It all started in that initial creation screen where I was given the chance to create my character’s Vault 76 ID. Since Fallout 76 allows me to customize my looks without visiting a plastic surgeon (as was the case in Fallout 4) I’ve made this a supporting element of my personal narrative.
I’m pure shit at face creation, of course, but that’s not what this is about. Character appearance changes, which can now be done at any time, is a bright spot for detail-oriented folks like yours truly. It’s still a role-playing game, and for now I’m focusing on the things that enhance my ability to do that. Fallout 76 seems like a place where I’m going to have to make my own fun for the foreseeable future.
