FO4 has been slammed even by those who generally love the game for the poor (or sometimes non-existent) manner in which it describes fairly basic gameplay elements. For example, when you're first able to build settlements and edit the environment around you, the game provides very little information on something as simple as connecting a power generator, all the more infuriating as the player is actually required to do this once in the campaign. Then there's cracking passwords on computer terminals which again is poorly explained even if players will eventually get the hang of it, it's possible to go hours without realising there's an advanced perk system, and you possibly don't know how to holster your gun or shoot from cover. There's a lot to be said for keeping in-game prompts and text to a minimum in order to sustain the immersion factor, but it would've been cool to know these things right out of the gate...
