It's the only Fallout game I've ever played and I loved it. One of my favorite games ever honestly. I don't understand the hate.

I love 4 but it still didn't hold a candle to 3 and NV to me, and it took me a while to figure out why exactly.

1. Talking protagonist was a little off putting. People like to complain about the dialogue options when compared to the earlier 2, but since you have a talking main character, there's no need to spell out the dialogue and then have you character say it out. So it might be a nostalgia thing with that, but like I said in a previous thread, I prefer the silent type.

2. World seems empty. It's big, but I can walk around forever and hardly see a thing, whereas in 3 and NV I was constantly on the lookout for rad scorpions, boatflies, or raiders. To me it seemed that there aren't enough encounters.

3. Again, this is a personal thing, but all around 4 had too much to go up against in terms of how I felt about the other 2. Honestly, just with 3. NV is probably the better game but 3 was my first venture into the bethesda open world format and I've never been the same since.
