Generally the nms community is pretty friendly and inclusive.
It's one of the few games where women aren't too worried about their gender being known. Other players will still generally help you out or do nexus missions with you regardless. I've only ever been cussed out once by a sexist and after some other players heard about it there was some justice carried out. The greater community doesn't tolerate trolls or toxic players.
Im part of the facebook group and people are fairly friendly and helpful on it.
It's probably one of the least toxic gaming communities out there. I'm not surprised the community stepped up and helped the player out.
I take breaks from nms but I always come back. And it's in part due to the community.
I'm super looking forward to Light no Fire.
Hopefully the same vibe in the community.
