So far, the Fallout 76 Beta has been met with... skepticism to put it nicely. Stripping away a lot of what makes this world feel like a fallout game, like the series staple NPCs that serve as the main kind of world building may be a mistake that sinks the game, but we won't know until the actual title drops on the 14th of this month. So far, an empty world without a lot to learn or see seems to be the number one complaint, but these radio dramas aim to fix that.
Here is the official word, give these a listen, some are pretty fun.
The world of Fallout 76 is steeped in mystery. But when you’re not trying to discover what happened to everyone after the bombs dropped, you might find yourself asking a different question: What’s that figure, lurking in the dark? The answer probably isn’t as friendly as you might like. The Tales from the West Virginia Hills holotape series is here to give you an idea of what to look out for if you hope to survive.
