Fallout 4s writing was pretty objectively bad, the gameplay was a huge improvement though.

Fallout 3 was pretty disappointing to most people who were expecting something like Fallout 1 or 2 but the story was definitely more competent than Fallout 4, still mediocre though. Never heard anyone call it revolutionary.

New Vegas was made by Obsidian, not Bethesda and it’s a solid way to compare what good story looks like.
