Holy shit Settlements, coming in from someone who was very much not into the idea of it... yeah it's not that bad. But good god, navigating the larger Settlements just has so much dead time in it, I once spent almost 10 minutes looking for Jun Long in Sanctuary. And don't get me started on the initial confusion on how assigning people to work on Food actually works.

Personal improvements I'd like

• Have an option to work from the sky view of the Settlement and make it instead of having to trudge along with sprint disabled. There's so much time wasted on Sanctuary just going back and forth and looking for specific settlers
• A No Clip/God Mode of movement when doing it First Person Style, again just a lot of time wasted
• A visual UI for assigning Settlers to assignable objects in the Settlement
• Built in ways to stretch objects, more flexible snapping, honestly just make the placement system a lot better because have you ever tried building a fence and the ground is uneven?

Personally for me, any sense of immersion you gain from the first person perspective of actually building already flew out the window on Workshop Mode anyway I'd rather they just go ham with it and make it feel less tacked on.

Though if I am honest, I'd still rather there be more fully functional and developed towns with a lot more narratively satisfying fluff so I'm not too keen for these to be expanded on too much in the future if a sequel ever happens because it could mean there'll be more one-note areas with nothing in them but some minor exposition.

EDIT:

One other thing I also thought of is how there should be other Settlements that aren't in your control that you should be able to trade with! If they bring back Karma that would be cool, like losing a safe and reliable trade route because it's allied with a faction that you just recently pissed off. Fallout 4 really should have had more factions and groups instead of just every other small group of people just there to be part of your gigantic Settlement System. I don't like how eventually the MC pretty much controls majority of the trade we'll be seeing.

Also unironically, I want building things to actually take in-game time and settlers to actually build it, gives me more of a reason to go back out again and explore instead of getting sucked into the whole Settlement.
