Thankfully, mods exist- we already have several ones out there that work on fixing the game’s dialog wheel, and now, there’s one that basically tries to bring a sort of Fallout: New Vegas-esque sensibility to its leveling system as well.
The frustrating thing is, it doesn’t have to be this way- previous games in the series did this sort of thing just fine, and there was no reason for Fallout 4 to go off the, er, shallow end. The game’s dialog system is the perfect example of this, as is the leveling system, which places emphasis on a shallow, perks driven progression tree. Look, I’m sorry, I know it has its fans, but Fallout 4 is not a good game- it’s an average game, at best, and it’s rife with some baffling design decisions, products of a misguided emphasis on streamlining that take away any semblance of nuance or depth the game should have had, and replace it with brain dead systems in their wake.
