There are dozens of you!

Well, now we are two. Fo76 never disappointed me. Though I did wonder if they were crazy for focusing so much on PvP early on in a game so clearly unbalanced.

Though I wish they could have exanded the map a bit. Once everything was explored and the original main campaign was beat, I lost interest. Tried the new main campaign too, introducing NPCs, but the quests just took me to the same old places, and was thematically uninteresting and didn't fit the world. BoS was better, but again theres a limit to how often I want to enter the few same buildings to find a quest item.

I’m with you. 95% of my enjoyment came from playing co-op with my childhood best friend (using discord for voice chat) who I had fallen out of contact with. When we encountered the (many) bugs, we had a good laugh and kept on going.

The 5% that actually came from gameplay? Hmm… Faschnacht was always a hoot. Creative camp builds was also a highlight (basically fallout 4 base building, but other humans actually get to appreciate your creation).

I tried picking up the game on PS5 recently and without the social piece it just seemed like an insurmountable grind (ex. how do I get the mutations I want for a fresh account? How long will it take to unlock backpack space again?)

Still, due to circumstances, co-op FO76 ended up being one of my top 5 gaming experiences in my last 40 years of video games.
