Negatives from the FO76 review that have been fixed by updates:
- No Steam release
- Frame rate issues
- Can't gift to friends
- Nonstop holotapes
- Random disconnects
- Takes forever to exit
- Lag on loot & combat
- Stupid focus on melee
- Can't upgrade to deluxe
- Doesn't uninstall properly
- (permanent?) Vendor cap stock
- Death bags don't tracker properly
- Can't place decor items in your house
- Ridiculous DoF, which can't be toggled
- Your bases get deleted when you logout
- Settings don't save, especially voice chat
- Radio is just a generic playlist, with no host
- Scorched are a poor replacement for raiders
- 50GB of additional free space required to patch
- Throttle setting in Bethesda Launcher doesn't actually work
- Recipes don't learn when picked up, you have to jank through your inventory
- Bonus ammo-find perk, as a separate search button, that you'll never remember to hit
- Legendary items are stupid rare, and less than worthless, 90% of them only exist to be discarded
- Bethesda Launcher drops my entire desktop to ~10 FPS when open, and uses a ridiculous amount of CPU% even when minimized.
- Launching the game, without Bethesda Launcher, doesn't check for updates, and then fails to connect you to servers without any information.
- Main story's level-pacing is way off (and level gating is bad design to begin with). I've been doing tons of side quests, and extra grinding to help Gwen with her quests, and main story enemies are still showing up twice my level.
- Game Breaking Bugs. Invisible enemies. Stuck AI breaks wave defense. No respawn points. Wrong quest makers. Quests fail to save progress. Quests disappear from the list. Quests that fail to register entirely. Music permanently cuts out. Audio logs that won't play...

Basically, FO76 is FO4, without any NPCs. It offers half the gameplay, twice the bugs, and none of the soul, but it is multiplayer! I mean, that multiplayer isn't viable, or relevant, or functional, but it exists.

Every interesting story happened 20 years ago, its sooooo interesting to hear about them in holotapes. You know, instead of actually playing them? Who would want that?
