    I’d like to call myself a fan of Bethesda studios. To make it clear: my gaming experience in the Fallout series starts from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and in TES – from Oblivion (I got my first PC at the time of release of the last one). I’m not a die-hard fan, but from these days I completed each game from the both of the series thoroughly, with the time passing and modding resourcesI’d like to call myself a fan of Bethesda studios. To make it clear: my gaming experience in the Fallout series starts from Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and in TES – from Oblivion (I got my first PC at the time of release of the last one). I’m not a die-hard fan, but from these days I completed each game from the both of the series thoroughly, with the time passing and modding resources growing and a new ways of playthrough appearing. Skyrim turns 7 years this November and I’m installing it on my PC once in a half of a year from the moment of its release, load with ton of mods and go on exploring again. Fallout 4 is on my hard drive from the day of release. There is no need to discuss other games in that review, but I want to mention my high appreciation of the games from the Dishonored, Doom, Prey and Wolfenstein series, released by the departments of your company.

    I’d like to call myself a fan of Bethesda studios. I mean, among the other studios you create a worlds that can engage a gamer for years. It’s an incredible work. I’m studying gamedev now and I know what I’m talking about. By the way I started to learn it also due to my childhood experiences taken in games including the works of yours. And furthermore, these worlds I mentioned allow gamer to build up his own unique experience using mods. This extends a living cycle and replayability of games a lot. But we have a thing there.

    You know it yourself about the bugs, glitches and gameplay problems of beta version, about the easiness of cheating, about lore, about the paper discs, about uninstalling the game, etc. I see no reason to write about it all, the other users and journalists done that for me already. All of these things could be forgiven and they would forgive.

    What is ruining the general impression of the game is total unoriginality and the fact that the game itself is not finished (even in the context of open beta version). It’s obvious that the game is always a profit-oriented product, but this time the profit looks like the only reason to make a game. You can see an indifference to the final quality of a product in many aspects such as animations, questing, fractions, crafting, graphics, PvP interaction (more on this later). You did a great job, but I’m sure you know it – to make a game on a quality level of your previous releases you must have done a 10 times better. Now it looks like Fallout 4 with a great fan-made multiplayer mode. You know exactly why – the game uses a huge percent of content and code directly from Fallout 4, that had its own visual and gameplay style after all. That is not a problem. The problem is that the remaining part of content made without the proper effort. I’d undoubtedly support a small team of modders made such mod for a single player game. This quality would be an unbelievable success. But not for Bethesda level of studios.

    The second problem is uncomplicated, absolutely non-challenging PvP and survival in multiplayer game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

    In this case the statement about support for mods sounded like an avoiding the responsibility for an incomplete final product. Something like “modders will improve, we provide the ground”. For now, after all the waves of hateful reviews, you probably see that it doesn’t work that way.

    Due to a very high target you had to hit I evaluate your work strictly comparing it with previous experience. I tried my best with beta, sessions of which took place in the dead of night in my country. And after participating I have to note with my regret that your decisions taken this time are wrong.

    Thanks for the beta. Now I assure that there is no sense in buying the game for now, until the serious update and improvement releases. Will these improvements be made by the studio or implemented by modders – time will show, but this game have to change greatly.

    I’d like to call myself a fan of Bethesda studios. But now I can’t.    … Expand

    If you love the Fallout series, avoid this game. This is Fallout 4 with its heart ripped out. No NPC's means no story. Ignore what the sheep try to tell you, a bunch of terminals and holotapes does not a story make. Collecting useless crap while you fight the same boring enemies who respawn ad nauseam does not a Fallout make. Avoid this abomination like the plague.

    Like the guy on **** said: Fallout 76 is a RUST clone with gameplay loop shallow quests and soulless story. It feels like this game was in developing before Fallout 4. This game making by the money of all who pre-ordered Fallout 4.

    -The world feels dead.
    -Quests that we are getting is from holo tapes. From dead people. Who cares then?
    -Stash is limited to 400. If you are someone who likes to store their items that they find. Not with this game, you are limited.
    -This feels like a lazy cash grab.
    -The controlls feel made for console. Not pc friendly.

