kyriosmalaka2312: Having to fish for your consolation prize isn't compensation. It's a punishment.

handyandqu: Not sure rewarding people with more grind is what anyone was hoping for.

NovusAries: I hate the fishing so I’m out of luck

snowmcsnow4732: I will take 1000 atoms as compensation, thank you.

TheDBZCollector: triple xp for as long as the servers were down/having problems

TheTwoTwoForReal: I thought rewarding players with more grind was exclusively something Blizzard did. Seems Todd got some inspiration from them. A proper compensation would actually be to just give us items.

TeamHappyChainsaw: not really compensation if you have to work for it.

I will never be forced to fish.

rayznhell6237: So i have to choose between fishing for gifts and hunting treasure hunters?

I hate you Bethesda.

Damx3: I found waterlogged gifts in skyline valley, they aren't just in burning springs

billyjordan2633: The gifts are trash and shows us EXACTLY how Bethesda feel about it's customers.

UnfilteredMedic: I found all the locations and it says 4 are still undiscovered.

danielk9906: I was getting these gift when i was fishing for the daily... it was more of an inconvinience tbh, i hate fishing and this just made it longer

michaelderp4130: I had dailiy challenges vanish so im really annoyed right now with the game

db7so7sg7t: not realy a gift if u have to grind for it

Katsuhi50: fishing is the most tedious shit ever in this game and when it comes to it bethesda can eat my whole ass, i can't even play the story content for burning springs because they took the servers offline right as i got done talking to the rust king and the follow up quest didn't trigger and now i'm just shafted on it.

CaseyHarMegiddo: honestly just throw like 300-500 atoms at everyone Bethesda, you will have people praising the hell out of you for it.

ferrouswheel2677: I refuse to do the fishing quest. I hate fishing in games. It's bullshit they're putting these gifts behind that crap.

Rorschach1998: I'm expecting a buff to those bounties since they're extremely fast & easy to do.

wormwoodmain6677: It was better when they gave us the wrapping paper directly. This was more of a sneaky way to increase player engament/count. Its an additional grind, how are you getting "conpensated" when you gotta get the necessary bait and waste time.

mokthanksalot740: But do we get our Chryslus Cherry Tinker bench back?

The_Only_Mr_Bear: Not compensation. Compensation would be a free 2000 atoms or the ability to mod the Abraxo weapon

6661313: "extra daily challenges" meanwhile yesterday without fallout first there was only 5, making it impossible to get the 6/6 to finish the dailies

GregEaston: There is no way Bethesda can try to bribe me to play their janky mini-game they pretend is fishing.

MuddyTears: Great. I have to work for their fu. I personally hate fishing. I can’t do it from PA like they put all over the promo artwork and I just don’t enjoy it.

georgielee1619: Now I know why 6 people were all fishing at that spot!

cameltoeinspector6015: And of course, I re-rolled the level up challenge

tedbonedog: I caught 2 gifts 1 piece of coal and a toy car lol
