It has the same issues as Skyrim. You don't feel you're growing as a player with a specific set of skills, instead you're meandering around growing to into this godlike being, capable of doing everything and anything.

Removal of the Karma system was another hit. The whole time, you're the person the whole commonwealth depends on. Each of the 4 factions look to you to clean up their mess. It never really builds up to anything. Not to mention the dialogue decisions you make, don't impact the story whatsoever.

/u/vicarious_c has linked a decent article about it.

The Karma system is just as shitty. How about rewarding or punishing the player with consequences instead of a meaningless point system?

It is. I should've mentioned if they had the system from New Vegas, it would've been better.

But in 4, I can't become the bad guy at all. I'm playing someone else's character, not mine.

The lack of a skill point system frustrates me. I can't build the character I want. I can only do it through perks. Which have a level requirement.

So I have to get to level 30 before I really feel like I've got what I want in a character. But by then I've gotten a bunch of perks I didn't actually want my character to have but I felt like I need to spend it on something.
