Well I have to say, the depth and variety of Fallout 4 has made up for it's shortcomings.
I was skeptical at first and still a bit disappointed about some design choices but building your own community, modding the absolute crap out of the weapons/armor, modular power armor, and overall polish of the game have outweighed the changes.
So far, I've dumped 20+ hours into it and I'm just getting started. The skill system has been completely replaced by a revamped SPECIAL system that is simplified at first glance but really has quite a bit of depth once you realize that each stat opens up a plethora of options beneath it with several ranks per perk. In short, it is different but it still very much feels like Fallout and plays very well with a huge world to explore and difficult choices ahead.
