And to be fair to 76, it genuinely is a good MMO-style game now, IMO. It’ll never be at the level of FNV/FO4/Skyrim as far as community sentiment goes, since you can’t mod the shit out of it, but compared to launch when I finally went back to it last year, I put enough time into it again to feel like I got my money’s worth.
I think the fundamental issue is that people who like FO4 or Skyrim typically don’t want to play an MMORPG in the first place. But maybe I’m extrapolating too much from myself.
no, that’s exactly it: the entire franchise is built on being fundamentally a single player game and highly customizable.
players, reasonably, expect that from the series.
also, God Emperor ToddTM promised you would never have to see another player if you didn’t want to…which - and you will never guess this - was a complete and utter lie.
so on top of going against the established series formula players were also lied to about the game being playable without the MMO aspect.

the FO76 launch really was a legendary shitshow…
