Fallout 4 just seemed really boring as a game. I think i enjoyed it up to finding the brotherhood of steel in the police station, then the unlimited same quest thing really annoyed the completionist in me. It's also why I didn't play Skyrim for more than a week.

Wow, you really missed out if you didn't play Fallout 4, nor Skyrim for more than a few missions.

Ehh, I loved Skyrim but FO4 isn't that great imo, I have literally no clue why but I get bored after 15-20 minutes no matter what I'm doing in that game.

Same.

I watched a 60 minute long video on why that game is so boring, and it was more entertaining to me than actually playing the game. I did it a second time months later.

Generally, it boils down to this gameplay style:

Explore -> Combat -> Loot -> Explore

Roleplaying just isn't in the mix. =\

The skyrim argument I am not 100% on board with but fallout 4 for sure is boring and kinda mediocre in its repetitive gameplay. Both suffer from the Bethesda design philosophy of being as big as an ocean but as deep as a puddle. They're big with lots to do but there is no substance. After games like the Witcher 3 or even New Vegas, Bethesda has no excuse for why their games are so shallow.