    I've played at least 20 hours (Beta + Launch Day)
    I have been thoroughly enjoying this game. Exploration is one of my favorite parts about the Fallout series and the map has amazing new locations, scenery, and environments to explore. I am also enjoying the expanded crafting system for armor and weapons. The story has been pretty good up to this point.

    I have been thoroughly enjoying this game. Exploration is one of my favorite parts about the Fallout series and the map has amazing new locations, scenery, and environments to explore. I am also enjoying the expanded crafting system for armor and weapons. The story has been pretty good up to this point. Getting quests from Holotapes, Notes, or wandering into a location has not been bad at all. I am concerned I will miss Holotapes or Notes for quests though. I imagine it will get better as I dive in more. I've enjoyed both PvE and PvP. And I LOVE the graphics - a noticeable improvement since FO4 regardless of what detractors say. These are the same people who didn't care for FO4's graphics which were good at the time. They'll never be happy.

    There are some things that are frustrating though such as:
    1) Stash limit is VERY small and frustrating. I find myself over-encumbered constantly with no where to put junk or items because my stash is already full. I get that everything having weight is a part of the realism...but it shouldn't be so strenuous and time consuming to deal with. And a larger stash (double if not triple the size) would alleviate this.
    2) Bugs are prevalent at launch. The one that is MOST frustrating has to do with the Social menu. Adding folks as friends or to your team can just not work sometimes...and that ruins the biggest part of the game. I've also gotten to a point in the main question where I need to kill someone annnnd I can't seem to get him to respawn after another player already killed him.
    3) PvP is fun...but i accidentally shot someone's CAMP and I immediately became wanted. The subsequent chase and killing I endured were hilarious. But the punishment did not meet the crime.
    4) Vendors have been crap thus far. I haven't seen them replenish inventory/caps once since the Beta began ANNND that is annoying as crap because it is a primary way to rid myself of inventory. This leads back to the Stash/over-encumbrance issue.
    5) NPCs...obviously there aren't any and it makes for a different kind of game. It can feel a bit empty at times. Holotapes and such do well to fill this void but I do miss walking into an NPC city with numberous vendors and stories.
    6) CAMP building limit is awfully low and frustrating for someone who pumped 500+ hours in Fallout 4 due to settlement building.

    Highly recommend playing this game if you are a fan and veteran of the Fallout series for the same reasons I am. But if you are looking for a traditional Fallout experience or it is your first time - Play FO:NV, FO3, and FO4. THEN consider getting this afterwards and I think you will enjoy it. If you are looking for a PvP game...this may become one in time but for now the Workshops/PvP hasn't flushed out as people are just exploring/questing/leveling.    … Expand

    Fix the stash box size/the amount of items we can store and this game would be a solid 8. By linking the vendors all to the same cap pool and having the cap pool be very small most of the time you can't sell your excess junk and weapons.

    IMHO, this is a giant new Fallout game in which I have forfeited VATS for the opportunity to finally play Fallout with friends.

    I'm loving it. I know people had tons of expectations for it, and that there's been a massive bandwagon against it, but whatever -- I'm having a blast playing it, and that's what matters in the end. Comparisons to Rust abound, but I prefer FO:76 vastly.    IMHO, this is a giant new Fallout game in which I have forfeited VATS for the opportunity to finally play Fallout with friends.

    It's not a "skin," it's Fallout, warts and all. Everything I've done so far has felt like FO4, which I realize some people don't like, but that's their prerogative.

    Please, don't pay mind to these bloated, pathetic creatures saying "THIS IS THE WORST F****** GAME OMG BETHESDA WHERES FALLOUT 5."

But they don't have jobs or hygiene or friends outside of their mothers and the legion of trolls with whom they shack up every night on the internet.

This results in constant skipping of holotapes - the ONLY acted contribution to an otherwise empty game. This is to say nothing of the animation issues - monsters sometimes don't animate at all, and just slide around in fixed sprite position like chess pieces. Other times, gun renderings will have them holding their weapons at a bizarre angle, etc.

