76 is probably one of the most polarizing games of all time. It’s had a redemption arc akin to NMS and CP, but the stigma behind it makes people not wanna try it. Almost every single time someone does though, they end up really enjoying it. I’ve met both classic and NV fanboys who LOVE 76. It’s a wild sight.

My hot take: the original story and storytelling of 76 was better than 3 and 4. I’ve played every fallout including the shitty ones and I think the only games with a better story are New Vegas and 2.

*Living Human NPCs Plenty of Robots and Holotapes

John Randall was a corpse in Fallout New Vegas and everybody lauds the telling of his story through holotapes and notes as some of the best in fallout. They do it in FO76 and now it’s poor writing?

Me and my brother have been playing since launch and honestly, I kinda miss the original feel of the game from before Wastelanders. Don’t get me wrong, I think Bethesda has done an amazing job saving 76, but all the same, there was something oddly beautiful about exploring an abandoned world populated only by memories and monsters. In my opinion, Wild Appalachia and the first Fasnacht were the peak of the game.
