Since thereвЂ™s little-to-no instancing, Bethesda also treats every environment as a live-fire range at all times. Safely sandboxed in your own unique instance, you could take in the story (or what passed for a story in The Division) in peace. Hell, even The Division-a game that somehow launched in a state where players could stand in doorways and block others from getting out-understood that the campaign should be unaffected by other peopleвЂ™s shenanigans. The lack of instancing in quests is beyond the pale though. Someone else is trading with the only robot merchant in town? YouвЂ™d better hope they donвЂ™t take too long, because youвЂ™re stuck waiting in line. Why? I guess because you need to watch your character sit down and stir a pot, or smack a hammer into a bench over and over while you peruse menus. If someone is using a crafting station, you canвЂ™t use it until theyвЂ™re done. Playing the beta a few weeks ago, I already complained about BethesdaвЂ™s slavish adherence to real-world logic over video game logic. It took me three real-world days to finish a quest that shouldвЂ™ve taken three minutes. 308 round into his head through a window, and finish the quest. Finally, after logging out to eat dinner and then returning, I was lucky enough to find a server where this damn ghoul was alive, pop a. I logged out, then logged back in to a new server. Yes, weвЂ™ve traveled back to the days of EverQuest and early World of Warcraft, queueing up to complete quest steps. I entered the basement-and the enemy was already dead. It took Bethesda nearly a month to fix.ДЄnd itвЂ™s not even the only busted quest! Another early one, вЂњPersonal Matters,вЂќ concludes with you having to kill a specific enemy inside a specific basement. When I finally encountered it, there were multiple Reddit threads discussing the problem.

On the other hand it was a quest people noticed was broken in the beta, because as I said it pops up maybe four or five hours into the game. Bethesda fixed that quest with this weekвЂ™s patch, so it feels unfair to harp on it too much. An item you needed to interact with wouldnвЂ™t allow interaction, causing the quest to break entirely. LetвЂ™s just recount the bugs, shall we? It started with the Bureau of Tourism, a mission you pick up mere hours into the game-and, if you were one of the many unlucky players, a mission you could never finish. Fallout 76 wouldnвЂ™t be a great game even if it functioned properly. It was the latest motivation-sapping bug in a long, long cavalcade, and so IвЂ™m tapping out. on November 19 when I logged in to find half my quest log mysteriously wiped away, as if IвЂ™d never started any of a half-dozen different missions. Fallout 76 is not strictly unplayable, but after 30-odd hours wasted in this West Virginia wasteland IвЂ™m calling it. after long hours spent frustrated I deem it unplayable. I either finish the game or the game finishes me-a.k.a. Here at PCWorld I try to stick to a simple standard when reviewing games.