All of the new creatures in the game are very cool, they even have some returning ones from previous games. The building system is a blast and a very good feature for the game. There are plently of quests and events that will keep you busy and entertained. I myself am level 38 as of writing this and I still have piles and piles of quests to do. There are also a bunch of factions that you can join in this game and receive some really cool gear from, eventually Bethesda will add faction based PVP as well. Speaking of adding new things, Bethesda has already said they will continue to add more content into the game. All DLCs are said to be free content, and that is a very good thing for this game.

    Incompetent doesn't do this justice. Every system in this game is broken and unplanned. I'll explain why but please understand, you are not just getting a game 'different' from the Fallout franchise, you are getting an abomination of game-design that happens to have a Fallout skin. Vault-boy and retro-futurism, stimpaks, psychos and iguana-on-a-stick. That's the ONLY way you can call thisIncompetent doesn't do this justice. Every system in this game is broken and unplanned. I'll explain why but please understand, you are not just getting a game 'different' from the Fallout franchise, you are getting an abomination of game-design that happens to have a Fallout skin. Vault-boy and retro-futurism, stimpaks, psychos and iguana-on-a-stick. That's the ONLY way you can call this a Fallout game. Fallout 76 has no idea what it is.

    1) No humans - what does this mean? A LOT is the answer.
    - No dialogue (all NPCs are robots, or can't be talked to). Takes a toll on RP
    - No quests have any choices, they all have the same result. You go to a place and you kill them all because they're different, and do the action you're required to do.
    - All quests are from robots or holotapes. You just press E on them and wait a minute, or activate a holotape. No personality, and no motivation to complete a quest. A voiceline is this: you are just being asked to do an action somewhere and being subjected to the horrible lore fluff.
    - All humans are players: Players do not even come CLOSE to covering the role of human NPCs in previous games. They always play without sound, and the way the game is made, the only reaction you can have to meeting someone is "oh there's a guy". That's literally all.

    2) Empty world, empty lore
    - Bethesda says 4 times as large, I say 4 times as sparse. Everything is far apart and is NOT more rich than New Vegas' map for instance
    - Exploring without a quest is pointless, you can loot an entire facility and find nothing of use, there's no big reward for clearing a building. The odds of picking up a quest are abysmal as well, you learn to not enter any building that doesn't have a questpointer.
    - A map has so few players that you can play a whole day without meeting anyone. If you go to Flatwoods you'll see 2-3 people, but otherwise don't count on it.
    - Game is filled with lore fluff that has no purpose. Only 1/5 terminals serve a purpose, the rest are filled with stupid lore that has no bearing on impact. In previous games you learned about the location, maybe found something you could apply to find a stash or solve a problem, but here it's utterly useless.
    - No ultimate objective: Remember how we purified the Capital Wasteland's water? Remember bringing peace to a war-torn Mojave? Forget that, you are doing favors for robots in Fallout76, there's no endgoal or build-up, JUST a stream of kill/retrieve quests until you can't take it anymore.

    3) Bad gameplay
    - Perks are even worse than Fo4 where they already botched it completely. First of all, the interface is confusing beyond belief, you apparently select a s.p.e.c.i.a.l point and then get to scroll around and choose which perk you want. The perks however are complete RNG and you can end up not being able to level up how you want to. I went with intelligence for hacking and energy weapons, but only got Hacking 2 at level 23. In old Fallout, each point did something specific. In Fo76 however, taking a mentats is a mystery, special points by themselves don't appear to do something specific except for strength with weight capacity. Second big thing, being an intelligence main for example is not viable at all. You get some bonuses to weapon condition and weapon-modding, but no bonus-damage like strength/perception perks or anything like that. If you go full int, you can just mod weapons slightly more (not much) and _eventually_ hack complicated terminals. Like I said, after maxing int, it was in level 23 I could hack the next level above what int 1 can.
    - PvP is a joke, all players are visible on the map at all times, and if you shoot someone they take 5% damage only. You are then given a bounty, nobody is visible to you anymore and players do full damage to you. People can effortlessly fast-travel close to you and kill you. PvP is one big standoff to see who's dumb enough to shoot first, and then 1-shotting the other player instantly. You only drop junk and a couple caps btw, so the enemy runs at you again with his full inventory still available. The thing that made me uninstall was a guy whose whole strategy was wearing a powerarmor, running close to you, and VATSing to oneshot you. He stimmed endlessly and couldn't be killed.
    - You will be overencumbered every 20 minutes and need a workbench or stashcrate, which WILL run out
    - Scorched and mutants are everywhere in groups and all have guns

