Fallout 76 even right at launch wasn’t really a “shittier” game than either of the two previous Bethesda Fallouts, it was just a more honest game that dropped the pretense of being an RPG with a story to just be a loot shooter where you can show off all your loot to other players. In addition it is of course also a predatory live service game that locks unlimited storage (something you really want in a game that is 100% about loot) behind a 10 dollar a month subscription.
It does have easily the prettiest and most varied map of any Bethesda game tho.
