Fallout 4: The Combat Zone (Patreon)

The Combat Zone is the perfect microcosm of Fallout 4. It's a cool location, you can have an epic fight in there, and at the end you get a really cool companion. HOWEVER, the isn't any interesting lead-up to the location. You either just hear about it or stumble upon it, nothing really sends you there, so it's completely removed from the flow of the game. As cool as the location is, it's never used again, even though there are unused assets in the game-files that show that the devs were planning some sort of unique quest or mechanic for the location. It seems like you were supposed to take control of the Combat Zone, and you would have been able to set up your own fights and such. All that got scrapped though, which is why the whole affair feels unfinished. Cait herself is a fun companion, and she had a decent story, but she isn't connected to anything in the larger game. I think that she have had a bigger story. The fact that an Irish woman, from Ireland, made it all the way across the Atlantic ocean in Fallout's era should be a bigger story. Transatlantic travel shouldn't be some casual thing. I dunno. I really loved Fallout 4, but that's because I fall in love with potential.
