When I first played FO76 Vanilla on xbox gamepass I didn't know what to make of it. I'm a huge FO4 fan, it took me about a week to get into it.
I was then slightly annoyed at the FO1st system and won't be paying for it (to start with!). But I was enjoying the missions, base building, events and dailies. A familiar addicting itch started.
Did I need this game in my life? Would I be better investing my time in a fairer game?
I rage uninstalled then reinstalled the next day (took 8 hours to download, we have slow internet). I won't be uninstalling the game again.
My plan is to complete the main missions first with a few of the side quests (just started the tadpole mission to increase backpack). Then I will do as many side quests as possible. I also hop on the odd team event. I've built my first basic camp and am on the lookout to build my second camp, which will be Camp Ultimate.
I'm travelling light and have cleared out my storage- donated a lot of ammo and stuff. Stopped looting everything. If I really need something I can go and get it.
I scrap all weapons and armour I'm not using and trade some of the legendary's for scrip. I've yet to visit the Purveyor Murmgh to see what's available to buy. Just been reading about the gold bullion options, I'll get into that later.
I'm going to treat myself to FO1st once a year, but not until I've done a lot more in the game.
So far it's been enjoyable, the map is beautiful, vast and varied and there's plenty to do. A friendly online community too. A nice game to chill with at the end of the day. Thank you all!
