yes, i played it, and i spent hundreds of hours with the settlement builder mode doing cool unorthodox builds, like a historically inspired abbey at Abernathy farms, a secure test facility for that transportation device thing at the Castle, and a Minutemen embassy to the BoS at Boston Airport.

it pained me every time someone would shit on the settlement building and then promptly declare that the only thing they used it for were farming shantytowns to get bare minimum happiness for the settlers or whatever. it's like uh yeah of course you thought it was shit, because you didn't have any imagination with it.

Settlement building is what kept the game fun for me, long after it'd normally have been "meh". Turning crappy, garbage zones like Tenpines Bluff into something cool -- like a friendly Yao Guai sanctuary with an Orthanc* tower in the middle -- was more fun than any of the terrible, terrible plot. Definitely shouldn't have charged players to buy in-game assets as "settlement DLC" or whatever the hell that was. Just jacked up the price of the season pass.
