Is Fallout 76 worth playing? Any tips for someone who is starting to play it? (leminal.space)

It's something I've been putting off for years now but it seems like the release of the Wastelanders DLC changed a lot of people's minds but I'm wondering what the state of the game is in late 2023.

Does it feel like a cash grab at times? Where you are forced to relentlessly grind?

If it is worth playing; should I be aware of anything?

I’ve played it on and off since launch, it’s a mixed bag to be honest. The world/characters/quests are all pretty good for a Bethesda-era fallout game but the mechanics are closer to something like Destiny. Caps are hard to come by, gear constantly needs to be replaced as you level up, certain builds are wildly unbalanced, etc.

Things balance out more once you hit the level cap and can start collecting legendaries though, and the quality of life updates have been mostly good.

The grind can be a bit annoying at times but it’s not the worst I’ve ever experienced. I’d definitely recommend trying it if you can grab it on sale or play it during a free weekend.
