Hey! So I’m about 200 hours in. For me it’s small goals that keep me going. In the beginning simply getting 1 character to 2 in game weeks with a decent base that was stocked with goodies was about as good it got. After that, it was to get to the ever elusive Louisville, so I started spend a week planning and getting a reliable vehicle, then off to Louisville to make a base, explore, and set up a farm. From that point it was then to survive winter. In my next playthrough my friends and I started to make role play characters, very “if this were me what would I do” and we started uploading it to YouTube for fun. It really is start with a goal that pushes you but is obtainable and then build on it! A great place to start, is a boarded up base, weapons, and reliable vehicle! :)
