It's 90% OFF rn on Steam and I've always loved Fo games (I'd say NV is my fav) and I love outer worlds as well, anyway, I have no friends who'd play the game with me and I live in the middle east so chances I make friends inside the game are pretty low (I've never met anyone who plays 76, or even Fo fans in general) also I guess it's worth mentioning that my internet connection isn't that stable (I've read that to play offline you need to pay subscription, hard PASS for me, but I can bear with not-so-good connection). Also it's worth mentioning that I'm on Fedora and the ProtonDB page for the game isn't very pleasant. And I'm thinking about buying GMod instead (my friend owns it but that's all)

I love Fo and enjoyed every Fo since 3 (I didn't play the old ones yet) but I don't want to regret buying it.

Give me advice!

It's a great game if you enjoy building bases and you're willing to pay for the subscription. The game is significantly worse if you don't pay for Fallout 1st. If you want more of the dialogue driven RPG, 76 is not the experience for you. There are a lot of great things about the game, but it's quite different from the other Fallout games. 90% of the time, you are running around collecting junk to build up your CAMP. There are no dialogue choices that impact the story in any meaningful way. There are only a handful of groups of NPC's and basically no characters are particularly interesting or memorable. The game is completely focused on collecting materials and building CAMPs. The subscription is almost required once you progress far enough in the game. If that is a dealbreaker for you, then I would say you should not go for it.