    Important: you will see people defend this game. Understand that these are people with a raging boner for the fallout aesthetic and nothing else. If they get to open it up and eat buffout and shoot brahmin, they will love it and die for it. If you like this game and convince 1 person to buy it, I genuinely hate you. It takes LSD-overdose-levels of hallucination and delusion to like this game and fill in the blanks the game leaves. Just being open to RPing the setting is not enough by a HUGE margain. Steer clear at all costs.    … Expand

    This game is missing what makes Fallout a standout series. Was very disappointed by the lack of any real story or NPCs. Graphics were fine but just felt like another generic survival multiplayer which there are already plenty of.

    The ire directed at Fallout 76 is misguided, the game is different from other Fallout titles however it is an enjoyable coop experience. The only thing I can imagine is most 0 reviews are because those individuals are to odious to actually enjoy talking and playing with other human beings.

    Most of these bots are just repeating what other people said, probably haven't even played the game. i have played the game and it is actually good. There is a reason there is no npcs if you would just look at a terminal or 2 EVERYONE DIED or was turned into crazed ghouls, i think this negative review spam is just unnecessary and most of these repeat obvious spam reviews should be deleted.

    Bethesda is just milking more money from Fallout 4. Same mechanics, same engine. And it’s online only, no npcs. They couldn’t include this with Fallout 4 so they decided to sell it later without a single player experience.

People have wanted multiplayer Bethesda games for a long time. This is the first time we've got one (Yes I am aware of ESO, I played it, but that's made by Zenimax and is barely faithful to the Elder Scrolls world). BethesdaI'll start quite simple.

This is the first time we've got one (Yes I am aware of ESO, I played it, but that's made by Zenimax and is barely faithful to the Elder Scrolls world). Bethesda have created a beautiful and atmospheric world that we can explore together, and they plan to keep adding to it for FREE. The microtransactions are cosmetic only and OPTIONAL.

    A lot of people are complaining about the survival aspects. It was ADVERTISED as being more about survival than previous games. If people didn't pay attention to that well that's their problem.

    People also complain about the lack of human NPCs. Yes it can be a bit jarring coming from games where people are everywhere you look, but we're overlooking one key fact. Fallout 76 is chronologically the earliest Fallout game to date. A lot of the Vaults from which people appeared to settle the wasteland are still sealed. It makes sense that there aren't any people about. They survived on the surface in a hostile world for a while, but radiation and other problems have taken their toll. Bethesda have said they will update the game supposedly "forever". Who's to say we won't start seeing NPCs appear as time goes on, as Vault Dwellers begin to settle the wasteland. This game will live or die on its player base. It's up to US to rebuild. The dwellers of Vault 76 are the first to emerge.

    The crafting and camp system for me are fantastic, letting us claim our own corner of Appalachia. If you enjoy survival, enjoy roleplaying or just enjoy shooting things in the face, this game has something for you. Don't let the whining of people who didn't bother to research what they were buying put you off this amazing game.    … Expand

    It's acceptable, I don't know how else to describe this game.

    Bethesda wanted to try something new, and that's very okay. I just don't think using an established IP to do so was all that wise.

    The lack of NPC's is felt, and you feel it fast. For all the jokes about Preston Garvey's quest system, at least he was there. You could interact in any way you saw fit. Here, you're just finding about stories for those who've come before, and it gets stale incredibly quickly.

    If you were on the fence already about this game, don't buy it. However, keep an eye on it for the future, see what Bethesda is planning before you bite the bullet.

    Holotapes and Notes worked reasonably well in the other Fallout games as they were side content, there for you to stumble upon at random. The main content was filled with NPC's, allowing the repetition of some quests (Eg, Prestons) to take a short while longer to set in before you recognize it. In Fallout 76, the game feels like filler, as nothing of true importance actually happens. The player is an observer, not a catalyst. And that, is what kills this game for me, and i'm sure many others.

