I have not really modded yet, only some basic ini tweaks to make the game functional and remove some bugs. Once that was done a few days after I installed there were no more crashes or stuck characters. The framerates haven't really been an issue. With one of the early on BoS quests I had to turn off clipping to get through a wall to activate a button and complete a quest that had otherwise broken. There were a handful of other less game breaking bugs. All in all these were relatively minor nuisances to be able to actually play the game, but a AAA game should not launch like that, even if we expected it to given their reputation.
I like to play through the first time without making any material mods to the content of the game, unless it's completely broken. In the future I might try another heavily modded playthrough with some different choices. More interesting weapons/armor, less (almost zero) scavenging, more varied/interesting creatures and some new areas please and thank you.
Just thinking on it, how much time have I spent searching shelves, desks, crates, drawers for useful shit, and then storing extra shit on my companion, and then being encumbered and having to determine which of this shit I should drop so I can fast travel to my settlement, because god knows I'm not going to bother coming back for said shit...that's a not insignificant portion of my playtime. And it's shitty.
I really would rather not have been bothered with building a base, either. One base is bad enough, but to keep sending me out to secure other shitty settlements by saving some helpless assholes that I'll otherwise never visit? AND THEN they have the nerve to warn me that these settlements I don't give two shits about are being attacked? I'm in the middle of doing some super important stage of the main quest and up pops "Oberland Station is under attack!" Fuck em. That's what I say. The bums lost.
Agree 100%, fucking hate base building. But I do like seeing the shit people can put together! My wife actually does all that shit for me..
