Choosing West Virginia was likely a significant challenge to the team. They pick one of the least populated, least known states, so they absolutely had their work cut out in creating an game environment that will promote interesting in-game experiences. It needs to overcome the challenge of selecting an environment that is relatively unknown to their user base. They could have taken the easy road and picked out of among dozens of more content-rich locales, but they went WV. Initially I was puzzled and disappointed; now I’m curious and am anticipating how the environment and players will interact in the making of the story.

You don't need a specific city or real world landmarks for this kind of game. almost all of the points of interest are always going to be invented.

Bigger challenge is filling a map allegedly four times bigger than FO4's, whilst keeping things relatively fresh (which 4 had problems with).

My favorite quests in most Bethesda games are sidequests and incidental stuff in computers and holotapes, if they've honed their staff entirely in on that sort of stuff plus crafting, base building, and interacting with other players, I dunno, it could be really fun? Bethesda has also said they'll be adding content on a weekly to monthly basis. I agree FO4 got stale but I find myself coming back to it over and over, if new things were randomly happening in it I don't think I'd ever really fully stop playing it which seems like the goal with 76.

It would be pretty near if they had parts where nature has moved back in, like you’re in a thick forest and suddenly there’s a town entangled in trees and ghouls start dropping from the branches.

Bethesda has said you can basically play incognito, but there are instanced group quests you can still party up with. They've also said you don't really show up on each others radar unless you're near proximity, however stealthy characters are even harder to detect.

Also of note, griefers become visible to everyone in the game and get a big bounty on their head, so imagine an entire server being able to sneak up on and hunt down the rear end in a top hat who keeps starting poo poo. Some other player interaction notes: you're able to set whatever price you want on goods when bartering, leaving lots of room to be helpful or be a dick. There are resource deposits in the game world (called Public Workshops) that you'll want to set your CAMP near, working with other players to mine these resources and defend from other players / NPCs is implied. While there aren't human NPCs, there are recently radiated ghouls known as the scorched, as well as robots (and possibly super mutants) that interact with the players, though no one knows how yet. The new ghoul faction can fire guns and talk so they're basically raiders. Donovan Trip fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Oct 3, 2018 |

They describe the multiplayer similar to Sea of Pirates, very large map, super small playerbase, randoms will rarelly find other randows while exploring. Something like this could be true if theres dungeons or big buildings to explore. But if theres static bases and people craft in craft stations, I imagine finding people would be easy. ( camp the entrance with a sniper rifle, waiting for somebody to go outside to kill him. )

It that results in me being able to gently caress around and do whatever, punctuated by moments of extreme terror a la DayZ when I realize a player is nearby, that can be fun.

It was also the inspiration behind Silent Hill. I’m guessing that in turn might be 76’s “Burning Mine”.

Wrr posted:The only thing I know about West Virginia is Mothman & The McElroys and if there isn't a lot of those two things I'm gonna flip. How do you not know about the Flatwoods Monster?! Better yet, how has nobody brought up the Phantom of Flatwoods? Seriously thread, you're disappointing me. CRYPTID CHAT TIME  quote:At 7:15 p.m. on September 12, 1952, two brothers, Edward and Fred May, and their friend Tommy Hyer said they saw a bright object cross the sky and land on the property of local farmer G. Bailey Fisher. The boys went to the home of Kathleen May, where they told their story. May, accompanied by the three boys, local children Neil Nunley and Ronnie Shaver, and West Virginia National Guardsman Eugene Lemon, went to the Fisher farm in an effort to locate whatever it was that the boys said they had seen. The group reached the top of a hill, where Nunley said they saw a pulsing red light. Lemon said he aimed a flashlight in that direction and momentarily saw a tall "man-like figure with a round, red face surrounded by a pointed, hood-like shape". Long story short, the Flatwoods Monster is intertwined with the UFO hysteria of the 1950's. Fallout 76 won't be the Braxton County Monster's video game debut, either! It was used several times in 80's and 90's as the boss of shoot-em-ups like Amagon for the NES and Space Harrier 2. It's even in Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask!

If anything I'd expect it to be painted in AND AMERICA SHOWED THOSE PINKO COMMIES WHAT FOR without a hint of irony of criticism. I believe The Greenbrier has been confirmed, and some E3 footage sure looked a lot like Moundsville Penitentiary. I spent a little time in that town and took the prison tour and even a few years ago it was pretty run down. There are also all the coal seam fires and gutted towns dotting the hills. This isn't even including the coal sludge coming out of every faucet in the house I tried, the walls shaking as the pipes protested before finally producing something clear enough to resemble water.
