I am honestly a huge fan of the Fallout franchise and have been for quite a long time. It honestly sickens me that Bethesda has gone down the same path as EA and Activision. This game had potential but was wasted because Bethesda was too busy rushing it out before Christmas. It's not a completed game and it was just poorly executed on Bethesda's part. The "game" itself also has problems other than just not being finished.
First of all, the performance is atrocious. Every time I played the frame rate would drop immensely when in combat. Not only would it drop in combat, but it would also drop whenever I was in an area with a few buildings. The problem is mainly their horrible engine that their using because it's outdated. I also find it funny that their going to being using this engine for The Elder Scrolls 6, as well. This just goes to show that Bethesda really doesn't care about the quality of their game, when they're too lazy to create a more updated engine.
Second of all, the PvP is actually bad. Bethesda tried to make the game work for different playstyles, but ended up just ruining PvP in general. What they did is they made it to where if a player shoots another player first, they only do a fraction of the total damage. But if that second person shoots back, it does full damage. That pretty much destroys any incentive to fight another player, as you're probably going to get killed with ease. Not only that, but the loot is cancer. All the other person drops is their junk. That means all of that trouble is only going to get you some useless garbage that is pretty much used for base building. And Base building also sucks, so that makes it even worse.
It's funny because I was going to put a yes for spoilers, but then I remembered that this game doesn't have a story! The game pretty much has you following the overseer, which is really boring. The side quests aren't even that great either, so you can just tell that Bethesda was really going for an entertaining game. The reason the game is boring is because Bethesda was trying to go for no NPCs but NPCs are what make a good story.
All in all, this game is trash.
