It’s a better MMO, too, with more daily quests, endgame gear, and roleplay options.
There are NPCs now, and proper quest lines with branching dialogue that make it feel more like a Fallout game. The last three years have had their ups and downs, but a few key updates – Wastelanders, Steel Dawn, The Legendary Run, and One Wasteland For All – have made Fallout 76’s world a drastically different one than players entered back in 2018.
But they’re less severe than they were, and no longer laid bare in an empty world where players have little to do other than harass each other. Many of those issues remain: crashes are common, bugs still abound, and the UI is more nightmarish than any Scorched you’ll come across in post-apocalyptic Appalachia. It was prone to griefers, bereft of life, clunky, and buggy as all hell – worse than Cyberpunk, and it’s not even close.
