76 was a bit different, but I still liked it overall once the bugs were worked out. I thought FO4 was decent too, even though I wasn't all that interested in the base-building component.
it's already a wasteland out here, the city is a trash can and i find cool shit just walking around all the time. you know why? years of experience looting everything in Fallout games. i don't have the strong back perk for nothing.
It would be nice if not everything were set in Southern California (yes, I'm exaggerating slightly). But it does make sense, I guess, since LA is a dump. Only place I've spent significant time in that I liked less than New Jersey. Well, Florida is in the running.
