Fallout series

I can see whatever game they announce being a massive hit if that's the case. They'll make sure to reel him in enough to stop another Lonesome Road from happening while still getting him to write well enough to please everyone. Just hope they improve on or don't change 4's combat.

Yeah, he's a good writer, but that Tunneler horseshit shouldn't be brought up again.

Shit, give him a new region, and I'll be happy to have him be apart of the new Fallout.

He seems like he'd enjoy writing something in the east coast. It's still processing from Apocalyptic to Post-Apocalyptic. There's a lot of space he can work with and lore he could fit in away from the developed West Coast. No need for tunneler-esque shit to bring everything back to zero.

So Fallout 76 got teased just now. No real gameplay shown yet, but there are rumours that it's gonna be, well...

So it's heeeeeeeeere.

Fallout: 76.

While the trailer didn't actually tell you much at all here's what I can piece together:

The Game is likely set in 2097. Vault 76 has been mentioned in all previous bethesda games to date as one of 17 control vaults, set to open 20 years after the bombs drop. It was mentioned in F3, Mothership Zeta and Fallout 4. This would make it the single earliest game ever set in the Fallout timeline.

It's within the Washington area, but actually a tad further out, likely around Martinsburg just outside the D.C area in West Virginia (hence the song).

There's no G.E.C.K within the vault so no setting it up and watching a small oasis grow (a la Vault 21).

Settlement building is going to be quite a big part of this game again. (It was super popular with most who bought F4) and this is very much the "setting up of the wasteland" so expect yourself finding a few highly "themed" settlements. Also expect a few mods able to just come straight over on this, namely the Creation Club ones.

Little in the way of the older factions, so hopefully more variety in your raiders and other groups who just found ways to scrape by. Maybe some factions retconned that would make a lot of sense, like the Children of Atom, could even be an origin story for them in here.

Real hideous blow-by-blow discovery of wasteland stuff like Ghouls, Supermutants etc.

Vault 76 was supposed to have 500 or so people in it, how this will "scale" in the game is unknown but I suspect you'll be one of the last groups to leave the Vault only to find a lot of stuff gone to shit, or you're the Vault Tech employee expected to see how things go after everyone has been turfed out for a few months.

Avellone is rumoured to have had major input on this game, meaning maybe this is him and Howard getting together in the mother of all prequels.

Have to remember, Todd apparently let it slip years ago that they'd already begun working on the next Fallout game as they finished up the main body of Fallout 4, so it's had at least 3 years development time and this is the core crew that has tackled it, not one of the newer satellite studios as many people had expected and speculated.

The best thing is just to treat the Fallout series as Fallout 1, 2 & New Vegas and maybe Tactics and just pretend that no other Fallout games exist or ever will exist. That way when Bethesda release their multiplayer, lootbox filled base building game you won't feel like someone just took a gigantic dump on something you love.

Starfield is an oddity that probably still isn't being worked on properly even now, Fallout 76 clearly isn't a rust clone, and there's no Fallout MMO in development.

The latter has been predicted since 2012 when Bethesda saw the upcoming dumpster fire that was Masthead's Fallout Online and took everyone to court to wrench the rights back and shut it all down, people were saying then that it was because they had their own plans for a Fallout MMO. They instead went for TES Online and that nearly died a death until they lucked out on just charging for ancillaries, then it suddenly made them money.

Remember that hideously long post we had about Half Life 2: Episode 3 that rather minimised the main fucking teased plot point of Episode 2 of the Borealis and instead was a reheat of Episode 2 with a wide open map world and an upgradable car? Or how about the other post on V about Episode 3 where it was going to basically combine with Portal because "Lol Aperture Science!"?

/v/ is full of shitposters writing out their fantasies and dumbasses shitting on stuff they don't like.

Close but no cigar. On a side note, the pip boy looks a lot like fallout 1/2 style but wrist mounted. It's even got the wait bell and buttons.

Well damn.

Wait, why is it 25 years later instead of the control vault 20 years mandate? Does that mean the game's set 5 years after everyone's been turfed out? That might make things a bit more interesting and a little less "haha, you gotta build the whole fucking wasteland."?

Bethesda doesn't give a flying fuck about the lore. Expect that cunt Pete Hines to say "haha it's just a typo lol, you believe in ghouls but care about consistency are you fucking stupid ; )))))"

EDIT: stop rating me autistic pete i swear to christ i know its you

That, or the more likely thing being that Bethesda can't get it's own stories straight (Looking at you, ESO).