    Nothing matters, the Game.    … Expand

    They didnt have to hire all these voice actors or program a lot of AI , or even really do much to the story. It is a very lazy cash grab and nothing more. the game is shallow and has no soul, it's a pew pew game with the same chores over and over with no cool or interesting NPCs ( no NPCs at all actually)...

    If this was $20 I would tolerate but selling a multiplayer mode for $60 that uses almost all the assets from fallout 4 and hardly any of its own is ridiculous.. I dont know whats up with devs lately , it seems it's not about making great games anymore but to make a quick buck. . Gaming is no longer about pleasing the customer, it's about customers pleasing the companies only.

    Fallout 76 - Named for the vault you come out of at the start of the game.

    The game starts you off easy, you're handed some gear and some perk cards - if you actually use your eyes and remember to pick stuff up that is, you can easily manage to leave the vault without perk cards, and without some other useful stuff, and you can also easily miss the gear- as it should be. Don't know how    Fallout 76 - Named for the vault you come out of at the start of the game.

Don't know how to use your eyes? You better learn, this is Fallout.

    For the first many levels of the game you can easily use melee against all opponents, although I quite enjoy guns so I tend to hoard several and use them depending on the situation.

    The gunplay is your standard Fallout gunplay very much reminiscent of previous Fallout games, albeit the V.A.T.S. system no longer pauses the game completely, but slows it down so you have an opportunity to select your target. Targetting specific limbs however now requires a perk, and as such the old Concentrated Fire perk has been remodded.

    The crafting system is very much like the one found in Fallout 4, albeit with a few modifications, but it's fairly easy to work with. It does have some issues for example if you've made a blueprint of your house/shack/camp and then move the camp it will sometimes split the blueprint into several smaller blueprints. However if you just delete these (store the pieces) you can redeploy your blueprint at 0 cost. I'm sure this will be fixed in time, as this worked fine during the BETA.

    Some of controls do show signs of having been influenced by console development, but I find this to be a minor issue for the most of the time. I do however wish that developers would stop being lazy when it comes to this, because that is what it is, being lazy.

    The quests I have done so far have been engaging for the most part. You do occasionally feel the lack of HUMAN NPC's but you will find plenty of robots, ghouls, scorched, supermutants etc. There are also still roaming NPC traders, such as a lvl 50 supermutant whose name I can't remember, but he had some nice stuff.

    Unlike alot of people I don't find Appalachia to be much emptier than the Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3 or Nevada of Fallout New Vegas. There is plenty of stuff to see and do, plenty of monsters to kill and lots of loot to be had.

    There is still plenty of lore items to be found in the form of computers that has to be hacked and give hints to places where stuff can be found, along with a metric ****ton of holo tapes, some of whom can be quite fun to listen to. It's true the lack of NPC's means you don't have those long conversations anymore, but I don't feel like it detracts as much as others have mentioned.

    As mentioned the game starts you off easy to begin with, but don't go too much out your way to explore too far east without leveling, as the enemies suddenly get much stronger the farther out from Vault 76 you get.

    The PVP element is EASILY avoidable. Don't want to fight a player that is "griefing" you? block him, fast travel/run away or log off. You will get a new server when logging back in. At the moment your character disappears instantly when you leave the server, so there is no risk of being killed if you log off. Furthermore, the only thing you drop on death is whatever junk you're carrying, this is not EVE Online where you don't leave home with what you can't afford to lose.
    Also wanted players are easy to hunt down and kill as PVP is normalized, however bear in mind that powerarmor can be a pain to get through, and if the player is far with his stimpaks it can't be a long fight. Don't be afraid to invite random people to a team if there is a wanted player around, it makes it easier to kill them.

    The only critical problem I have with the game at the moment is the serious lack of storage space in your personal stash. Fallout has always encouraged a hoarder mentality, and the lack of storage severely hampers this at the moment.

    Alot of people have mentioned "bad graphics", I really don't have any issues here, my laptop runs the game at Ultra preset and it plays completely fine at a decent average FPS and it looks great.
    Yes it's an old engine, yes it has some bugs in it, but no it doesn't run worse than alot of other AAA games out there.

