Fallout 4 is basically an extension of the points this guy makes for the dumbing down of the Elder Scrolls series:

Oh look another video bitching about DEM CASUAL GAMERS!! and game mechanics being changed for the benefit of the player, what a surprise
Oh look, frajaq missing the point again, who would've seen it coming?!

Mechanics being changed for the benefit of idiots, more like.

For the benefit of which player? (Fallout or Elder Scrolls?)
To me, the changes seem like adding automatic transmission to a formula 1 racing game for benefit of the players.
*Put another way... It's the difference between a game that simulates the experience of doing motor cross stunt riding ~for those that don't know how; and a game that simulates gravity, the bike and the hills.

Video guy complained about removing stats from Oblivion -> Skyrim. Which is actually a really good thing considering they sucked ass and were annoying to plan around with.
Thankfully a similar thing happened from F3 -> F4 when Beth took out the boring skill system and made it all perk-based

Wow you are the problem.

That's never a good thing for an RPG. If they were bad, they should have been fixed; if it was intentional, then they should fess up and admit that it's not meant to be an RPG, but rather a costume simulator.

Why is there not a "Give +2 rads"?

That's not Fallout. Also... Stats and skills are there to define a character; they are not so much enablers, as that are the outer bounds. They are there to indicate when to say no, in the let's pretend gaming session. When a company makes an 'RPG' where opposite characters can both manage equally at the same challenges... Something is really wrong with that game, or that company.
These two should not play about equal in all situations:

It also limits replayability tremendously.
I find it funny that every point that guy made was debunked nearly a day after that video came out, and people still post it as if its true.

I disagree, my experience in playing my Two-Handed Orc Warrior in Skyrim was extremely different from my Thief/Archer Khajiit in the same game
And this WITHOUT needing stats

Will you recount some examples?

You must also find it funny that the top comment for that video is someone asking him to do another one for Fallout 4 because most of us see it for what it is - dumbed down and mediocre.
I also find it funny that you think it's possible to "debunk" an opinion. He actually made another video in response to the fanboy backlash from the first. The fact is fanboys can't stand the thought of someone disliking things they like.
