So after 6 years I finally decided to give it a try...You can not begin to understand my dissapointment when they first announced this game. I'm a die hard fan of the Fallout franchise...BeYOND die hard. It was my life and 76 crushed every bit of that passion....

Anyway, here we are...I've played it finally, and...it wasn't half bad! In all fairness, that's because of all the patches and additions ofcourse, making it feel more like an actual Fallout title.
And so I wandered through the Appalachian wasteland, built a CAMP, looted every house, shot some Ghouls, got wrecked by some Scorchbeasts all the while bumping jukebox classics from my Pipboy radio...yeah, it felt like home...I missed this. I hadn't played any Fallout title in 6 years thanks to this game. So, thank you...for fixing this game and rejuvenating my Fallout passion.

And so I've done about every mission there was to find in Appalachia. Took part in some events, daily challanges etc...And...I'm done with it I suppose. I still don't see the fun or purpose of online gaming. Repeating the same thing day after day after day for a lousy pay-off in the form of XP or some gear...No thank you...That's still something I absolutely hate about 76. It doesn't really feel like Fallout...As I was wandering I tried to be as immersed as possible till all of the sudden someone in a flamingo suit wearing sunglasses comes flying before me followed by a prancing rainbow colored BOS wearing idiot...Both leveled somewhere in the 4000?!!!!! Who does that?
When I finished my run I was at level 87...A joke to most...
But OK...I don't need the fanciest and shiniest weapon or glamorous armor. You do you...But for those reasons this game still lands at the bottom of the Fallout ranking.

Still had fun tho, but even with the patches and Wastelanders expansion, it's not really "Fallout", I consider it just a playground for people who aren't really built to play a actual Fallout game but just want to have fun with the mechanics.
