Settlement raids. Bethesda made this game a tower defense game without ever asking, "Why would we ever wish to do this/why would our players want this?" It ruins the game, unequivocally. Imagine someone bakes you a cake. Then they throw it on the floor and spit on it. This game is that cake. *sigh*
I bought this game, almost exclusively, for multiplayer. Be forewarned that the game utilizes a cloud-exclusive hosting system for multiplayer, meaning that you cannot: direct connect by IP, host your own client-side server, connect by LAN, etc. You can only use MuHa's cloud server, and that, as I've now learned, is insufficient to the task. I repeatedly get the following error when attempting to connect on MP games, "A problem has occurred. The game may be unstable and or crash. Any saves created after this point may be corrupted." This only occurs on launch of a MP game, and never in single-player mode. It only occurs during "peak" traffic times, and thus, is rather evidently a server traffic issue. Personally this has ruined this game for me. Be advised if you intend to play this game in MP mode, it's liable to not launch at all if the traffic is sufficiently high at the time. If you're exclusively looking for single-player, this means nothing to you. lol
