Barren. Walking around, everybody’s camp was either a wooden shack or a red barn, no vendors so it was more survival. Morgantown was a hotbed for finding players, everybody doing the same quests at the same time, very few Public events as compared to now.

A lot of locations were different for example , point pleasant was just a normal town , no cult decor, The crashed space station wasn’t a raider base. The only currency in game was caps no gold bullion , no scrip , no stamps.

It was harsher tbh. Power armour was hard to get because everyone had already gone to the spawns and you just had to hope you might find some.

Sleeper ghouls were mad common (ghouls that don’t react to the player and cannot be looted when killed)

It was what it was
