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?

It's not worth it. The core gameplay loop is basically pick a quest or thing to do, start making your way to the objective, get waylaid because your weapons broke, go farm fans in the office, go get tape from the adhesive shack, fix your weapon, head back towards the objective, and repeat.

The way to break the loop is to pay the Fallout First subscription which loads you up with gear and items like repair kits that can fix your weapons independent of the parts required.

It's absolutely not worth it, even with the update that added people, because the core gameplay loop sucks. You can't even hoard like a proper Bethesda RPG because your weight limit is garbage - another thing which can be remedied by paying the subscription.
