Every route, what unlocks it and what each final choice means.
Fallout 76's main story ends with the death of the Scorchbeast Queen, which contains the Scorched plague. It is not a closed ending but a beginning, and later updates continue the story. Appalachia's future depends on the Dweller's continuing choices and on the factions they support.