You can just roam the whole map and loot and discover stuff, and boy, there is loads of stuff to discover. Multiplayer works very nice, i love to team up with strangers or friends. Grieving is none-existent right now.

    People who are used to the Fallout singleplayer games might have problems with this title though. The only reason for this is, that there are no human npcs. All humans are players. If you don't embrace that it might feel "empty". Thats an illusion though. Because of people being upset about it, it might have been a bad decision by Bethesda to do it like that, but the game is amazing. A real singleplayer game done in multiplayer and its full of content. Just no babbling human skinned NPCs, but its still story rich and huge, full of stuff to do.

    Just make sure you like to play with others, this is the biggest part of the fun in this world. I can't stop playing alone too, though.    … Expand

    The good:
    - huge world to explore (doesn't feel empty at all, lots of "life" in it)
    - the atmosphere
    - no NPCs (but most players i see act like badly scripted NPCs anyway)

    The not so good:
    - dated engine (looks decent in 4K, 1080ti SLI, but lots of low-rez textures and lack of modern post-processing effects, Bethesda should have borrowed REDengine or at least Dunia for this title)
    - the storage space !!!

    So yeah, i love exploring it so far. Might not be as good as modded FNV or F4, but i'll take it.    … Expand

    This game plays like a sandbox MMO and manages to do it very well. Its not for everyone (See all the individuals upset that this isn't New Vegas 2 or a Single player RPG) but if you're a fan of the Fallout game play loop with a light MMO vibe, this game is very addicting.

    While Fallout in name this is definitely not the single player Fallout experience you're used to. Instead of dialogue tree's largely feeding you the story, you as the player are dropped into a largely NPC void world pushed into digging up the story behind mysteries and events that take place in this game through Holotapes, Notes, Terminals, and the occasional Robot NPC. If you've played through Darksouls or Bioshock, its very similar.

    The progression system is more indepth than that of Fallout 4 and i'd consider it a major improvement. In Fallout 4 there was no thought behind your choices. You could end up with any and all skills as well as maxed out specials at some point during your play time. With Fallout 76 you are limited in how many special points you may place which limits how many perk cards you can take depending your point allocation. This promotes building a character to fill a specific role which is something that was sorely missed from previous Fallout titles.

    The world is expansive and beautiful. My major issues with Fallout games of the past was the limited biomes in each game. 76 manages to change things up with multiple different location biomes that show off varying color pallets and themes as you explore them making it very easy to get lost in the world provided to you.

    Free DLC! Yep, Bethesda will be supporting the game with free DLC for its entire life cycle! Which is always a welcome thing to see in a gaming universe that is now seemingly dominated with Triple A titles selling players cut content in the form of DLC.

    This game DOES have flaws. While it is most definitely fun to play and a great time, this game is host to a few issues you should be made aware of.

    This game is clearly a console port done pretty poorly. It lacks a lot of features and options in the client that are pretty common place in most PC games which forces you to play around with your INI file to solve most of them. That being said, not all options can be solved with the INI. Push to talk being a feature that makes sense just not being in the game.

    This is a Bethesda title. Meaning its plagued by some of the same issues you'd expect from a Bethesda title. Like their game engine tied to FPS, or various performance hitches in crowded areas of the map. While some of this can be fixed while adjusting your INI it doesn't solve all problems and can definitely be a pain in the butt.

    For what its worth this IS a good game. However if you're looking for your typical single player Fallout this is not going to be it but again that doesn't make this game bad.

    This game is an easy 7 1/2 or an 8. However, i'm giving it a 10 to help counteract the four chan brigade hitting this game with 0's because they're upset that the game isn't New Vegas 2.    … Expand

That whole CAMP construction thing has huge potential in MP. The presence of other players can either be ignored, it may make it more difficult to delve into the story or become a great improvement. All depends on persons attitude. Dunno whether it was intentional or not but it feels like thankfully the BETA and early revs filtered out all the most invasive trolls. The main story and side quests intended for SP provide that already known and recognized Bethesda level quality. The replacement of NPCs with robots, holotapes etc. may seem like a downgrade but in fact isn't as impactful as I thought. Theres a lot of MP oriented randomly generated events. After few sessions Im having a great time and it feels like the best things are yet to be explored. All in all it seems that this project has a huge potential. Some other minor bugs still occur, but rly dont get all the early review bombing it gets. This has nothing to do with objectivism. It clearly shouldnt be rated below good/average when compared to other top RPGs available on the market now.

