Returning player questions: should I make a new character? Is my Whitespring house safe?

I read the returning player guide and the patch notes left me with a few questions.

Do you think enough changes have happened that it warrants just leveling a new character? I was level 88 and had completed all content as of December last year.

Also, I have a house on the golf course. I hear that's not allowed anymore - if my house is still there does that mean it's ok where it is? Is it just that if I move my CAMP I can't place it there again?

If you really are lvl 88 I would keep that character, yes there's a massive amount of new content but most of it is preferably better to do with a high lvl character. And about the house, there's always a new spot that will call your attention, look around the beautiful post nuclear Appalachia and seek the best spot, if you think you're good were you are, just do some new stuff to your base, that never comes bad.

Enjoy the game because we're about to see great changes with wastelanders, I know it's delayed but I have faith that on maybe 20th January 2020 we'll be able to say hi to our npc folks.

It will have moved you if it wasn't okay. If it's still there then you're good. Do you need to know about any other additions? I have a copy/paste available. A lot of users find it helpful

I wouldn't mind reading it if it's not any trouble. I know there's a lot of stuff but I'm not really sure where to get started.

Gonna give you a list of things you missed. This is a copy paste message and may not be applicable to the questions asked. Reply and I'll go into detail on things if you want

March is when they actually started improving the game, from Nov-Feb it was only bug fixes and a boring world. Not listing things in any order, you missed:

two weeklong holiday events (minor addition)

alcohol crafting with daily quests (minor addition)

a camera for taking quicker pictures (minor addition)

New faction and questline with backpack reward (large addition)

Sheepsquatch questline with unique weapon reward and side quests, two repeatable events (major addition)

Small dungeon with quest (small addition)

Large dungeon with repeatable event (large addition)

Player Vending Machines (small addition)

Nuclear Winter game mode with 51 other players in a battle Royale scenario with special cosmetic rewards (major addition)

Special vendor that gives random Legendaries in exchange for other Legendaries (small addition)

Vault Raid which gives guaranteed armor rewards with unique set bonuses (major addition)

Display cases for your camp which allows you to place items so visitors can view them (minor addition)

Basically I put either small, large, or major for what these updates added to the game. However, that's only in terms of content. For example I would say player vending and the legendary vendor were bigger adds than say vault raids or the Arktos Pharma dungeon. Still a buggy game though, but that's what Bethesda is. Wastelanders will be like a chapter 2 with a supposedly different feel but it's coming out early next year

I got you my guy, no trouble. It's just the content updates, none of the QoL stuff. There's been some interesting changes with those, including reworking the interiors of multiple locations

Whitespring is still a popular nuke site so be prepared to log out when there is a launch targeting your homestead. OTW have fun.

Luckily it's just far away enough that I can walk into the blast zone but it never gets hurt.
