Bethesda has a history of weaving highly immersive gameplay into all their titles, and with Fallout 76 they seem to have targeted server browsers as a huge barrier to that immersion. But as someone that plays a lot of small scale multiplayer games like Ark, Rust, and Conan Exiles, I can’t help but wonder why they think that’s a smart move. Server browsers aren’t a barrier to immersion, they’re a way for players to customize their experience so they can play the way they want to play, with as much or as little player interaction as they see fit.
