I play it, maybe one longish session a week (2-3 hours) with my brother. We'll bounce around to events, sometimes just pick a direction and start walking. Can usually find some detail we haven't seen before, or get into some sort of dust up with a bunch of monsters. We don't worry about min-maxing our characters, and I've never felt the need to put money into it, although my brother has a subscription. We've played since shortly after launch, and he felt like it was worth his support. I liked the game much better before they 'fixed' it by adding NPCs- before that the desolation was just creepy, and there was a lot of storytelling in the notes and tapes you'd find. But it is pretty much just wandering around an open world- there are grinds if you want them, but mostly I've just used them to guide our meandering. And the main quest line is ok, it's just not as extensive as doing 3 or 4 with all the dlc. What is weird is that people who don't like it just can't accept that it's just not to their taste, and that maybe they're not as big Fallout fans as they think- every post about it has people who act like it's a crime against humanity, whether they've played it or not.
