After reviews like that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMuMe21L1Ss Laymen Gaming) I'm glad to be a stubborn weirdo refusing online DRMd games (yet). Could otherwise had been a potential waste of preorder money.

So, the collectors edition got a nylon trash bag instead of a canvas duffle bag. And to make up for it Bethesda is giving out $5 worth of microtransactions to those affected.

Go Bethesda, go that extra mile!

This was the biggest turn off for me, when I saw this post on Reddit. That and the always on pvp. I just want to explore and mind my own business and do quest with random players, if I feel like being social.

Any other MMO to do this is basically a death sentence for that game, so I do not expect people to continue to play this, even after they fixed this issue. I also saw a posting (not sure where) that said that if you drop three nukes at the same time, it would crash the server.

Also isn't one of the goals in this game is to rebuild the US, but in the other games no such thing exist, that is not the Enclave.

Fallout 76: yet another terrible Fallout game from Bethesda. I'm not surprised at all. That's nothing new. Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 were also terrible. Fallout: New Vegas was great, but only because Bethesda didn't make it.

I'm not sure why everyone all over the Internet is acting like Fallout 76 being horrible is a new thing with no historical precedence from Bethesda. It certainly isn't.

nvm

Can we talk about the refund policy for this game that Bethesda has. I mean this one of the most BS moves that I have heard.

From what I had heard is that people that ordered the game have to issue an chargeback through their credit card companies (for the US) to get a refund because Bethesda is not allowing refunds for Fallout 76. And if you do this they banned your account on their launcher.

The original reddit post:

Five dollars of in game currency; which doesn't even net you a door or potted plants, but skins.

I feel a real CAL is coming for Bethesda.

It's bad enough when the filthy bots aren't spouting blatant falsehoods. This is why they'll never have rights, because their loyalty is to a line of code.

I've seen people comparing Todd Howard to Peter Molyneux. This is unfair to the latter, as Ole' Pete was passionate about his projects and the games he released were (relatively) tightly made for the time being. Sure, many of them overshot the audience and were often arcane, but at least he made the effort of innovation

Necrobots! Less than meets the eye!
