Game looks like it could be fun, although all the gameplay videos are in poopy 30 FPS and you can't really tell how much or how good the content is. I like the mutation system though

Yeah it looks like Fallout with multiplayer. It is what I hoped for and looks good.

For example, here's an article by beloved video game publication Newsweek!

What follows is a solid gameplay loop. You go to a cool place, fight, get loot and then craft things. If it sounds repetitive, it’s not (much).

MATN's video is up as well, it's an hour of game play:

Looks good to me, though obviously they were invited by Bethesda so you kind of have to take it with a grain of salt.

edit: not sure if this has been mentioned before, but weapon condition/degredation is back in.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
According to MATN, there's a pacifist flag you can turn on that just makes you immune to PvP for as long as you have it up.


So there's that, at least.

so are there quests in the game? I don't mean quests like Preston coming up to you and saying "Another settlement needs your help", i mean unique npcs with their own situations they need help with.

Uhh yeah kinda. It seems like all the NPCs are dead - but they still give you quests. MATN has shown off a couple where you find some dead bodies with some holotapes, or a terminal or whatever, and it says go here, do this, collect that, return back etc. which is how 99% of quests in Fallout work anyway.

I'm starting to wonder if there are no live NPCs because people would meltdown about not being able to kill them and removing access to quests from other players.

This looks like a very typical Asian MMO to my uneducated eyes, except with Fallout 4 assets.

They need to make the animation of characters more reactive. Like when the character is looking at menus, have the character looking at the computer in the arm, and extensive idle animations thar included things like checking the weapons.

so basically a bunch of treasure hunts

Thats what I was thinking, and prolly why I won't get the game. The question I ask in Rust, "what is there to do once you've got the good gear" receives the answer I have for MMOs, "idk, raids?"

i mean, i watched two people using a crafting station in a video two minutes ago, so maybe it's just a janky interaction.

I must admit, the videos did nothing to improve my expectations. "Like Fallout 4, but it's just the radiant quests and collecting random junk is now the other main half part of the gameplay - oh and I guess you're doing it in co-op" gives me an anxiety itch just thinking about it.

in matn's video, he was fighting (and killing) enemies 15-20 levels up from him, and not in the very annoying 'break this deathclaw's ai and shoot him with 200 9mm shots' way.

I don't really understand this viewpoint because the Bethesda Fallouts have been pretty mediocre. Are people really disappointed they didn't make Fallout 5 after releasing Fallout 4, which wasn't very good?

I have low expectations for anything made by Bethesda, but I'm honestly just curious what a Bethesda multiplayer game looks like

theoretically, in a multiplayer game there shouldn't be any level scaling. unless they somehow average out player levels

i didn't mean like, level scaling in the Bethesdatm way. i just meant the damage that you do to enemies higher level than you isn't as pitiful.
