[2019] Farewell Appalachia

I, like many others who have posted this week, fell victim to the early trash talking of FO76.

Two years ago, Bethesda had a free week for Elder Scrolls Online, and despite all the negative reviews, I experienced it and boy oh boy. I bought it and sunk some serious hours into it.

Thankfully, Bethesda did the free week schtick again, and I sunk some serious work into Fallout 76. From the getgo, I knew I had 7 days to get as much done as I could. Made it to level 40 and was halfway through I Am Become Death when the week ended today.

Hopefully I'll continue my time in Appalachia at a later date, but until then my $30 will need to keep me going as a ramen eating graduate student. Maybe then, I can experience the game less rushed (and hopefully with some others, as my solo play really damped the experience, I'm sure.)

Thank you Bethesda for making some of my favorite games and giving free weeks when the critical reviewers hypnotized me.

Edit : To whichever Redditor found my gamertag and gifted the game to me, thank you so much. Your generosity just adds to how great the community of this game is. I promise to pay it forward when time comes. See you in Appalachia, my friend.
