What the hell does that mean? The only way I can think of that they could be related is like a brick of blow or junk to a bottle of whiskey.

Every game needs a female character to choose from. I'm sick of the same ol macho tuff man who is the biggest and baddest asshole or the perfect handsome white boy who is always the righteous. I choose female every time. Days of male pride are over and needs to be humbled.

I think where Fallout4 really shines are the sidequests and companion quests. The main storyline wasn't that interesting or even well executed, but exploration is pretty rewarding and taking on camps for loot. Shooting mechanics are on a whole new level compared to F3 and NV, this can actually be played as an FPS. For me that's a good thing, you have to decide if you like that or not. And it's the least gamebryo game of bethesda. Meaning the shortcomings of the engine are not as pronounced. The settlement building bit is far too tedious for me, and without mods what you can build is pretty limited. I'd not play this game without mods. Or any bethesda game for that matter.

I'd say the gameplay, especially the shooting mechanics, are a huge improvement over previous Fallout games. The protagonist is now fully voiced, which is a nice touch. I also like the new crafting and power armour mechanics as well, more in depth and overall more interesting to use. The story is also decent, not as good as NV, but better that Fallout 3. Whare is game's weakness? Basically, in the overall RPG experience itself. It's not easy to get the best out of the leveling system and both the dialogue and branching choices feel more limited than in previous games with some dialogue options not changing anything. The settlement feature was also nice idea, but to be honest it wasn't well executed, and I can only imagine that it's even worse on console. It's frustrating, pestering and difficult to use. It's a mixed bag, but if you're willing to up with a slightly more inferior RPG experience in exchange for better action gameplay, you should enjoy it.

In addition to the one I have? Whichever I can turn around and sell for the largest amount of $$$$. It's amazing :)

I don't think it's underrated it deserves to be rated lower as it is worse than Rise of the Tomb Raider, and The first reboot Tomb Raider as well. If you enjoyed Shadow of the Tomb Raider, you should play those too.
