This means you’ll be forced to step off of the Wastelanders path and run into the base game’s countless optional fetch quests, left-behind letters, and holotapes recordings. If you’re starting new and going directly into Wastelanders’ story, eventually you’ll also hit a point where Fallout 76 requires you to be at least level 20 before going any further. I guess that’s Fallout in a nutshell to some extent, but still kind of bizarre. It’s a little silly to have to exit a conversation, pop some stat-boosting pills, and then have the same dialogue over again just to get a better result. For starters, lots of the best and most interesting dialogue hinges entirely on your SPECIAL stats, and in many cases require far higher stats than you would likely have early on. Playing as a brand-new character does have some weird quirks.However, playing as a brand-new character does have some weird quirks. Although, it can be annoying that there is no indication of whether or not a quest is new or old other than whether it includes a human NPC or not. That makes the new content feel seamlessly integrated, even if you’re dusting off a mid-level character from just after launch.
MMORPG expansions often pressure new players to finish the original story and every expansion, in order, on top of all the repeatable open-world content and end-game activities, but here many old and new quests overlap. Rather than segmenting content and delineating between new and old quests, Wastelanders’ new quest is organically threaded throughout the world, fundamentally changing what Fallout 76 is. In concept, Wastelanders has an interesting format for an expansion to a persistent online world. During the base game’s story, an inoculation against the Scorched plague was discovered (hey, timely!), so this next chapter is all about distributing that vaccine and convincing the new Raider and Settler factions to work with you. Wastelanders’ believable and intriguing story fast-forwards the world a year and focuses on the sudden repopulation of Appalachia after rumors of a hidden cache of valuable lost treasure start to spread. As a result, Fallout 76 is starting to feel like a true Fallout game – even if it’s still not as consistently enjoyable as its predecessors.
It finally introduces mostly interesting human NPCs, an abundance of fun new quests, and satisfying alterations to existing areas.
FALLOUT 76 RATING ON RELEASE UPDATE
Wastelanders, its latest free update that’s more like a full expansion, is a dramatic overhaul of Appalachia from top to bottom it desperately needed. Following a rough launch in 2018 that was plagued by bugs, server issues, and a generally lackluster game, Bethesda has, to its credit, not given up: it’s consistently delivered a slew of updates that’ve brought new content, features, and more in an effort to revive a game that stumbled and fell before it ever really got a chance to run. They say war never changes, but if that’s true, nobody told Fallout 76.
