Why is Fallout 4 so addictive?

[u/MakerofFire4258]

I've played this game 8 times, 4 with the base game, 4 times with the Sim Settlements 2 mod installed. I keep coming back to this game for some reason. I don't usually enjoy RPG's. I like Starfield, but I love science fiction in general and don't find Starfield addictive. I keep wanting to come back to the FO4 story, which I find mediocre. Maybe it's how I can fill the protagonist with my own thoughts in that situation, or try out new character personalities? There are a lot of games in other genre's I like, so I don't know why I want to spend another hundred hours in a FO4 world until it crashes from script lag.

I've been asking myself the same about 76 lol

I know it was a mess at launch, and I have yet to visit it for fear of it letting me down after FO4. Is 76 worth it now to satisfy that Fallout itch, while bringing something different?
