Are MMO and MMORPG the same?

MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) is the broad category for online games with huge player counts, while MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) is a specific type of MMO focused on character progression, quests, and fantasy settings, like World of Warcraft. All MMORPGs are MMOs, but not all MMOs are MMORPGs; other MMO genres include shooters (like PlanetSide 2) or strategy games. The key difference is the "RPG" element: stats, classes, leveling, and deep story/character building.

Why is Fallout 4 survival so hard?

Fallout 4 Survival mode is so hard because it adds crippling needs (hunger, thirst, sleep), removes quicksaves, disables fast travel, makes enemies much deadlier (you take 2x damage, deal same), increases legendary spawns, slows stimpack healing, and adds weight to ammo, forcing constant management, tactical planning, and slow, methodical progression instead of action-adventure. The early game is especially brutal until you establish bases, get better gear, and learn to exploit stealth and V.A.T.S.
