   @BeAware I dunno.. I just want an *objective*. I have a list thousands of games long, and I want to check those games off my list.

   If there's an actual narrative mission to the game outside of "number goes up", I might take a look.

   When I saw credits rolls in Skyrim, I said: ✅ done. What's next. (Even though the game wants you to randomly keep doing random stuff after that point)

   We're all weird in our own special weird ways. 😀

     Is #Fallout76 worthwhile if you definitely will never pay the monthly subscription fee?

     @tony_394c6b6b @BeAware Is there a storyline with a beginning and an end? Or is it mostly just random quests?

     @RxBrad Sure, you just have to store a lot less at your camp. Everything else is cosmetics.

     @BeAware @tony_394c6b6b I may jump in at some point. I'm mostly interested in the main quest(s). After that, I'll dip out -- not really interested in grind with no endpoint.

     @BeAware The means to an end is my favorite part. I finally beat Skyrim recently and stuck to the main storyline, and felt pretty good about it.

     Turns out I actually have 70 meandering hours of Fallout 4 playtime from when I played it on PS4. Time to mainline that next.

     @brzz @BeAware I actually did piles of side quests on my previous Skyrim attempts. Then came away feeling like I hadn't accomplished anything. Then I eventually finally did my mainline run-through.

     Maybe that's the cycle of playing Bethesda games.

     @RxBrad @BeAware if you’re counting guilds and side quests as the ‘random stuff’ though, then you’re missing the best bits of Skyrim and Fallout.

     The main quest line in Bethesda games is consistently the worst quest line

     BeAware repeated this.
