"But Fallout 76 is in fact an online survival RPG that’s heavily inspired by games like DayZ and Rust, according to three people familiar with the project."

Allegedly.

"The Internet famous Doctor Glyndwr, you may have seen him present in 2018 at Google's I/O, to establish credentials of his intelligence, and his bona fide influencer status on the Internet, once commented that the worst thing, no, sorry, that is wrong, the most monstrous thing MaliA has ever said was expressing doubt at a canine sidekick being a good thing in a video game. With that in mind, and will say it again, as it bears repeating, Internet savant and application process troubleshooting genius lecturer Doctor Glyndwr has said, in his opinion,the most monstrous thing MaliA thinks is animal companions are overrated, with this words ringing in yours ears, a clarion bell of considered thought, do yu really think he ever said to Mr Dave ""Look at this picture of me and a sink", your honor? THE DEFENCE RESTS"

So, this is indeed an instanced online game. If it allows private instances it could be amazing. If you have to share the world with randos, it'll be griefer central.

Yeah.
All griefers, all the time. From the videos, they also expect baddies to be loners for some reason. Expect full teams of griefers, especially as it appears you need a team to use the nukes...

I thought this was always the case too until I played Sea of Thieves. Excuse the pun, but maybe the tides are changing? Perhaps randos can work together?

The difference here is that it's encouraging base building, and PvP raiding. The two don't mix well.

Confirmed online only, and no NPCs at all. PVP some sort of opt-in.

Neither can John, that's never stopped him before. And given how much he disliked some of the additions to FO4 he's just spent a stupid amount of money on something he'll almost certainly hate.

Ironically it may be the game I hate lol, not the toys.

I've got every box set released, apart from one (the 2008 pip boy ed with the clock that always broke) because $700 was too much. I have all of the others. FO3 lunchbox, FO3 BOS, FONV, FO4 PB and the mini nuke and etc. It is literally the only thing I collect that is intended for that purpose. Oh and about a half dozen Tshirts, socks, bottle openers, face masks, books, posters etc. Still got the 1/4" thick POS display for FONV (the one only large Gamestop stores got) so yeah, gotta have this one.

It will take something incredibly simple for me to love this game.

Either some one will hack/mod it to run on private servers (like you can with nearly every other co op game) which will be great. My friend and I both run our own L4D servers because we got sick of landing on servers with stupid cheats on. Or Bethesda will cave and release the software to host a private server. If neither happen? yeah, I could be a bit screwed.

We'll see. FO3 was the first RPG of any type or sort I had ever played. And it was this place that got me into it and gave me help and advice etc. Never looked back.. So you never know, you may be able to treat an old ASD new tricks.

In short?

- No offline
- Playing 'Solo' will still have you seeing other players
- No NPCs, excluding robots
- PvP is still being tweaked to avoid greifing
- Modding will be present in 76 but not at launch*
- Private servers will happen*
- Starfield in Production (Playable State) & TES VI is in Pre-Production

Noting the stars I added.

So basically? I will get my wish. I've got 8 guys already pre ordered, so at some point I will either turn one of my existing rigs into a server or make one. I look forward to visiting the BEEX wasteland :D

The cheapest way is to not. Fuck pre-ordering and the bullshit it brings with it.

Plus, there is always a chance that it'll suck (or have buggy/broken online play or whatever) so you might as well wait for the reviews.

With the BETA I doubt you would even have to wait that long tbh.

The GF absolutely loves fallout, she buys everything so I'll definitely be playing it on release, but it'll be a case of watching for reviews of the beta beforehand.

I imagine I will as well, but I really hope between now and then they'll be up front about a lot of the decisions they're making and allow time to change the approach if necessary.

Todd seemed to imply the beta would be a way for them to iron out the cracks, and it sounds (from the documentary I linked above) that they'll see what happens for a bit and then adapt from there. There's a whole studio that's gonna support it so hopefully it'll run and keep being fun and interesting for a while, with free DLC too. Question is though do I PC or PS4? Never played fallout on the PC.

Note that the only way any game has ever been griefer-proofed, to my knowledge, is private instances.

I've listened to a couple of interviews and he sounds rather like a guy making it up as he goes along. I think if they had a grand master plan to make it griefer-proof, he'd be telling people to neutralise the FUD. I think there's a worrying chance this is a shitshow on public servers. I've heard him veering from "death isn't bad, you don't lose any of your stuff, it won't get frustrating" to "we want some drama from PvP." Those are mutually incompatible. There's either something at risk when a player comes after you, or there isn't.

This was when we told Nase there was a specific cheevo for running up to the witch and shooting her in the head with the basic pistol.

At best this is "we have some genuinely good ideas for a multiplayer game and we want to leverage the Fallout IP for it". At the much more likely worst we have, "We want a multiplayer game because we hear they make much more money and, wait, what's the most popular thing we own..."

Compared to the interviews with Chris Roberts about Star Citizen, Todd sounds like he's already got everything developed and ready to launch ;)
