Fallout 76

Yea it's almost bizzare how the Hardcore fallout people are opposed to any attempt at launching that universe into the online space.

Think of how awesome it would be to scavenge items with a couple bros, go kill a camp and then go push in another squads shit in with a rusty pipe rifle you just crafted, as your buddy comes through the back after lockpicking their fortified position to steal the rest of their shit.

Better yet, you combine the two and watch as a Deathclaw comes out of fucking nowhere and decimates your opponent before skullfucking you.

FOnline: Reloaded was a pretty good thing.

cause that’s not fallout(online that is) plus the fact that they’re bring back the settlement/base building shit is lame.

The settlement/base building thing was the best thing about Fallout 4.

Anyone who disagrees is categorically retarded.

Lord knows its what my friend does in his game. Then he bugs me to come watch his game so he can show it off on a 10 second delay.

Yeah, Fallout 4 was just the same combat system that’s been beaten to death, with a shitty story. And even worse companions, But the crafting and base building was so fucking amazing it turned what could have been a tired rehash into solid gold.

I refuse to accept any other timeline for FO5 beyond one where the Institute wins.

Yeah, At its core you could say it was Minutemen vs Brotherhood in terms of them being military groups wanting control of the region. And Institute wanted to control synths, Railroad help synths.

But in the end they couldnt weave two separate arcs and just said PICK A GROUP TO WIN IT ALL.

Vegas was the one that made most sense. Pick a group you want to control Vegas and the Dam, each had their own merits. Pitting t hem against each other made sense.

Do you aid the Evil Genius and jeep Vegas independent? Support the Stable Government take over? Turn it over to invading hoards of slavers to gain your own power, or just take everything over yourself.

I get the point on FO3 having the same means to an end for different sides. But the results and motivations were different, and in the context of single storylines made plenty of sense.

I still fail to understand how the Institute could lose...

Why would the Underground want to blow up the Institute? Their whole thing is to help Synths. So lets make sure no-others can be made!

I can understand the BoS wiping out everyone in the Institute, but blowing up all of that INSANELY ADVANCED tech? No frelling way.

The Minutemen would wipe out the Institute... but blow it up? It could house thousands of people and provide power/food/clean water for the entire Boston area.

Yeah my love for Fallout 4 was sure as shit not based upon the main story. It was awful, and yeah it was the same thing across all factions, just reskinned. Join us, and fuck everyone else and kill them. They were all diametrically opposed over synths, and how they should be viewed, and there were no grays. I really wish they'd quit trying to have a "main story" in these games and just focus on the smaller stuff. I have no idea how to phrase it but instead of it being akin to reading one epic novel. Have it be more of a series of shorter stories based in the same world. Then have a spin off just like New Vegas where it is a smaller world with actual in depth writing with a full array of choices, just like the original 2 Fallouts.

My disdain for online is not based in being opposed to an online version of fallout coming out at all. It's just I would be bummed if the main team was tied up in making it. ESO was not developed by BGS. So it was no big deal to me. The people who enjoy MMO's and like the ES world, had something to play. That's awesome. But the team making the games I like were not involved directly and was hopefully working on something for my tastes. That would be my only reason for being bummed at an online Fallout or MMO Fallout.

End of the day, it is better we dont get another main Fallout title so soon after the last one. I would rather they take their time and get a solid engine going vs. FO5 with pretty much slightly tweaked FO4 tech because it has only been a few years.

It probably takes them a long time to figure out how to maximize the difference between what the option wheel says and what your character actually says when you choose that option.

I actually think this may be the reason why they are "delaying" announcing any new open world RPG that is a major release. Just from tidbits, especially in response to questions on TES VI, it seems they are acknowledging that their engine just can't handle what they have in mind. They may have felt Starfield could have been ok running Creation engine or Gamebryo or whatever their engine is called, but even found that it would be hampered to. Or at least that's my hope anyway. As much as I loved Fallout 4 and Skyrim, there is no denying that engine has some serious issues outside of the ease of modding.

(and yes regardless 2018 is still way too soon for a Fallout 5 no question)

Guess I’m the only one that think the base building was the least fun thing in the game, but overall I don’t love FO4

But we will be able to build our own moonshine still and a stage for our bluegrass band!
