I thought the game was much better without NPCs- it was creepy and sad with unexpected outbreaks of violence. I still love it, though- I play maybe once a week with my brother and we just wander the map looking at messed up stuff, collecting junk and hunting for cryptids. I think we were exactly the audience the game was intended for- but unfortunately that is not the audience the gamer press caters to. Those people are still on /r/fo76 simultaneously bragging about grinding out 50 levels over a weekend and complaining that there's not enough end game content.
