Fallout 76 was a game from an established and beloved IP. Many people played it since launch despite the issues because they loved Fallout. Redfall doesn't have anything going for it, the gamers already forgotten about it and won't come back no matter how much it's improved.
True. And not only that. I played Fallout 76 in its original state until I was level 70 something. There's just something about the freedom to go out and doing whatever you want in these Bethesda games I just can't get enough of. There is always that next goal to achieve, the next narrative to uncover. I played Starfield 32 hours so far and haven't done a single mission for Constellation. It wasn't even on purpose. I just am perpetually side tracked from the main quest.
Anyways, I'm also side tracking from the point of this reply. Redfall has Dishonored DNA. The Dishonored formula carries as much weight in loyalty as Fallout does even I think Dishonored 2 was a better game than Fallout 4.
The reason is simple. Dishonored lines up one carrot stick after another, in order and very neatly. Fallout, Skyrim and now Starfield gots big carrots, baby carrots, carrot cake, carrot soup, carrot salad placed in all directions. Pick your flavor.
