Very different than, say, New Vegas where all the enemies that fill the "Raider" or "Bandit" niche are named factions with actual reasons for existing and histories that make sense. Legion, Vipers, Jackals, Khans, Fiends, Powder Gangers, and so on, and each of them has their own aesthetic and gameplay touches.
Well sure, I guess 90% of the enemies could just be random jet/psycho addicts wearing scrap metal who rush your power armored ass with a pool cue while yelling "Kickass!". That's fine too I guess...
Actually was gonna shout out the 2e Mwangi Expanse & Strength of Thousands before I saw your comment lol. Love the fantasy Africa analogue (big fan of the Anadi!) and how they avoided so many of the problems D&D's fantasy Africa analogue had in its portrayals. Haven't read anything on the east Asia stuff, looks dope though

The cost of preparedness - measured now in gold, later in blood
Far Harbor has excellent atmosphere and environments, and that's pretty much it. I still don't like the writing and the player agency is lacking as usual IMO. Nuka World is just bad unless you want to be cacklingly cartoonishly evil, and it's not great even then.
I've gotten so many "what are you?"s in every job, public, or academic setting I've been in, and it is soooooo fucking tiresome and dehumanizing. Can I just be me already?
Player of Games is good! I started with Consider Phlebas which I quite enjoyed but Use of Weapons stuck out to me when I was first reading them!

I may have had to read it twice to keep the intersecting plots straight but that's my own ADHD more than anything
