In Fallout 4, I figured out that if you never talk to Preston Garvey to
finish off the power armor quest, the entire base-building suckfest is
omitted. That's how I played it in a second run. I don't believe that was
intended play.

 Yes, exactly. Although, for some easy XP, you could walk with Garvey and
his friends to Sanctuary and then set up shop in the nearby Red Rocket
station. So maybe the devs did consider that.
 Somewhat similarly in Fallout 3 I stumbled upon the main plot in that
aircraft carrier without doing any of the plot stuff between there and
Megaton. Game continued just fine from that.
 But I can't say if there are games I've played differently from
designed. Well, maybe some glitches in old GTA games to reach areas
supposedly locked away.

I think it was on this NG that there was someone who was in the camp of they wouldn't play a game if a god cheat mod wasn't available as they wanted to explore everything the game has to offer. Each to their own and all that but I couldn't really understand that mentality.
For FO, that's the way I played 3/NV and I presume it's an intentional design that you have a choice of just wander around and see what happens and forget the main plot.
