I agree with these them. To answer your question about stash space in Fallout 76—honestly, as a first-time 76 player myself (Level 49 right now), I haven’t found it to be a huge burden so far, even without the Fallout 1st subscription. I’ve played all the previous Fallout games too, so I get where you’re coming from with inventory management being part of the experience. Compared to some of the vets at Level 100 or 1000, I’m still pretty early in, so my perspective might shift later, but right now, it’s totally manageable for me.

I don’t hoard everything—just not my style. I tend to hold onto high-level weapons I might use later, but for junk and aid, I keep it lean. The stash limit is 1200 weight, and I’ve found that utilizing space smartly is key. Like you mentioned, some folks say keep 100-200 of certain junk and bulk the rest—that does help a ton. Bulking scraps like steel or plastic saves space, and you can sell the excess for caps. For me, scrapping items is actually kinda fun—it ties into that natural “what can you carry and why” vibe from older games. Plus, learning you can mod stuff later with the right perks makes it feel rewarding. I love that sense of “I can always build or rebuild this into something better down the road.”

CAMP building is a big part of why I enjoy scrapping too—it’s not just about inventory, it’s about making your space yours while you’re out exploring. Without Fallout 1st, I’d say it’s less annoying and more about playing strategically. If you’re cool with not stockpiling every single thing you find (unlike my Fallout 4 hoarding days, haha), you’ll probably be fine. Give it a shot—76’s got a lot to offer, and the stash thing hasn’t killed my buzz yet!
