So if you’re not very high level, you’ll inevitably miss out on some quest results and conversations.

There are lots of dialogue options and choices with the human NPCs that require certain stats to be high enough (like Intelligence and Charisma) otherwise those dialogue choices can’t be picked.

Your existing character is probably already over level 20 so you won’t have to go do other stuff to grind and catch up.

You won’t have to pause doing the Wastelanders questline to catch up in levels.

If you’re brand new to Fallout 76 in general then playing as a new character is your only option and that’s totally fine, but otherwise, we think you’ll be better off playing as an existing higher-level character. Why You Should Play Wastelanders On An Existing Character

After that point, you can come back and continue working on the Wastelanders questline. You won’t miss out on anything, but the game will basically tell you to go level up and do other things until you reach level 20. Think of it as a new main story that happens at the same time alongside everything else.Įventually, you’ll hit a point where you’ll need to be level 20 before you can continue doing the Wastelanders questline. The original main quest and all other content that existed before Wastelanders is still there, so you won’t actually miss out on anything. When you first exit Vault 76 after the initial introduction and tutorial segment, you can speak to two women standing near the exit that will kick off the Wastelanders main quest line. Seeing it all from the perspective of someone freshly exiting the vault is likely the best and most authentic way of interacting with the characters. Starting Wastelanders as a new character makes sense initially because so much of the content is organically threaded throughout the world. Tips for Playing Wastelanders As A New Character
