Patrolling Equestria almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

With the imminent release of Fallout 76 on Steam and the single-player / RPG content many of us wanted from the game coming along with it, feel free to make suggestions or leave your own comments on ways we can *gasp* actually meet up in Appalachia properly here!

To say Fallout 76 had a rough launch (and it's subsequent barrage of patches weren't a cluster♥♥♥♥) would of course be an understatement, but everything I've seen of the Wastelanders expansion really looks like Bethesda listened to players. I mean heck, the classic dialog system is in place instead of the much disliked Fallout 4 version, so that alone is a major improvement.

It remains to be seen how this will all turn out in the end, but when several games, including Final Fantasy XIV and No Man's Sky can go from trash to actually good thanks to the developers knuckling down and getting to work, well, that might be the case here, too. Guess we'll see!

On that subject, if you haven't seen either of them, Internet Historian did a pair of videos about how badly 76 screwed up; and how much No Man's Sky recovered from it's failings. I'll link them both below if you have some time to spare, as they're both informative and entertaining.
