The graphics are good in this game, game in 4K with a crappy RTX4060 and the graphics just looks good.

This improves the graphics:
1. Download this preset from Nexus and extract the settings file into game parent directory
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/2348.
2. Download and install Reshade with add-on support https://reshade.me/downloads/ReShade_Setup_6.1.1_Addon.exe
3. While installing, choose your extracted preset file from game's parent directory.
4. Press Home in-game to make sure you are using right preset.
Thats it. The preset makes outdated textures look better due to cinematic effect and makes color scheme more natural. You can compare here https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/2348?tab=images

High def was never invented in the Fallout universe. In fact colour TV is barely a thing.

Playing a low def version is true to the sepia toned nostalgia of the mid-century, retro-futuristic inspired era.

Sometimes the graphics look very good for close up scenes but when you look at the distance it looks atrociously bad. I think Fallout 4 does look a lot better.

The gameplay in Fallout 76 is also a bit dull and the scorched statues get repetitive after a while. Certainly the interactions havent improved. And there are a lot of graphical artifacts like people moving too quickly, no leg movement, not climbing stairs properly etc. Its very jarring and spoils the immersion when you see it. Also other players doing the same missions as you, seeing other peoples camps with the same things as you are building, not being able to use your camp if it intersects with someone elses. Getting chucked off for server updates. No saves so if you die you have to pick the last mapped place you saw to reload which could be ages ago.

It all ruins the immersion of the world. It just all reminds me why I dont like multiplayer games.
