fallout 76

anyone else playing?

I've found it surprisingly addictive. I know it was a flop when first launched, but I think it must have come a long way.

The community is lovely. I don't use a mic or chat as I don't really want to do the social side. but running into other players on there is usually quite a pleasant experience. I normally just wave back at them. There seems to be a big pay it forward ethos.

whilst being a low level, players have helped me out, showing me what needs doing in some events,(I stumbled into an event and was quite clueless as to what the hell was going on)
others have left gifts for me, plans, guns ammo, food. Lots of players leave massive stashes in suitcases around the game for others to find.

if you end up as wanted, by doing something minor by accident, it makes playing quite annoying. another player will probably come and kill you, to remove your wanted status, then leave you a gift for when you respawn.

The game can be glitchy, and sometimes the need to grind for supplies takes time away from the quests.

I love open world games so love just exploring then going back to the main story line.

My pay it forward so far has been leaving starter bags at the entrance of vault 76, of my no longer needed low level armor and a gun, plus water and food.

just read the one and only other thread on about fallout 76. Not sure how bad it use to be but there are loads of NCPs in the game now.

I am currently deciding whether I am leveled enough to be able to do the quests to recuit an allie for my camp.

Just an update.

I'm still playing, and have run up 700 hours on the game!Blush

I have eased off it a bit now, but they keep adding new content, and I like building in the game too. The community is still lovely and helpful.

Be nice to chat to other MNers about it.

I'd like to get this game, love the other fallouts but was put off by this one being online. Might have to give it a go sometime.

I'm a solo player but have found I have gradually become more sociable. There is no text chat, I don't use a mic either. You can ignore other players very easily.

As soon as you hit level 5 turn on pacifist mode. 98% of player don't do PvP but once in a blue moon you will find an idiot, but pacifist means they can't do anything to you or your C.A.M.P

The only place that is still PvP is if you take over a public workshop, but again 7 out of 10 times it's been fine.

I have 3 characters and everytime I have walked out of the vault a high level play has soon found me, they use a gift emoji then look at their pip boy (a short while) then a bag appears and they shoot it to get you to look at it. in the bag is usually things like food, water, stims, radaway, weapons, armour, plans. if this happens just take it, and give the a heart emoji to say thanks, then they'll probably wave and run off.

The game is beautiful and will have lots of familiar things in if you've played other fallout.

I say don't rush to level up, enjoy exploring and the reading stuff you find and listening to holotapes, the history is emotional and moving. as well as illuminating as to why things are the way they are.

There is essentially 2 main story lines now.

One of the stories is Wastelanders and was released in April 2020. it added Human NPC into the game. Humans are returning to the west Virginia area.

The original one is were you follow the overseer path. When the overseer first left the vault there were no NPC so no humans left. So sometimes seems odd as its referred to no one being around, whilst you are surrounded by NPCs

if you play on Xbox the game is free on Xbox pass.

PS the Map is not in your pipboy anymore. Grin
