FALLOUT 76 TO BE RELEASED ON NOVEMBER 14, 2018!
So I was looking through the forum and didn't see a single thread about this magnificent series. So here it is. If you're here, I'm assuming you already know what it's about. But just in case you don't know:
Ever wondered what would have happened if the Cold War got hot, and everybody dropped atomic bombs on each other? That's Fallout. The first game takes place a little over 80 years after the world was devastated by nuclear warfare and portrays a dystopian wasteland built on the ruins of the United States. Fallout 2 took place just a couple of decades later, but when Bethesda took the franchise over, the timeline jumped forward: Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4 take place around 200 years after the bombs dropped.
It sounds grim, but it's surprisingly packed with humor and great music, while its engrossing open worlds are buoyed by solid RPG mechanics.[/SPOILER]
And here's everything we know about Fallout 76:
I've currently been replaying New Vegas, and honestly it's making me remember why it's my favorite. I've played mostly every Fallout game (minus Tactics and BoS) and dude, New Vegas. It puts 4 to shame definitely. Idk if I'm the only one who wasn't the biggest fan of 4, but... Anyway, yeah. General Fallout Discussion, tell us about your favorite factions, mods, reasons Fallout Online was the best MMO you've ever played, and so on.
Fallout 76 is a shared-world survival game that's 'entirely online'
Fallout 76 is the largest Fallout game ever made. It will be four times larger than Fallout 4, the last largest game in the series. It's also taking place in West Virginia. Developers recently confirmed a fast-travel feature.
New V.A.T.S. combat - "It doesn't slow time. But it lets you target and pick parts and all of that, but it's in real-time. It still works great. It's different, obviously." - Todd Howard
Bethesda describes it as a "softcore" survival game. Death doesn't mean loss of progression or of death of your character.
. Other players can help you explore the wasteland, or hunt you down and attack you to fight for land. You'll need land because you'll be able to build your own base and move it anywhere.
DLC will be free, but the game has microtransactions.
You can nuke other players.
Replacing the S.P.E.C.I.A.L., "perk cards" are earned and equipped to gain gameplay advantages, kinda like the ones in Friday the 13th, I'm guessing.
