@amillionhp: I've logged more hours in Skyrim than any other single player game in my gaming life. (now 30+ years). So, i disagree. True sandbox adventure game.
I've played Rust...and Conan Exiles. Two games that seem very similar to what Fallout 76 is proposing. Awesome experience with the GAME and building. But I'm not playing either after a week or two. Why? Yup, griefer pvp powergamers.
@sdzald: So, so true. It's almost as if this Fallout team has never played an online pvp game with options for co-op or griefing. Because, most just go the route of griefing, especially the power gamers.
@bonkdacarnivore: Right? Unless there are significant negatives to killing other players (like your character slowly turns into a ghoul or mutant and all you are is a creature that can't level and is cannon fodder for players)
@bonkdacarnivore: So, so true. There is a massive gamer base out there that love to compete in pvp FPS'ers. And that's cool....but, that's not fallout.
@Runeweaver: So true....even just simple things like spamming chat, or having their character constantly run circles around your character shouting and acting like a 3 year old.
This is just going to be another online FPS, just set in the fallout world. And then if it's monthly fee pay to play,it will be a boring killing grind to level to experience more content.
We'll see though, will go in with an open mind. But, most people on the internet are immature when they online game...maybe I'm getting too old for this kinda stuff.
"Shelter can mean anything from a small stone shack all the way to a giant castle, complete with reinforced walls, towers, and even a trebuchet. Building is block-based and relatively free form, allowing for hugely elaborate base designs that can be some fun to build, provided you take the time to gather the raw materials to build everything you need. That's all well and good, except for the part where you aren’t shown how to do any of it. It’s all up to you to simply figure out or dive head first into a wiki to have anything explained in detail."
You missed one important part about this...figuring things out, and playing with designer and structures is FUN. So let me rephrase this for you.
"Shelter can mean anything from a small stone shack all the way to a giant castle, complete with reinforced walls, towers, and even a trebuchet. HOW COOL IS THAT!?

AWESOME HEY!!??
