Still learning how to play Fallout 4. Can't play much because of life and get sick playing Fallout 4 so can't play as much as I want. In what little time I do play I finally tried to make a settlement. Something hit me. Settlement building is just like Minecraft. I never played Minecraft, but my son loves it. This reminds me of it.

You clear the area, gather resources and place objects and make buildings. So am I wrong in thinking settlement building is Minecraft?

No, albeit it is a simplified version of Minecraft in many aspects. In fact someone from Beth (probably Todd) mentioned how they were inspired by Minecraft, when making the settlement building, in an interview.

Yeah, it reminds of Minecraft... a game that I personally have never played.

I have to admit that I like building settlements despite the bugs. However, it takes a lot resources fortify a medium size settlement like Abernathy Farms. I am scratching my head about how to fortify Sanctuary since it is a pretty large settlement, but there are even larger settlements in the game.

I am currently at level 50 and that is primarily due to the fact that I have spent at least half the game scavenging for resources and stuff to sell to buy resources and ammo. The main story? I have yet to speak with Nick Valentine...

Todd Howard is in fact the person who did say he got the inspiration from Minecraft.

I mean, they both let you build things.

But no, its not really like minecraft

It's like mine craft but without mines

It's also like the sims but without sims

Or prison architect without prisoners
