[rusty_shackleford]

Yet induction tells me it will be a shitshow.

this is why we're excited

Link your Bethesda.net and Steam accounts before April 12th, and if you already own Fallout 76 then you'll also get it on Steam for free.

Two platforms, twice the fun.

Apparently, people who refunded the game on the Bethesda launcher still get F76 on Steam for free

You can't get rid of the game even if you want to. There is no escape.

“With the return of people to Appalachia, the new factions have moved in claiming territory as their own,” Bethesda explained in a tweet on Friday. “Wastelanders won’t be the same Appalachia you’re used to. Check your C.A.M.P. location with this map to see if you may need to consider relocating from a no-build zone.”

Replying to a Twitter user who asked what would happen to camps left in a Wastelanders-specific location, Bethesda senior VP Pete Hines said, “Same as when you log in and another player on your server is in your spot. You get a free placement to put your C.A.M.P. somewhere else.”

Thank God Bethesda doesnt have a game set in Israel.

IMO one of the best fallout games. This is coming from someone who loved fo3 and NV. This one has a unique flavor that has been extremely immersive.
Don't listen to the haters. Most have never played, or just love to bash the game because they get off on it. A lot of love and care has went into making this world feel alive. There are scenes everywhere. Environmental storytelling at its best.

I love wandering into a house, finding a note, and it leading me somewhere without hand holding me. There is so much story in this game.

I highly recommend playing FO76.
Again don't listen to the hivemind.

Amen, a true 10/10, and far more entertaining than the game itself, gj.

I still maintain that this is Bethesda's best release since Morrowind on the basis that everything else sucks and this sucks slightly less.

 

[Wunderbar]

Meh, apparently it's stable and relatively bugless. No new controversies on the horizon

Love how people just cry about how stuff is monetized..... Has anyone noticed that the new game price has stayed pretty much the same for ages while everything else has felt the effects of inflation? Love how consumers feel they have the right to tell companies how and what they should charge for their product. If you don't like it, dont do it, noone is forcing you to. I am having fun with this game again, didnt play much at launch because it did feel wierd without friendly NPCs. Thats solved now, and I find the interactions with NPCs in this are actually more interesting than they were in FO4. I do not care that I had to pay extra to have a private server, cause.... its a private server? I play a lot of survival games and funny.... but none of them provide private servers for free..... its downright wierd that people expect private servers for free from Bethesda. Especially considering the Atom points included in the subscription are actually cheaper than if you were to buy just the Atom points. (You cant buy exactly 1600, but to get that much would cost you more than just getting the subscription). SO... in theory ALL of the other stuff in the subscription is essentially free after the points. I doubt I will play for more than a month anyway so I am happy with paying a little extra, still way cheaper than going for drinks.

Gameplay with the new NPCs is fun, realtime VATs is a neat solution to not being able to slow time, feels very gunslinger-esque once you have a good setup going. Typically Fallout humour is throughout, typical Fallout bugs are throughout. Perk system feels fluid and flexible with the ability to swap out cards for different situations. Fun game, worth every penny I have spent on it so far. And for those that are whining about the $$$, perhaps you should spend more time making $$$ so you dont have to whine about $$$...... Just saying... Base Game + Subscription is still less than I spend at the bar on an average Friday (Pre Covid).

I'll give it a month. If I was wrong about something i'll own up to it.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

New xpac apparently has stat checks, branching narratives, and lots of reactivity
Does anyone here actually own this?

Nice try Todd.

It has dialogue with frequent stat checks, two factions with which you can gain reputation by doing the "main quest" (there are also faction dailies), there's some secondary choices during quests (eg you find someone who's infected with the scorched virus and can choose whether to let him go or put him out of his misery before he transforms into a scorched ghoul), and so far it is indeed relatively bug-free. Other than that, for the most part the new story missions are still boring dungeon crawling crap - go to that place, gather X item, bring it back, go to next dungeon, bring Y item, etc.

All-in-all it plays a bit more like the "Fallout 4 MMO lite" people were expecting back in 2018. So I guess it's the new Codex GOTY.

 

[typical user]

Watching currently ManyATrueNerd video on Fo76. Dialog window is now properly done... Which took them what 4 years? Modders had to jury-rig this for Fo4. There are still skill tags on dialog window which is . That's one thing I do not like in FoNV - ruins immersion and makes you want to minmax, but thankfully you cannot be a jack of all trades. I don't like camera zoom-in, gives me Fo3 vibes and urge to puke. NPCs still live in trashed places and the lore is still utter garbage. I also don't like that there was nuclear war yet the forest looks all dandy.

This re-release just shows that there are devs that do realize what are the issues with Fallout series but Hodd and other dicks live in their Bioware-like ego-bubble and desacrating corpse for fat stacks of cash.
