TBH the story was the worst part of Fallout 3. I found myself wanting a multiplayer version without the story.
If optimized this seems to be just that....
I'll reserve judgement till closer to a beta.

yeah. I was pretty vocal that the base building was my favorite part of fo4. and I wanted more of that. more sim elements. Survival mode good as well.
the problems I see here, are the same problems every survival game to date has. Pve vs pvp is untenable in every one of them. the rulesets are shit. the tools given to players are shit. Money/time is split between making a barebones FFA pvp battleground, and a barebones pve survival game. And then neither has any staying power.
Need to say fuck it, and just make a co-op pve survival game. I like pvp too. but it just won't work without 5 more years and millions of dollars more of dev time, that no one can afford to spend. And, there are plenty of pvp battleground games. why would I play this for pvp, when I can just go play fortnite or something?

Check out New World in MMO if you haven’t. Seems like they’re spending the time and cash on a PvP survival game.

it was good canned fun but they really fucked themselves letting New Vegas exist. It set the bar soooo high for what fallout could be that unless they try to meet or exceed it, nothing will ever compare, but with the gaming landscape nowadays it's simple math to realize it's just not worth the effort.

FO4 was a great raider-shooting action game, but a terrible Fallout roleplaying game. I'm not sure what more I can say about it. Mileage may vary and all that.

I never played FO3 or New Vegas. Is that something I could add high resolution textures to at high resolution and go back and enjoy today?

I think yes to both, but honestly if you're going to do that play 3 first then NV. 3 won't be nearly as fun if you do NV first. Or just do NV and understand the main games are just not that game.

I did play virtually every path in FO4 (for and against Brotherhood, Institute, Settlers, Underground Railroad, etc). Loved the stories, not so much the game play. Was probably too easy to cheese to the point where I was basically one or two shot sniping like I did in Skyrim (infinite escalation of enchanting an item vs stacking all the correct SPECIAL talents and consumables in FO).

Pretty sure nobody at Bethesda is creative enough to come up with a homicidal toaster or a light switch that just loves the way you turn her on.

It is my favorite single player game of all time. Well tied with FO2. I go to Goodsprings around Halloween every year.

I pretty much ignored the base building in FO4. Didnt care about it at all really. I wanted to like this because I have never really done the survival game thing. How ever for it to be appealing to me long term it needs to have at least one of these things and preferably more. The first is meaningful long term character progression. The second is meaningful PvP. If base building is to be a big part of this game then there needs to be a reason to raid peoples bases.
The previews showed a game about collecting junk and likely for building and crafting. I didn't see anything else really and their PvP system strongly discourages PvP. I don't see this game going anywhere for me with out something like the above.

AFAIK, the base building isn't a base in the traditional sense. It's just a collection of various workshops and items that you can plop down via a deployment system, and can move to different locations and so on. It's not building literal buildings or settlements or anything like that. At least that's the idea I got from all of the earlier info. Haven't seen anything relating to it since.
