Welcome to Appalachia
Fallout 76 is a first person action-adventure RPG (role playing game) set in the free roaming open world of West Virginia's Appalachian region. Many of the towns and sites found here mirror their real world counterparts.
Fallout 76 is set in 2102, twenty-five years after the earth was scorched from a great nuclear war. People lucky enough to be part of Vault Tek's fallout shelter program emerged from their vaults to find the world a much different place than before they went in.
Fallout 76 takes place on Reclamation Day and carries it's players through rediscovering and re-inhabiting the the earth.
Fallout 76 is Bethesda's first foray into an online multiplayer version of the Fallout series. Players can interact with each other, build and decorate their own custom houses, trade with one another and adventure together.
The Appalachia region is very picturesque, even after a total nuclear holocaust. Players love to take photographs and share them online. The developers even added an old film camera that players could use to take photos with.
I am am a photographer and landscape artist and love to photo derelict and decaying buildings. I am a big fan of the Fallout series, as the subject matter appeals to me.
These photos are taken from a combination of using the camera and photo mode.
I look forward to sharing my adventures through Appalachia with you all.
Enjoy!

I finished the Legendary Run pretty early on, and was back to maintenance mode. Recently I discovered a fun group of individuals to hang out with on Discord, and have become more involved with the game again. I also finally finished editing all of the latest photos since last July. You can find them in the galleries above. 12/24/2020
I am really behind in my photo edits for Fallout. I've been playing the Seasons very heavily as well as farming some of the rare reward events. Merry Christmas Yall! 6/2/2020
After Wastelanders came out, I started playing heavily again, in fact I have been keeping up on my daily quests as well. I re-found the Fallout76 photo submissions on the Bethesda forums and plan to start back up with that again too. I've been enjoying getting back into the game, having new stories and quests to play and seeing what's new. |

So, I haven't been active in FO76 in a good while. I praised this game, stood up for the issues it had, played through the issues, and really loved this game. I was at the point where I was getting kind of bored of it though, and only logged in daily to maintain the daily quests for more Caps, and to keep up on the free stuff in the store.
But then one day, a couple of months back, something happened that I just can't excuse, and turned me off of the game.
As we all know, many of us carry all our junk on us with the perks to make it weight next to nothing. Well, I of course had months and months of laborous play with a nice collection of materials saved up. If I died, I just went back for my stuff. No big deal.
Then it happened.
I went to do a quest in the Wendigo Cave. I was being too aggressive and ended up dying. No big deal, I'll just run back in, get my stuff, and try again.
Or, so I thought.
As I re-entered the Wendigo Cave, the game froze.
As in, it froze, no mouse, nothing. It had completely locked up.
I had to force close the game to get out of it, and of course at that point, my connection was severed to the game, and thus my bag of junk was forever lost.
I wrote a plea to Bethesda support, but then was made aware of a policy they have against not restoring player's lost stuff.
So, I lost months and months of hard work, not because I did something, but because I let myself believe that none of those bad things happening to everyone else would happen to me, because up until now, nothing really bad had ever happened like this.
I was at a loss for words, so I just logged back out of the game, and haven't touched it in months.
I will most likely jump back in once the Wastelanders DLC comes online, as that will be something new and interesting to do, but for now. No thanks. I just don't look forward to building up that junk collection again anytime soon.
In the meantime, I played through The Outerworlds (EXCELLENT!), Red Dead Redemption 2 (SO AWESOME!) and I daily play a ton of Magic: The Gathering Arena (see my entire other blog section on this if interested).
Anyway, I'll post some more photos around Appalachia once the new DLC is out.
