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.
