I want to recommend this game. I really do. I love the world it's built for the players, I love the fact that I can play this game with my friends and family, I love how flexible making builds is, I love the base-building mechanics, I love the random events you can attend with other players and work towards a common goal, and I love this game continues to see new content.

This would be the perfect game if it didn't practice scummy tactics to reap profits out of its players' hands. Like so many other live service games, it introduced problems in that game which we can then pay to remedy. Imagine this: The total weight limit of your stash box is 1200, and I don't mean each stash box, I mean the whole thing. 1200 is all you get, and if you're a hoarder in a survival game, you'll be reaching that limit very quickly with the amount of scrapped resources and ammunition you'll be finding. To "help solve this problem", Bethesda introduced the ammo box and scrap box, but only if you buy Fallout 1st, a membership subscription that costs 100 dollars per year. Not 80, not 60, not 20, ONE HUNDRED. It gives you a monthly "allowance" to make it seem like it offsets the cost, but it's really just motivating you to spend more in their cash shop.

You can try to play the game without the subscription, but it's easy to get frustrated how little the 1200 weight limit actually is. Best case scenario is that you get a group of friends with each person holding onto particular types of items to divvy up the load. Still, hard to recommend suffering that kind of inconvenience and then get tempted to pay Bethesda more money.
