Definitely. The most interesting part of the gameplay loop once you're familiar with the mechanics was the very start of a playthrough. Going from absolutely nothing to having a decent stash of food, weapons, an okay car and a safe place to sleep is where you have to leverage risks the most. Once settled, the only goal you had left is keep things running.

You couldn't really rebuild. This patch gives a reason to grind skills other than carpentry 9, electronics 1, and mechanics 3, and I'm all for it, honestly. B43 and B44 (where I assume NPCs will be added) are going to be amazing if this patch is a sign of things to come.

And that's the single player side of it. Getting a commune going with friends, with this much variety of important things to do, is going to make for interesting long term playthroughs.
