I was one of the people who pre-ordered Fallout 76 before knowing that it wasn’t going to be a single player game, once I heard it was going to be a multi-player game, I knew right away that there was no way Bethesda could get their game engine to handle it. And I just knew that it was going to be a amazing show to watch, the internet exploding over the drama of Bethesda failing at a game.  
And it was a amazing ride, I pretty much made Trixies face the whole way through.  
The only thing that kept me from asking for a refund too is waiting for private/invite only servers.

Let me guess, it’s the “I was right” face.

As a rule I watch three hour of let’s play before buying. Then it’s watch the whole thing or buy the game. Exept for sequels, if they are story sequels. DLC are dependent of the type of game RPG get a Bonus, MMO malus (since I only play it if free), fighting games is dependent of the content offered for download.

I never do. I learned my lesson from other game companies.

@Ping_chan  
Forget that. S1 Trixie as Andrew Wilson.

Now I want to see someone produce a comic/fanfic where Trixie is in Todd Howard’s place, and she’s gotta produce Bethesda’s next big game!

Remember that Bethesda will say the game is amazing whether or not it actually is - so don’t preorder!

@Gamer_Molly  
Understandable. But you must admit that 76 is broken af.

Ive played 3, NV, 4, and now 76, like every game released these days theres always going to bugs and flaws, but its more multiplayer then we’ve ever gotten next to the NV mod that is. 1 and 2 I can’t bring myself to play due to the age of them now.

@FamusJamus  
I believe I started playing back in indev.

Pretty much this. Either the game will be exactly how I expect it to be (Fallout 76 with swords instead of guns, and those microtransactions will be geared buying those Dragonborn iron spiked helmets from Skyrim and buying new items for the houses you can purchase in-game) and Bethesda will continue its decline until it pulls a Telltale on us, or Bethesda will pull its head out of its own ass (it’ll take a while; it’s pretty deep in there) and will produce an amazing game, having learned its lesson.

Hah! Relevant. Look’s like people will think twice when they buy games developed by Trixie. Maybe Trixie should think about going back to just publishing games and remember her place.

@Havock  
Same here, been playing since early beta. Such a good modding community for that game.

The general consensus is that Fallout 4 was pretty lacking, so nobody can blame you for sticking with New Vegas.

Trixie: “Oh, cheer up you peasants! Don’t you know that there’s other great Bethesda games out there? Like Skyrim Remastered Edition?”
 
Anon: “Wait a minute…”
 
pulls off Trixie’s mask
 

 
Todd: “Oh hi Anon. I was just roleplaying within a magical fantasy land, which is precisely what you can do in Skyrim! Makes you really want to buy the game again, huh?”

You didn’t need 20/20 foresight to see how terrible 76 was going to be. Any familiarity with Beth’s decline is enough. I have no optimism for TES 6.

@Background Pony #D76D  
Im not saying i despise fallout 4 either i just never bought it

Yep not touching the dumpster fire that is fallout 76 haven’t bought any fallout past NV

I’m still playing Minecraft.

Good thing I never preordered the Fallout 76 Collectors Edition then.

Eh I’ve been having a blast playing it personally

Is it said to say to say they did better then blizzard with Diablo mobile announcement.

I am sooo glad I saw this game on youtube before I bought it. :3 The game is crap!

gonna give it straight: todd and his boys made a mess
 
but hines and his cronies? boy, did they YAYed it up all the way to china, pit stop at cairo, and back
