    Fallout 76 is okay. It has gotten better. I was unaware of what the Flatwoods Monster was when I first ran into one in the game. Have run into Mothman there too. It will hunt you, whereas the Flatwoods Monster seems to be ready to leave you alone if you leave it alone. The game itself gets a bit repetitive, and really seems to push you to work with others, which is sort of against the usual Fallout style of being the lone wanderer. Steam does a free trial from time to time, and you can check out the whole game in those trials.

    28:04 I usually dial easy to remember toll free phone numbers from favorite companies for test calls, then hang up once the automated system always answers the call first before I get an agent. I remember when I got my first cellphone as a teenager. The reason was my parents were concerned about having me find a payphone and this was 2008 when there were more payphones then than today.

    Fallout 76 has Mothman, The Flatwoods Monster, The Grafton Monster, and Windigo (and others). The game is fine, it got a lot of hate for no reason, especially from people who didn't actually play it, or played the Beta before release then decided not to continue with it. People said it had too many bugs, but it has no more bugs than any other Bethesda game. CyberPunk 2077 had more issues than Fallout 76 and it didn't get half the hate.

  • @FlamingoKicker

    If that Creature/being was truly a visitor from WAY out of town. One can only wonder what her or his descendants must think of
    A) Being called a Monster, when surely wherever it came from it may be called Mom Or Dad. and
    B) all the fame , and notoriety he/she or it , has acquired over the years. Makes one wonder if their species has ever thought of going on tour again to Earth. They would be a smash hit today.

    Fallout 76!! It's not as good as some of the earlier versions but, its got some fun stuff. The first version where you can play with other players. As for the cryptids, I've seen the Flatwoods monster a few times. He hasn't been very friendly and usually appears in the evening time. It will stand and observe you and if you get too close it will either runaway or attack. The game takes place 200 years after a big nuclear war so, you do encounter many mutations. One such is the Mothman. There are 2 versions of him and his offspring. There are many bad ones but, you can meet the original friendly one on certain evenings by a light house and get your photo with him. (i'm not sure if the lighthouse exists in the real WV). One other really bad Cryptid that you could encounter is a Wendigo. If you are not well armed, avoid it. If you do decide to get the game, stay on the west side of WV, until you can level up a bit. Things get meaner the farther east you travel.

    Back when I was a child, we kept our doghouse outside the yard fence, next to the woods. (Our house was on 7-1/2 acres which was entirely wooded, but we did have a main 2-lane road that went right in front of our house). My brother went out to feed the dog after dark & came bursting back into the kitchen. He said he saw something in the woods behind the dog house. The dog broke his chain & took off & my brother jumped the fence to get back in the house. I had a sticker book of wildlife with all kinds of animals in it and he saw the photo of a mandrill & said that's what it looked like. ETA: I was young so I don't remember anything more about the story.

    @Segafishy Před 2 lety +2

    The Fallout game with the cryptids is Fallout 76, initially it reviewed very poorly as it lacked NPCs and was very very glitchy which has been mostly fixed and updated now, it is however intended to be played with others online so won't be as smooth storywise as say 3 or New Vegas.
    If you just want to see the parts specific to each Cryptid search out a channel called Oxhorn, he's documented to quests and storylines for each which you can watch at your leisure rather than trying to play through.
    Also I think they went Philly with the beef option as only place that comes to mind UFO wise associated with it is Skinwalker ranch and that just sounds a bit grim.

    Fallout 76 is a complicated game for sure! But chances are you could find a cheap copy, and might enjoy exploring the post-apocalyptic West Virginia. It has lots of real life locations like flat woods, point pleasant, Helvetia. It is an online game but you could play through the entire story and never worry about the other people playing. I think it's worth your time to check it out.
