I decided to continue my playthrough despite my disappointment initially as I can't help but compare this one to NV. I also applied some mods to enhance the experience, I'm having fun but it seems to me that the VATS system have seen a major downgrade. I'm trying to play with a home rule to not use the FPS Call-of-fallout-duty mechanics as it makes the game too easy.

I found it the other way around, VATS had all the OP shit (more dedicated perks than normal combat, if I'm remember correctly, and then critical hits only work using VATS because fuck you that's why  ).

I believe you see him if you side with the BoS. You've seen him in a previous Fallout game. Not a good one tho.

Fallout 3's narrative was so rich and gripping that he completely forgot about it.

To be honest, I had not known about it until I saw the bomb remote item (before finishing the game) and did research on it, they did very well at hiding it if you chose any other faction than the Brotherhood.

Technically they were repairing it, not building it. It was a pre-war creation. Hence all the spouting off about Commies it does.

Started a Survival Mode character now, with all the crap in Sanctuary I already made a tower, water supply and a basic farm which only needs someone to tend to it. Been reading about a playthrough where someone didn't leave Sanctuary once, I think I'll try this for a bit and see how it goes, smashing insects has worked well so far.
Better Endings Mod (not sure how good it is):

The Resurrection mod, which adds a 'forest' look to the world, was updated/is updating to the 1.3 version.
Edit: It looks like the author removed references to the Lite version of the mod (meant to come with 1.3). Disregard that now.
Edit2: but the author just added an optional texture for grass, for performance
Something else to take into account: the mod will also have other presets:
- Dead (currently in version 0.1, a world that looks more in ruins)
- Winter
- Desert
Also, someone shared screenshots from a modded Fallout 4, which I personally thought looked real damn good:

Can you imagine building a settlement at the Red Rocket Truck Station, with all of that grass clipping through the ground? SO GOOD.
But for people curious, here were the mods involved:
- Resurrection http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11121/?
- Grasslands http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11267/?
- Photorealistic Commonwealth http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6796/?
This is the performance claimed by the user:
"GTX 980 Ti | i7 6700K @4.2ghz | 16GB DDR4 - 50-75fps (2560x1440, Ultra Settings)"

Yeah there were a lot of ENB presets for Skyrim early on that attempted similar photo-realism but it has the same limitation and tend to make brighter daytime lighting and weathers look washed out plus the simpler lighting and materials meant ENB had to "fake" some of the added effects or Boris implemented his own shaders such as for example the replacement sub-surface scattering effect on skin or re-enabling the parallax shader.
(He's pretty damn talented for getting around game engine limitations, as long as he remains motivated on continuing working on a particular game which can vary though as seen with Skyrim he eventually added effects like high quality ambient occlusion, soft shadowing, cloud and sky shadows and general lighting tweaks and much more.)
EDIT: I guess it also helped that Fallout 4 is almost the Skyrim engine but with a few additions and improvements, also really helped with modding since tools and such adapted quickly to those changes.
(Though in turn it has similar engine drawbacks such as heavily relying on the CPU and the updated PBR materials are a bit half-ass with Bethesda using their own "simplified" implementation of it which can vary a lot in quality.)
(Also has similar engine bugs when it comes to critical issues like save-game bloating, reliance on mod content being almost permanently added to a game with Bethesda being heavily against removing mods from a existing game and other stuff from almost back with Fallout 3 or even Oblivion.)

I found it funny but didn't laugh because I am alone in front of my PC. I think this is called a lol?

Fallout 4 is far too easy to break. Previously, I used Load Accelerator, a d3d11.dll, which increases your FPS during loading screens (as the game loads much faster that way) and brings you back to 60fps during gameplay (to avoid the game glitching out).
I then tried 2 ENB with Load Accelerator as proxy, and that worked fine, but the ENBs were terrible. Not only the performance hit, but they made the sun of Far Harbor look like it was going supernova (even with their Far Harbor plugins). So I went back to my previous setup.
And now, the game limits itself to half of my refresh rate. I removed the ENBs, reinstalled Load accelerator and reshade. Then disabled those. But the game locks itself to half of my refresh rate and I don't know why.
At this point, I had to choose between running at 50fps with the game's vsync, or unlocking the framerate and limiting it to 60fps, but with a bunch of tearing. I went 60 for now but might go back to vsync if the tearing gets worse.
(50fps, because it's a 144hz monitor, but I'm using VSR to run Fallout 4 at 1440p since the FPS doesn't matter, this reduces the monitor to 100hz. At 60hz, the game limits itself to 30.)

If you have a Nvidia vidcard you could try Fast Sync. (368.22 GeForce drivers)
"The Fast option is currently only available under the Vertical Sync setting in the Nvidia Control Panel for GTX 1080 and 1070 GPUs, but can also be enabled for the GTX 600 series and above using Nvidia Inspector as covered here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/4l86nm/fast_sync_is_available_right_now/
"

I don't but I'm not sure this would fix my issue if I did.
If I sync the game to my 144hz monitor, the game will run too fast and glitch.
If I switch to 60 and sync the game for 60fps, I go back to having very long load times.
That's why I don't use normal v-sync on the game already, and instead focused on unlocking the game, but limiting it to 60 in-game and unlimited on loading screens (both done using Load Accelerator).
Otherwise, I'm guessing I can force v-sync through the AMD drivers.
Thanks for the recommendation tho!
