That's a good attitude to live by, if I say so. 
I'm still playing Fallout 4, and I'd it since the release date. Bad news came the next day after I received the game, so I had to put it down for a while. But, I'm finally back in the mood to play it.
I don't leave home without my shotgun
and Curie
. I need to get the new DLC, but I'm unsure as of now.
I'm sorry to hear that my man 
I hear you on the shottie, I keep a combat shotgun on me always, though I have a soft spot for the good ol' double barrel.
Honestly though, my go to is the ****** laser rifle. I had no idea it was so boss on this game. Especially automatic laser rifles... Ridiculously good.
Just made a new character after I played the dlc, ditched agility and luch entirely in favor for endurance and strength, as I barely use vats in this game aside from lining up a shot. Plus weapon bash killing people is too fun, and actually very useful. Aside from that, it allowed me to get armorer and science perks both, which is what you need to fully trick out your metabots... I mean automatrons, lol. That aspect of the dlc really saved what would otherwise have been a mediocre dlc.
Still, I wouldn't be in a hurry to get it. Made a few vids if you want to see what it's like. I'm not the best at making recordings and my pc apparently doesn't handle running Fallout 4 while also trying to record it in HD, so excuse the framerates in the vid XD. Not the best.
