Things About Fallout 76 That Aren’t Terrible
Those Little Moments
Thankfully, the special game-defining moments of the Fallout series are still alive and well in 76. You can still discover a macabre scene in the basement of a family home, or uncover biting satire in the logs of a megacorporation’s computer.
You’ll have to wade through a deluge of unbalanced mechanics to become unencumbered enough to discover them… but they’re out there!
New gems, specific to the 76, are present as well; like looking out over a vista and seeing your very own CAMP in the distance. However fleetingly, it’s possible to feel more like a post-apocalyptic survivor in Fallout 76 than in other games in the series.
With the new survival mechanics, making a unique base or weapon can feel like a big deal. And often, rewarding moments in Fallout 76 come not from following the semblance of the main questline, but from successfully micromanaging your limited Stash Box.
