So the updates a weeks ago...well, I'm done with this game.
Why? They are ratcheting up the issue about carry weight, having already bungled it more than once.
Now, while they aren't forcing you to drop stuff immediately in order to walk at all, you cannot eat anything to solve the hunger need. Food level low? Previously: eat dog food. Now? Eating only destroys something, it doesn't boost your food level. Solution: Drop everything you are carrying. Now eat. Next: decide what all you are taking with you, and leave 90% behind.
No thanks.
So today, when Bethesda email'd me to take a survey, I ripped em a new one.
I was a B.E.T.A. participant, but now FO76 is first on the chopping block when I need disk space.
Maybe if Linda Carter calls me personally and says they changed the weight stuff the right way I won't...

Later, Spring 2020.
So finally Bethesda released an FO 76 update that is in fact the game they should have released originally.
A friend and I agreed we would do the update and start over. There was clearly no way I was recovering the old character.
This is better, they are a number of newly interesting things going on. My character is approaching level 100, but I feel like i've more or less run out of interesting, and have reached repetitive. It's not clear where anything is going that is changing, probably because that can't happen.
My friend went with the "First" upgrade, but I can't say that's necessarily exciting, other than you aren't bumping into any other players who are either going to murder you and take your stuff or cause weird side-effects.
Where is it all going?
Why is there still trash everywhere?
Why is there a limit on the size of my stash?
