This is 100% the opposite of how I ended up playing them.
I've not actually finished 4 and it's tempting to load it up again, although it never grabbed me like 3 and NV did. I've thought for years I should just plow through the main story at the very least.
Fully agree around main quest in FO4 (although far harbour is I think much better). The fear in FO3, coming out of the vault and getting my ass kicked by the raiders in super duper mart, sneaking around terrified in the dark the first time I played it is really a landmark gaming moment for me.
