Honestly? No. It feels like bethesda games are getting buggier, less safe to mod, and more exploitative of the fanbase all at the same time. It seems like modding f04 is, if not exactly more difficult, at least less stable than modding previous titles. They added the creation club and sold season passes, both of which are eugh. And it's just my own experience, but fallout 4 feels the buggiest out of any bethesda title to date. Even in an unmodded game, I'm walking on eggshells making sure I do everything juuuust so or else the games going to implode. Quests, dialogue, and animations are constantly bugging. There's a tremendous number of issues with textures and models. Fullscreen and windowed both have bugs, as do most of the graphics settings. Not everyone experiences them, but it's likely you will experience at least one or two. Objects just disappear when loading, and many, many of the perks don't work as intended. Even if everything in fallout 4 worked well it would be a mediocre game. The combat is okay, but not amazing. Increasing difficulty just makes everything into a bullet sponge. The settlement building can be fun but we're very limited by the wasteland theme and it's tedious. There's laughably little to actually do, and few npcs filling the game, making it feel barren. I started a sneaky character in my first run but had almost nothing to steal because there's nobody to steal from. I also went charismatic but there's barely anyone to persuade and little to gain from it. If anything, a lot of persuaion checks just speed the conversation along, which means less dialogue, but you get a little xp for it. Modding helps, but not enough. And when you add in the colossal number of bugs, I'm starting to wonder what we're paying bethesda for. Their products feel like an early beta on release, and never get fixed. I've enjoyed the game a little, but I've spent more frustrated hours trying to get it to work than I have actually playing, and if I could go back in time, I would stop myself from purchasing this.

Surprisingly, I've heard the opposite complaint, too. I recently watched a video showcasing weapon mods that complained that most weapon mods aren't viable to use in endgame, and end up only being good at lower levels. I think mod authors design their weapons to be balanced in their own games, for the most part, which means they're not necessarily balanced in games of people who have easier or harder settings. Plus, of course, people who just make their gun ridiculously overpowered for the fun of it. Some ppl enjoy tossing enemies around like ragdolls :P
