As much as I loved settlement-building, I'm loathe to give anyone a hard time for hating it, because the game is ass at selling you on the concept if you weren't already gung-ho for it. Little to no gameplay rewards, strongly insisting that you kill the pace of the opening act to trudge back to the starting point and build beds, crops and turrets for a pack of unlikeable NPCs who can't be arsed to do it themselves, Preston locking you into a mind-numbing endless cycle of radiant settlement quests, etc.

oh don't get me wrong, the actual game mechanics for the settlements were absolute shit, yeah, like why the fuck do you even have to build turrets and why do they let you encircle the entire thing with a wall if you still have to go there personally every time it's attacked and if enemies can just spawn inside the wall. and FUCK Preston. but the act of building itself was really fun, if you got creative with it, and didn't just put up the minimum necessary stuff for supply lines and keeping the settlers happy and stuff.