I find it a bit amazing that I had my expectations set so incredibly low, and yet Bethesda still managed to disappoint me with the PC version of FO76.

    To be quite honest, there IS a lot of potential to FO76. Despite the crap performance, the bugs, and the soul sucking UI which makes you question your life choices after a couple hours, I'm still finding enjoyment playing with friends. That being said, this game deserves an awful review currently due to the state they released it in.

Its a company, and it owes you nothing. I have been a fan of Bethesda since i was 8 years old, and I personally quite like this game, it is a cozy Bethesda title with none of the problems with bad writing that have plagued their last few games, namely Fallout 4 and Skyrim, with the majority of quests I have done thus far in 25 hours of BETA and the last two days of the released product being well written and delivering the story well. There isn't any ludo-narrative dissonance like plagued Fallout 4, and the lack of NPCs is a good thing, as Fallout 4s NPCs were boring and forgettable and, personally, I would rather have nothing than something actively detrimental to my experience with the game the way that dealing with Preston Garvey was. This is a Spinoff game, not Fallout 5. Remember that Fallout has had spinoffs before, and if Brotherhood of Steel on the Xbox couldn't kill the franchise when it was in a vulnerable state, then Fallout 76 is not going to kill it when it is insanely popular. It sickens me to see so many fans of Bethesda's games trashing their newest one simply because it is different. Do you want 15 more Skyrim Rereleases?

    The game is not perfect and currently I would say "just for fans", if Bethesda fixes the issues the community requested during B.E.T.A. (stash, dof) I'm pretty sure it will be able to find new fans.

This is unacceptable behavior on the part of Bethesda, this is an unacceptable condition game that needs a minimum of another year in the oven and some actual anti cheat mechanisms before anyone, yes *anyone*, gives this game a 10, should give this game higher then a 0. It fails to do everything an online game NEEDS to do before allowing people into the same lobby with one another. By playing this game you put your IP address at risk of DDOS by anyone with basic understanding, your time at risk of the whim of cheaters, and your joy in constant risk of the whim of cheaters. Shame on those of you giving this game a 10, it shouldn't even have been released in this condition. On top of all of that say you got to try the game in the beta(1 month before release isn't a beta it's an early show) by a friend giving you a key, congrats F:76 is going to hold GIGS of your hard drive hostage until you pay Bethesda for your key just to uninstall it or the person who gave you the key puts their own account at risk by giving others access to a private account because they didn't have the basic decency to allow said players to uninstall the game. All of that is why I say shame on the people giving this, to be blunt, garbage a 10. This thing shouldn't even be *allowed* on the market in the current state and, again to be blunt, scam-like beta practices.

    Edit: As of now the current methods of encryption are not entirely clear, the methods used are not up to, speaking metaphorically, code. There's different forms of encryption going on at different times, all statements about cheaters are extremely valid however Bethesda did do at least some effort to encrypt important things some of the time. As of now your IP could leak but is less likely to then it initially looked, that said there are still ways to derive it and many people who want to pretend it's not an issue. This is still a major issue in an ONLINE only game. To those saying there are no bugs, you're a liar. To those saying there isn't more risk of cheaters in this game, you're a liar or delusional. By appearances packets used can be easily forged and due to the engine used people who would do such are ahead of the pack compared to other titles. That said there's day one mods for the UI which is a direct security risk of wallhacks along with other nefarious means, it's better then it had looked but it's still unacceptable condition for an online game. All of that said, good job Bethesda for doing the minimum effort to stop people from getting leaked IPs. Before the game even was "released" people found ways to cheat and support cheating, there can be mod support or strong anti cheat and they really can't have it both ways in this case. They can allow mods, as an example, that hook into the UI and change things or they can disallow such things because of the ease of adapting cheats to such methods, they can't have it both ways.    … Expand
