I'll be hopping in when they add that new region to the game later this year, but there's plenty of other fallout games to get through before then
the game is pretty decent now, the addition of NPCs into the world and a lot of QoL changes have made a big difference.
Kudos to Bethesda for sticking with the game- other publishers would have killed it before it got the chance to improve.
Yeah, totally. The team stuff is all based around hop-in hop-out world event type stuff.
I can't believe now they've released an update they've finally got more than 3 players /s
Hopefully the game is actually in a better state now than it was at launch. It's annoying it had such a bad launch but if they made a good game out of it that's something at least.

Amazon just gave it out for free to every prime member, it's a free play weekend game, and the show just came out. I would hope its engagement went up!
lol yes, the promotion designed to increase engagement is probably a key factor in the increased engagement
I bought the $19 version on sale on Xbox and jumped in this week for the first time. The show effect is working.
I'd say the TV show is doing more to boost engagement than the Prime giveaway, especially since Prime is only giving it out on platforms where Game Pass already exists. Lots of games are given away for free on Prime/Epic/whatever and it doesn't really move the needle on their engagement. But FO76 is having a similar uptick that TLOU did when that show was airing. The Prime giveaway certainly doesn't hurt, but FO76 was already pretty accessible on Xbox and PC.

Yeah. That is mostly how I played it and I played it before NPCs came back. Personally I preferred it before NPCs came back but I don't know how they would keep expanding on story without NPCs coming back. The base/original story was Bethesda story telling at its best, through environment and notes. The NPCs came back and it was back to usual Bethesda crap story (they really do a better job of illustrating the history of the world then NPC dialogue and story).
Anyways, if you do play, try to do the original base story first and find all the notes along the way, it's a pretty good Fallout background and Bethesda at their best storytelling (I know that doesn't say much but I do love their worlds for all the history and backstory they do).
I haven't played Fallout since New Vegas. if I'm in the mood of Fallout because of the tv show, should I play FO4 or FO76?
Nice! I like 76 more than I did 4 and that mostly has to do with the Appalachia map. Gorgeous area and I love that each area is distinct and has its own look. Cant wait for the update that expands the map!
