I've played for about an hour. One first impression: sunlight through fog is freaking blinding. 80% of my screen is stark white.
You have to bleach your eyes every now and then...

I only returned to it due to the Wastelanders stuff. That adds lots of questy stuff, and makes the world seem a lot more interesting, but be warned the original core game loop is still there and easy to get burned out on.
BTW, unless you want to use a microphone , there is no way to communicate with strangers outside of silly emotes. I've gave up on teaming up with randos for that reason; too frustrating.
Also, did they increase the number of players per game? I thought it was limited to 4, but my map is showing 8 other players.
I'm just starting to get into it somewhat, and now there's a timer on the edge of the screen with a mesage saying that they're shutting down for maintenance in a few minutes.
You'd think they'd wait until after the free weekend to do that.
The environments look beautiful for me. Models when you get close up, not so much (much like other Beth games I guess).The game runs terribly on my PC. My computer is mediocre, but it runs Fallout 4 at close to max settings plus visual mods, and it looks 10x better than Fallout 76 for me.
There are urban clusters here and there, with some high-rises, but yeah, it's mostly countryside (of varying sorts).I'm not a big fan of the country setting. I prefer more urban environments for post-apoc. To be fair though, I've only seen a small portion of the map.
Not certain how long it is; some of it requires stumbling across, and I've avoided online spoilers about how much there is.@Shagnak;, How much of the Wastelanders content have you done? Any idea how long it is?

I've finished that whole quest line that starts when you meet some settlers looking for "treasure" near Vault 76.
I think I've done most of the one where there's two factions, and you ultimate have to try and convince them to help you with… something. The thing is, initiating this quest requires you to be of a reasonable level to have visited the area where the quest-giver is….
I'm 63, was 50-something before this content. I only play solo. I guess that's a high lvl considering how ambivalent I am about it, but then again I see 100+ level dudes all the time.What level are you?
The Wastelanders content is meant to be done solo right? Do enemies scale to your level?
Sure is
On my map at the moment is a 247, a 211, and a 449!!! That makes me feel both sad and happy that I haven't wasted quite that much of my life on this game.
Yeah, I can't imagine playing any one game that much. I mean, what's the point after a certain level? Are they still getting new perks? And the game can't possibly be any kind of challenge by then, especially since this is Bethesda we're talking about.
