I guess I need to get this. I am a Fallout Fanboy, but avoided it due to bad press.

Question 1: Can a sneaky rifle / pistol / shotty only guy do everything in the game without power armor? Solo?

Question 2: (related to Q 1) Do I have to go Power Armor / two handed melee or heavy weapons like I see every streamer doing to be able to solo?

Question 3: Is base building a must? I disliked that aspect of F4. I am in it for combat, RPG elements and lore / story / atmosphere. I don't care if a camp is getting attacked unless it is crucial to my success.

Question 4: Is greifing bad in this game? I like the multiplayer aspect, but not the unwanted pvp. I want to treat this as a standard Fallout game where I can join up with people here and there. Is that possible?

1: Yes, you can. you don't need PA but it helps.
I don't think you can do end game content without PA but that shouldn't be a concern in the beginning. All the sneak attacks and scopes and damage multipliers are there to make a sneak build world

2: no, you don't. but it is effective and fun. everyone pumps STR for carry weight anyways, so using a melee weapon to save ammo is a nice benefit. I use a sledgehammer and it does so much damage with a charged sneak attack

3. no, base building isn't a must. however having a mobile camp with all your benches and turrets can be an effective tool when exploring a town. a mobile place to unload junk and kite high level things into (turrets) becomes very handy

id suggest just building a 2x2 square room with some crops, water, and a bed. go simple as heck.

4: there is no griefing. everyone is helpful.

I never wear PA, don't like the UI or clunky feel. but you need it to farm Nuke Sites and scorchbeasts(end game content)
