One such improvement is with the aesthetics. Let's cover what aspects of the base have changed though.

For that, just read my Fallout 76 review of Fallout 76 since little has changed. Still, this isn't a review of the rest of the game.

I suppose it's good that the interminably dull rest of the game isn't interminable anymore. They're essentially segregated off, which is understandable since certain events happen and you wouldn't want an idiot to kill somebody, essentially locking you down a particular path. Oh yes, the primary quest-giving Wastelanders NPC's are in instanced party-only areas. I should say that this has been slightly improved with the inclusion of NPC's outside of the instanced areas. That's when you get to enter the lifeless, the interminably dull - the rest of the game. If you've been following the story with little extras you won't be level 20, sadly a cold hard fact. The level requirements for some of the quests later is 20. The stat requirements need to be lowered for dialogue trees in the new quests and at one point the game actually stops dead in its tracks if you haven't levelled up enough. That's the issue, if you're actually wanting to see this new content and explore it in a meaningful way, the game actively punishes you. Your very first event and discussion involving a quest-giving human require you to have levelled up a few times more than can be reasonably expected to enjoy some of the optional dialogue.

There's no way that you've got your SPECIAL Stats to meet any of the required levels of charisma and so forth. Why? Simply put, you can't explore all the nice little quirks of Fallout 76: Wastelanders dialogue and quests fully if starting as a new character. Why a new character, you ask? Well, I was asked to experience the new content as a fresh-faced vault-dwelling newbie. It will at least get a higher score, despite the fact that I had more fun playing as Mr Clicky than I have done with my new character. Playing Fallout 76: Wastelanders has felt like more of a chore than even playing Predator: Hunting Grounds, despite this arguably being the better game.
