I haven't played the beta myself and neither has the writer of this article, but I'm really worried after reading this. He is mainly referring to the warning Bethesda issued about bugs and other "spectacular issues."

It's worrisome to me, on the eve of the Fallout 76 beta, to read an open letter from Bethesda that warns of not only bugs but other "spectacular issues" we may encounter within the game. It's not so much a PR note as an advance apology. It reminds me of Murray's letter to No Man's Sky fans just before that game launched. I wonder if Bethesda felt sick penning it.
I've just been dubious about this whole project since it was announced. An online-only Fallout game with no NPCs? A vast map, four times larger than Fallout 4′s? I would have loved to see a co-op option in Fallout 5, but this just doesn't sound true to the series at all. I hope I'm wrong. I'll dive into the beta this week to find out what I can.
