No mods.
No NPCs.
No companions.
No pause button.
No offline play.
No save/restore.
No console.
No game at all when they decide to shut down the servers.
Thinking about it a little more, I think there’s going to be a much bigger problem than any of the above: nerfs.
Even if it’s not just a gankfest of foul-mouthed randos, the simple fact that it emphasizes PVP is going to produce frequent “game balance” updates that force you to change your play-style whenever someone comes up with a min-maxed buildout that lets them roflstomp your painstakingly-crafted homestead.
Clearly, the only way to play is in carefully-curated groups of
like-minded friends, so of course I expect them to make that hard to
do, and default to dumping you into public sewers servers.
