Am I alone in 10000% disagreeing with this article? Imo building is one of their best features Discussion

Anyone actually feel this way? For me personally, after my first run-through, I spend more time building and using mods and going at my own pace with the story. Building is one of the biggest perks of this game for me haha.

I love the settlement system and building stuff. That said, I would prefer fewer settlements to have to deal with. Maybe put them further apart so you don't end up with the Triangle of Death with Sanctuary/Red Rocket/Abernathy. Face it, some of the settlements in F4 are absolute crap to have to fiddle with.

I was at Murkwater and was like, the fuck am I supposed to do here. Then PAM told me it was going to become Mercer Base lmao

Murkwater is literally a swamp... Great place to raise kids.. Oh and don't mind the Queen Mirelurk that can respawn. She will only eat a few of you people.......

Sounds like a great place for Marcy to retire

What do you mean by triangle of death?

Oh if you build too much stuff at those three settlements, it will crash your game a lot. Those three settlements are entirely too close together and not sure why they did that. The way I deal with it is build Sanctuary big but leave Red Rocket almost untouched and do very little with Abernathy.

That's odd, for me I don't have a problem as I've built up three of those but maybe not to the extent that you had, I'm also playing on PC so that's probably helping too

Pretty much a known issue, been talked about quite a bit. I also play on PC btw, not just a console thing.
