(plz don't hate) After playing through fallout nv and 3 before starting Fallout 4 I've been enjoying Fallout 4 the most. I understand that the dialogue is vague and doesn't always say what you want it to and it not having interesting factions but for some reason I enjoy it much more than the previous games .

If you build defense it reduces the chance of attacks so you should build defense in your settlements to make it less of a hassle.
