Fallout 76 (lemmy.world)

I signed up and played 76 after the first release—you know, the one with only like 3 humans.

It was my favorite experience. Empty, beautiful, peaceful and very exciting. The ambient music is my favorite of the whole series and it really set the tone.

I liked the feeling that you and a few other people online were the only real human survivors and the bots and mutants were the only things left in the world.

That changed after people complained… I quit after some changes were made. I logged in recently and now it’s full of generic NPCs and bullet sponge enemies. Not for me anymore.

I guess I’ll never be able to go back to that feeling right after release. It really was something else.

Anybody else play the game right after it was released?

The world space, the environment, and the look of the whole map is, in my opinion, one of the best in the series. But everything else just feels pretty forgettable. One of my main gripes would probably be the whole, this a multiplayer game but it honestly does not feel like one. You could hop on for an afternoon and still miss others.

I played it for just a few hours. I recall that I stopped after killing a few roaches as part of a quest, but I stopped and thought to myself, “Wait… why am I doing this? What’s my goal?”. I was over an hour in and honestly couldn’t tell you, so I dropped it. Then later they made it free to play, so that was money well spent on my part.

Ah I feel you. Is that feeling different from other Fallout games? I’m trying to remember, but I think you kill a radroach as your first enemy in a few (Fallout 1, Tactics, Fallout 3).

I did. I loved it.

I don't like the hollow feeling the npcs give the world. It was empty but full.of mystery.

Now it's generic in a lot of ways.

But, there is hope through server emulation.

I am sure the old version will come back some day.

I would love to play the old version somehow. If there’s an option to disable the Wastelanders update, I would be back online.
