In the past few years there has been tons of vanity DLC content.
The story of the game is however left hanging.
Where did all the people go, can they be saved?
What happend to FNIX?
What happend with the russian invansion?
Perhaps we were never intended to to have an actual ending to any of this, we simply keep fighting. But I hope thats not the case, I hope will will get and actual ending with some closure. It’s been 5 years, the game is getting old, it’s time to finish telling the story.
I see no intention on the part of the developers to actively shape the story. With most updates, there are always a few additional items with text to collect on the map, but the story is not told interactively.
Unfortunately, the main part of the mechanics has a repetitive character by now and are probably more intended to tie the players down with time-consuming activities.
I fear that the game’s story development department has been cut back or even closed down completely.
Personally, I miss a few human NPCs skirmishing with the machines. There really don’t have to be many. It annoys me a little that the few human NPCs only park their butts in the bunkers, houses and caves.
And … I finally want to have my char sit down in armchairs, chairs or sofas, I want floors and roofs for my base building too - I would pay for that! xD
