A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Since the normies are starting to do their GotY thing.

I think mine's Hardspace: Shipbreaker, although 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim continues to grow on me.

I've tried multiple times to get into this fallout having liked the others from the first but I just hate all that base building crap that it keeps trying to force on you.

Is there a mod to remove all base building quests so I can just ignore that shit?

Try Sim Settlements mod. It doesn't remove the settlements, but it makes it interesting.

Instead of doing everything yourself, you can plop down plots for different purposes and then the sellers build it themselves over time.
You can also opt for a pre-made town footprint by choosing a settler as mayor.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out and give fallout 4 another try once I've finished what I'm playing currently. Having them just do it all themselves sounds much more appealing to me xD

It gave me a reason to wanna check back on settlements because it would change while I was away doing other stuff.
It's also much less bunker-dorm-with-turrets.

There are also mods so that settlers actually defend themselves, cutting down on a lot of babysitting.

Most of the base building quests are completely optional. There is a mod that automates base building, turning it more into something like SimCity. I haven't tried it out, but it's a top mod over on the Nexus site.
