I've successfully gotten my two oldest nephews addicted to Fallout 76 xD I gave the oldest my PS4, and the other got a PS5 for Christmas, and they've both now joined me in the Wasteland. And it's like herding baby ducks, I swear. There's just a lot to learn on your own in any Fallout game, you kinda have to figure out surviving yourself. It's difficult teaching every little thing to them, how to build your character, how to craft, how to mod, what everything little thing does, and trying to get them leveled up to at least 50 to boost their survivability. Problem is that one of them is all about running quests, and events, and getting XP, while the other just kinda wants to loot, and explore, and pick flowers. And that's fine, even off on his own there's really no consequences to dying. But if you want all the cool stuff like jetpacks, and mutations, and quality of life shit that makes the game more fun, you gotta do the main quest.
The oldest was also asking me about Nightreign. Oh boy xD He has played... some Elden Ring. He can't seem to make it to Stormveil because he doesn't understand grinding up Runes for levels. I told him, hey, if you come across something you can't fight, just run past it. But now he runs past everything xD And he doesn't grasp the concept of locking on to your target so... he just kinda swings wildly, and misses most of the time. So yeah, I don't quite think Nightreign would be his game, but I've also seen worse players so maybe. I had a round earlier with a Scholar, and a Recluse, and the Recluse was the better teammate... So that's fun. The Scholar seemed cool until the night 2 boss fight where ran up, dropped, and pinged a Devourer's Scepter, and I guess was mad no one took it because he turned proceeded to do most of the fight waving it around while not actually attacking or helping in any way. Like, dude... I had Moonveil, and Carian Slicer, I'm not dropping either for your collasal hammer bullshit weapon. You fucking use it. I guess he realized his little protest wasn't really affecting us at all because after the two of us got the boss down to about 20% health he jumped in to help. Of course, I go to block him after we win, and see he's got the platinum. Some of the absolute worst players I've met have had the platinum, I can only imagine they were hard carried. Not everyone is confident enough or crazy enough to solo every character. And funny enough, I went after Sentient with most of them. I did Augur with Revenant because she does crazy lightning damage, and Gaping for Executor because he has a decent enough dodge for it, and he's exceptional with frost, and bleed which are both real good against Gaping. Everyone else got Sentient. Sure, it's technically a two boss fight which would make it seem more difficult. But the scorpion is really slow, and their attacks are highly telegraphed, and you can use their huge body to block the month's magic missles if you stay on the opposite side. So then all you have to worry about is the poison, and charge attack because certain characters, aka Guardian, can not dodge. I'd probably choose Caligo for him if I had to do it again because she doesn't move very fast, she requires less precision dodging. But Sentient is also a good choice for everyone else because they're super weak to fire and bleed which are generally pretty easy to get. So despite being a multi-boss, they're probably the easiest, for me personally, to solo.
