No, they won't be back. The gear/ player progression issue with Destiny is not in Fallout 4. Bethesda isn't going to time-gate my Hunting Rifle or nerf my Plasma Rifle. On top of that, the leaked perks/attribute bonuses encourage a player's dedicated playstyle. Even more, Fallout 4 has tons of replay value (as all beth games do) and Fallout 4 won't lock me out of playing the game/ making progression until some arbitrary day in the middle of the work week... >_>
