Holy shit. Why not publish the patched version directly? With such a huge patch, it's bound to be as big as the actual game itself.Day one patch announced.
54gb reportedly.
My Internet is quick as fuck, but even I would be pissed off, if I had to download that much crap to play a game.

Anyone expecting for a Bethesda game to function on day one deserves to have an awful experience with the game.

Not interested in discussing how realistic the setting is when super mutants and ghouls exist

Probably because the game went gold before the public beta and copies are already being churned out in the Chinese factories. Bethesda probably factored on a half decent patch because in the private testing the game is moderately stable even under heavy loads. But they missed crap like the fps glitch.
Oh and the base game according to, I think Ranger Dave was 48gb. So it's bigger than the base game.

All the data is stored in neat little 4gb .BA2 files, so if they want to change say 1mb of data in a single 4gb .BA2 file they're just going to make you download the newest version of that 4gb .BA2 file. Ultimately this 54gb patch file could be making less than 1mb worth of actual changes to the games files.
It's worth noting the modding community has already created a program to edit .BA2 files.

I kinda hope there isn't anti-cheat, me and my buddies have already been joking about KKK mod themed servers, porn mod dating sim servers and Shrek mod themed servers. It'd be a glorious cacophony of shitposts

I hope someone actually does an anlysis of this game and figures out how much the patch actually does change. Would be hilarious to find out the tweaks themselves come down to some ridiculous number and this enormous patch is just Bethesda being lazy fucks.

The idea of porn mod dating servers being in because of no anti-cheat would make this come to mind:

Apparently the game is so fucked that some people who got into the beta via the friend codes can't uninstall it.

That's not a bug. The quality of Bethesda games is now so low the only way they can get people to play them is through force.

I’d say forcing a 50gb update instead of a 20mb delta patch is the most Bethesda thing possible but not even testing their uninstaller, holy shit.
If we wind up seeing a 4gb patch every time anything changes codeside this is going to be a clusterfuck to outshine Simcity Online.

The problem is that there really is no easy way to "slipstream" updates for the engine Bethseda uses.
Bethseda packs it's game resources in BSA/BA2 files that are basically a customized compressed archive, and to "slipstream"delta changes would involve on the spot decompression of the archives, patching in changes to the original archives, then bundling it back up and leaving it on the target computer.
This is obviously not an option on Steam or their own launcher, which does not have the ability to do this sort of thing on the fly.

The fuck Bethesda? Ever heard of compression?

Scary thing is that that probably is the compressed version.
Bethseda archives generally don't use the best compression available anyway to prevent load times from chugging too hard, and they have a bad habit of not optimizing the file formats they use either.

Yeah, I'm just skipping over this one completely. After the noticeably watered-down Fallout 4, I'm not really enthused about any of their future titles anymore, especially not with their shambling zombie of an engine.

All else notwithstanding, I can't see Fallout 76's playerbase lasting for any longer than it takes for most players to hit level cap and finish all of the quests. Its gameplay is most analogous to survival games like Rust, ARK and DayZ but it doesn't share their core replayability because the PVP and base building (the only features with meaningful replay value) has no risk and no reward besides griefing since the anti-grief mechanics punish players for killing anybody (any old school MMO player could've told them this would happen).
The game's only long-term hope is modded private servers, but again unlike other survival games Bethesda won't allow them because non-public servers would interfere with their clumsy monetization.

So, what's the big deal? Just trigger the bug that deletes the entire game from your harddrive, then.
