle.
* Good graphics
* Nice quests
* Good exploration
* Good combat
* Great crafting mechanics
THE BAD
* Unoptimized Stuttery mess, seriously Bethesda, STOP USING DX11 and go for DX12 or Vulkan! it's 2022 for F SAKE!
* Not very good character hairstyles (-Edit- seems that much better ones unlock after leveling up, found a bunch of very nice ones)
* Server timeouts that kick you out, luckily they don't happen TOO often
* Super Spongy Enemies and INSANELY spongy Bosses.
* Annoying fetch quests that take you all over the map and making you spend caps if you fast travel, and the "Fetch" continues over and over and over until you finish that particular quest.
(Edit) After over 200 hours of game, i found some more annoying issues
* Game constantly freezing at login screen just after launching it, i need to keep launching the game like 4-5 times in order to actually make it into the game.
* Game Randomly crashes, it does not happen often but so far had crashed 5 times in 200+ hours.
* Character glitching out and getting into the power armor slightly miss aligned which results in the camera getting screwed and making the pipboy look super tiny with super long Character arms.
* Related to the above issue, sometimes when entering the power armor the player character gets stuck before entering, which results in every input getting ignored, you're basically stuck there standing in front of the Power Armor and not being able to do absolutely nothing... you need to force shut the game in task manager.

Latest update on the game, i got to admit the game was fun... BUT I'M DONE WITH IT. It's just INSANELY grindy and Bethesda stupidly set limits to Scrip, Gold and Caps. There were days were i wanted to play more, but i just had to quit... because my Stash was full and my character was overburden with lvl 3 star legendary items in my inventory... and all i could just do was to quit and wait for the scrip to reset. VERY, very dumb... like what was Bethesda thinking? second, the game is still very glitchy and to the last i played i still had the issue entering and getting stuck in front of the power armor. yeaaah... also, countless of times the wendingo colossus got stuck under the floor and his head would randomly pop up, but without the whole bunch of people being able to kill it. Someone launched another nuke at the mine like 8 minutes later, i guess this person was salty we all failed the Colossus event, so i saw the same people trying their luck again at this quest and we all took his health down to like 5% twice very quick, and just when we were about to kill it the game disconnected... LOL... like, seriously? unsure if it happened only to me or to the whole server, but there... it happened.
Like one hour later the above issue happened, My last straw was when i entered the area where the Scorched Queen spawns and i saw a Wendingo Colossus fighting 2 legendary Scorched Beasts, (I even took screenshots) and the colossus tore them apart very fast. I'm not sure if some hacker spawned it or if it's something that happens very very rarely, but i spend like 20 mins trying to kill that thing on my own, as it was very early in the morning (4:45AM) i almost got it after like 10 minutes of using my electric autoaxe, but the damn thing healed, which is a normal thing with all Legendary enemies or bosses. But then i took another extra 10 minutes trying to kill with scorched and scorched beast also coming at me and annoyingly getting in the way, and just when the damn thing had like 2% of health the damn game crashed... yeaaaah... at least i got a bunch of nice XP killing all those scorched and glowing wendingo that keep spawning. But i'm done with this game, i got to a point i don't want to deal with it any longer, i just can't. The game is currently uninstalled and i got no plans to go back.
Bethesda, SERIOUSLY... YOU NEED to dump that turd of an engine. That engine should be considered as cancer at this point.
Even after my edit after reaching 200 hours my overall score of 80 remains. Just beware of the above issues.
