I'm not crazy about "The Outer Worlds". Not that it's a bad game, but
it's not really to my taste. It's more or less what "Starfield" should
have been (and what most people expected it to be), except as seen
through the warped eyes of the Obsidian Entertainment developers. Its
sense of humor just wasn't something I enjoyed, and - even as much as
I usually like Bethesda-style RPGs, I was already getting tired of
them by the time "The Outer Worlds" came out ("Starfield", therefore,
hadn't a chance).

I rather enjoyed playing it even though I wouldn't class it as a good
game but instead all that it does it does ok. What it did suffer from
though was an expectation that this was a spiritual successor to FO:NV
when it's really quite different.
Talking of FO, FO:London now has a release date of end of first quarter
2024. Fingers crossed that the devs have done a good job and I can
finally think that FO:4 wasn't a waste of money!

Ooh, nice! I had planned to buy the DLCs and play it again at some
point, now I don't have to buy the DLCs!
Thanks Ant!

Fallout London? Wasn't that called Hellgate London?
So what, now we're going to have Super Mutants with bad teeth?
Fallout London is a super-mod for Fallout 4, to be released sometime
in April 2024. Made by fans, it will be a free add-on. It roughly
equals Fallout 4 in size (it's actually a bit larger in some
respects), and includes an entirely new world (London, natch),
monsters, quests, armor and weapons... pretty much everything. It is, >essentially, a brand new game in the Fallout universe... except it's
free and not made by Bethesda.
Fans of the franchise are, understandably, excited.

Other game companies try to make it impossible to mod and, in their
worlds 'cheat", but Bethesda has always said "have at it, lets see what
you can do."

I am a bit more jaded then that about Bethesda. Their games
practically require modding... and I think they know it.
And Bethesda has repeatedly attempted to monetize the modding
community too. They aren't saintly. Sure, kudos to them for not
shutting down the modders like some companies might (Capcom, for
instance, equates modding with piracy)...but a lot of those mods are
made simply to correct the mistakes Bethesda refuses to fix.

I'm very much looking forward to it especially as I found FO:4
disappointing. The reason I loved FO:3/NV was you could just go out
there and explore the wasteland for all of those mini-stories. FO:4
just didn't seem to have that but instead a lot more of kill bad guys
grab the loot locations. Then there was the base building, did anyone
ask for that.

Overall it felt that they'd just made a game with lots of cheap content
so that could still reach that 80+ hours of game time claim.

Hmm. I think you just hit the nail on the head of why I didn't care
much for a lot of open world games. There's nothing really interesting
to find or do, it's just a lot of the same thing with minor variation
over and over. There was still a lot more things to stumble across in fallout 4 than a lot of open world games.
Also one of the reasons I didn't care much for NV, it was fairly linear without the usual random things you could find for the most part.
Funny enough I remember '76 as having a lot more interesting stuff to
stumble upon than either NV or fallout 4.
Then there's all the AC/FC games and the like, which really have very
little interesting beyond some more of the same guys to sneak past/kill.
