I just can't get enough of building **** and then taking a step back and admiring my handiwork.
Likewise romance options are also stupid, but are another thing that never gets old for me. I'm a cheesy mother****er and was always thoroughly bummed that FO games never had it. Even Skyrim's marriage system wasn't all that satisfying, even if Aela is my main bitch who makes solo exploring feel lonely and incomplete.
And a talking main character with a personality is a welcome change from the blank avatar of previous games. I get why a lot of people like a character they don't feel is projecting their own persona onto their RPG experience, but I'd rather have a character I can become invested in. And a 50's housewife with a dead husband and a kidnapped baby immediately caught my attention.

I have like 540 or so hours on steam in Fallout 4
I think by now I went everywhere and saw it all.
Give it another try, but this time mod the game. Mod it like a mother****er, and when you think you're done, slap it with some more mods.
The way I play it is I seek out mods that add content but don't break balance. There is no fun in installing a mod that will give you a unique, cool looking super weapon that will make every combat trivial.. but a mod that adds 30-50 new calibers, several guns, and hands them over to the raiders as well ? That's something else.
Also get sim settlements and start enjoying base building! With the mod, I've set up complete (meaning, with food, occupation, homes, water and security for 20 people) settlements in 10 minutes, and it adds an incentive to come back to these settlements, to see how they're changing and what surprising buildings will appear, eventually, where you just assigned a plot of land for construction.
Back on topic though:

An incomplete mural in LA, to promote the game during E3 - which is this weekend! We'll get to see a bigger trailer and hopefully hear some things we want to hear, on Sunday.
