MODERATORS
Hot take: Fallout 76 is actually an okay game. It's way better than either Fallout 3 or 4 and way way better than fucking starfield. it's got by far the best and most varied map of any Bethesda game and they were somehow able to sneak some somewhat decent and thematically worthwhile writing past whoever usually does the writing there. Sure it ain't much of an RPG but Bethesda hasn't made a game worth giving a shit about as an RPG since Morrowind anyway. Although I'm pretty sure the game has just gotten worse with updates especially after they added in NPCs with half-assed dialogue trees and quest lines that make no sense.
Disagree on the NPCs, the Wastelanders content is shockingly good, especially in comparison to Fallout 4. The companions were really cool as well—Bartender guy's voice acting (I played 76 like four years ago so fuzzy on names) was some of the best in the series.
Also my GOD the world design. Each biome is so atmospherically distinct and it makes the map feel that much bigger and more varied.
But yeah there's a surprisingly decent fallout experience in there for one or two playthroughs. Just gotta wade through all the live service bloat to get it
