Soooo... Am I the only one that sees fallout 76 as a Minecraft reskin?...
Well I can't say anything about Minecraft as I have never played it, but as I am (was) totally in Medieval Engineers mode since a few months and I was actually hoping for more of those sandbox elements, like F76 being some sort of "Postapocalyptical Engineers". Would have loved to rebuild a whole world with other players, maybe even with digging and mining an stuff.
I love that you can build everywhere now even in vanilla mode (modded this in my F4 and it got so much more immersive, finding some cool wrecked place and putting up some boards and walls and turrets and really making it your "naturally chosen" base camp), but I really dislike two things about the building in F76:
First, it seems everything you made appears and disappears depending on your online status if I understood this correctly. So if you go offline, will the other palyers see whole settlements go? Or does it maybe mean you tie yourself (or at least your character) to a particular server/world and only if you choose to leave the server this will heappen? Either way, will totally kill immersion if stuff in the size of whole settlements suddenyl disappear every now and then .
Second, this silly settlement computer thing. Nice and comforting to know you can pack everything you build and put it up anywhere else. But what the heck, this is Fallout, this shouldn't be possible! Everything you build should be there forever or at least as long as you decide to remove every single thing you placed, one piece after the other...
Well then I thought about the "no human NPC" thing. Maybe they tricked us and there WILL be lots of NPC, but all of them not human but ghouls? Would fit storywise (you are either a surviver from a Vault (human controlled) or lived through 25 years of nuclear hell and became a ghoul. This way they could surprise us with cities inhabited only by ghouls like Underworld in F3, complete with all the merchants and useful NPCs we know from earlier games... I certainly hope this will be in the game...
