Will never happen. Bethesda would sue the asses of the devs off..

DiSh:
There's a way to reduce the perceived need for alting dramatically.

First, make sure characters have decent ways to make caps (even solo and low level) regardless of how they're oriented (combat, crafting etc.)

Second, add in some sort of automated trading system.

This way, when people need something they can't make themselves, they can obtain it from the player market, rather than having an alt craft it.

I realize it's already theoretically possible to get stuff you need from other players, but these changes would turn that theoretical possibility into a viable alternative.

It's not possible to make a "easy way" for solo players and a "harder way" for group-players, as the group players would simply use the solo-way in a group.

Roachor:
Just wanted to point out that the new crafting system makes it impossible to play solo unless you made a crafter char as you can't get even the most basic weapons on your own. Buying them from vendors also requires you have cash, which you'd get from killing things so in the beginning isn't an option. Also crafting small guns requires science and repair at 80 for the lowest level weapons and as neither of those skills have to be high enough to tag this means grinding until lvl 8-9 to just be able to make a gun and shoot with it. So yeah, new crafting makes alts completely necessary to progress.

I don't know what's your problem with it? It's fine now.
You earn money in the early levels by unpacking the boxes in hub, or shoveling brahmin crap. I made it to level 2/nearly 3 with a few quests just in 2 hours and I didn't kill any enemy yet (except of 2 rats). Also have 900 caps on my bank account. Gathered material from random encounters (which is great) and crafted myself a few basic items. Lucky me I took small guns, science and repair as tagged skills, so I won't have that much of a problem with crafting. Imo it's great.

What you want, as Lexx already said, is a Jack of All Trades Character. And I'm glad that it's not possible to make one.
