so it's perfect for a post apocolypse setting?

It’s much improved now and for a discount it’s worth playing I’d say, but when it came out it was total garbage. Never mind the fact that it barely worked, the whole concept of a story built around audio recordings and reading text was a disaster. They had to explain why you never saw anyone so you spend the first part of it following a character but always just missing them getting messages like ‘hey I had to run but it’s cool just meet me at x location’ then repeating it once you get there.

I get what they were trying to do but it just failed to come together.

It's not uncommon with the post-apocalypse genre. Many of them want to give the sense that you're the last person alive. And given the lore for 76, it would have made sense that there wouldn't be any normal people on the surface (it takes place when the first vaults began opening after the bombs fell). Although, why not have ghoul, super mutant or robot NPCs?

I was playing it recently and I gotta say it's pretty good. I mean, as fun as Fallout 4 is. But the shit things about it are the things that make it unique. Namely the multiplayer/online gameplay. It sucks because there is often lag making enemies rubberband, which makes them hard to hit. I think it would be better if you could play it entirely offline by yourself.

I would imagine the post-nuclear wasteland probably would be a bit.

I unironically liked it more than when they added NPCs, it was a story about how everyone in the area either fled, died, or turned into a monster while you and your friends from the vault opened up and went out, figuring out what happened as you accidentally your way into different factions kept alive by robots.

It was fine honestly
