Reply to comment by johnhughthom in which game has a better story, Fallout New Vegas or Fallout 4? by SeedsOfEssence

Most of the good story quests are faction related. BOS has a few good, so does the Railroad. Instutitue and Minutemen also have some good story questions. The DLC stories also have a few really cool missions. I have 2300 hours, bought it day one, still play it at least once a week for a few hours. Mods really can help out areas that are lacking. I spent 800 hours without mods, I think I have 50 mods now. Some add a lot to the story and adapt it. I love Fallout 4 as you can also make your own fun, ignore the story and just to walk around. Plenty of unique location quests.

Bethesda's best storytelling doesn't come in quests. It's the environmental storytelling where you go into a building and what happened is told in notes, terminals, skeletons and other items.

A game where Bethesda created a world and Obsidian wrote the stories would be perfection.

I agree 100%. Some of the best is the story you discover in locations throughout the enemies there logs and notes. Same with set pieces. No dialogue but it says a lot.
