TBH ALL bethesda games are absolute shit until the modding community gets their hands on them. If it wernt for the modding scene Bethesda would be effectively dead on the PC platform. This. I miss Black Isle. I was a huge fan of Fallout 1&2 and 3 was a completely different game. It had some good parts, but it wasn't an RPG like they made in the old days. You shouldn't be able to make CHA a dump stat and then pass every speech check by getting the speech skill to 100. Or max out every skill and every useful stat by the end of the game. Or be completely unable to kill certain quest-related characters. In the old-school Fallout games you could kill anything or anyone for any reason or no reason at all. Even the children.
