Just got a PS4 and debating getting FO4. Does anyone know if there are mods that make it more of an RPG?

So I played a fair bit of this game with a buddy when it first came out, and after playing every previous Fallout game, I was quite disappointed at how railroaded it was and how it didn't allow for much role-playing. I hated the voiced protagonist dialogue and how there were always only 4 options to choose from at any given time, I hated how the game forces you to be a minuteman If you want to engage in the settlement system, and I hated how there was no truly evil way to go about the game amongst other things. So many other aspects of the game were incredible, but it really just felt like a railroad shooter with an RPG levelling system - falling quite short of being an actual role playing experience.

Unfortunately my PC can't run this game to be in true mod heaven, but I see that PS4 now has (limited) mod support. I browsed online a bit looking for mods that fit my role playing needs, but I didn't find many answers. Does anyone know if:

-There's a mod that diversifies dialogue/silences the protagonist and shows you exactly what you're about to say instead of those cryptic abbreviations?

-Any mod that allows you to recruit/invite settlers to settlements without joining the Minutemen?

-Any mod that makes a more raider-style play through possible?

-Good mods that enhance the role playing experience in general?

Thank you so much.

Unfortunately, mods cannot fix problems that are core issues with the game, let alone Ps4 mods.

However, there is a mod (unfortunately not for ps4 though because it requires custom scripts) that allows you to see the rest of the dialogue, and it is an essential install and I was impressed with how quickly it came out.

Not sure about the rest though, certainly not for ps4 unfortunately.

Not really for PS4, and not many in general. Fans have pretty much accepted that it is designed from the ground up not to be an RPG, so they instead focus on weapon and armor mods. And nude mods.

Sad day. Hopefully Bethesda will let Black Isle work on a side-game with the FO4 engine while they work on TES6, as was the case with FNV while they worked on Skyrim.

Obsidian, but close enough

Fraudulent Black Isle? Really? You must hate the franchise or don't know that the Black Isle you remember doesn't exist anymore and whats called Black Isle now is/was (afaik the "new" Black Isle doesn't exist anymore after fraudulent Interplay died) fraudulent.

I believe you can do settlements without joining the Minutemen, just help the residents or clear enemies & search workbench as usual. They'll be allied to you.

I saw in the subteddiy that someone is working on creating a New Vegas mod in Fallout 4.

That might work.
