There is a lot of concern for this game, and it seems to have gone out of hand in my opinion. I've watched a few videos on peoples opinions here and there, plus videos on why they went in this direction. Bethesda is now in a unique position, due to the type of criticism they're receiving. I want to touch base on a these "criticisms".
Online Mode
I personally like the direction they're going for this game. A lot of people in the past have said that they would love to play Skyrim, Fallout 3 or 4 and Oblivion with their friends. However I think the idea of it being strictly online is what's got people worried. The situation with mods would most likely have "transactions", so you would pay for certain things. I'm just hoping this does not affect the game play in it self... Something that could potentially give you an advantage by paying a few bucks here and there does worry me. But I think it's best to reserve judgement before they've officially shown where mods will go. Online only apparently means you can play by yourself but you're most likely to see others in your world too. But that's where private servers come into play. It might actually be a saving grace for a lot of people, because here you might be able to truly experience the game as a "single-player". It'll still be online, but that would be fine. This does make me wonder how 3rd party mods will be implemented. They said themselves in an interview that they understand community modding is what keeps the longevity of their games... That is a great thing to hear!
Nukes!
Yes I'm sure a lot of people have that "I don't want some 12 year old kid destroying my base". But I don't think you're really supposed to have just 1 settlement you create and simply stick with it. I'm sure that you will need to find resources to build your base, but I think the way they will go about it will be less tedious than most people have speculated. The terrain itself is also affected by
Nukes! which is a nice addition in my opinion. I doubt affected terrain will be the for you if you where to join your friends game. But rather your experience, items, quest progression and possibly house will follow where you go.
My concern is that it will be the same old buggy trash as always. Except unlike Skyrim and Fallout 4 where one can save scum if the quests break or do not go to plan due to bugs or bad design, instead they will permanently break with nothing you can do about it. They cannot even make bug free single player games, let alone multiplayer of similar complexity.
They've never done beta testing before, and they stated that that's what they will do before official release. It seems as though even they know full well how buggy their games can be. They would like to prevent a disaster of a launch through beta testing. They're in a great mind frame in my opinion.
There are a lot more I could talk about, but I honestly think this game looks great. Before I finish off here... I'll put below a video that should clear up a few extra things for those that have not seen this video.
Thanks,
