1. "RE: Return to the Commonwealth"
In response to message #0
 
   I know why I stopped playing FO4: The settlement system. Okay, I get it, Bethesda. You saw something that was popular in mods for FO3 and NV and decided that was what gamers wanted to see in your next game. But your execution was in the Top Gear fashion: Ambitious, but rubbish. When I'm in whole different state and I'm getting "(insert settlement) is under attack" messages, you totally kill the immersion for me. It's doubly aggravating when your first major DLC ("Automatron") actually increases the chances that my settlements will be attacked until I finish that quest line. And the cherry on top is one of my companions cannot stop talking about how there's a settlement to help.

And I know that I'll be told that it's "optional." The problem is that, once you've exercised the option, there is no turning back. The game punishes you for not dropping everything to run to the defense when a settlement is raided. The only settlements I never got called to defend were Sanctuary and The Castle, and that's because I turned the former into a fortress and the latter already was one.
