Fallout 76 has been getting free dlc every three months since release. It’s packed with content 😍

I played that once and didn’t like it. I was trying to play on my own single player, and kept seeing players running around in stupid outfits and it took me out of it

Is there a mod that would decouple it from online play entirely? My biggest gripe with 76 is that the enemy behavior is janky as fuck because of lag; the monsters shouldn’t be rubber-banding when I’m in a solo room.

Can you even play solo without anyone around? I tried but I kept seeing other players in stupid outfits running around and it was annoying. I just want to play it as if it’s any other fallout, on my own

Yeah it’s just a private server basically. You’re still connecting to a server though, and the monsters must be server side because they slide around like crazy. It’s infuriating, and literally the only thing that keeps me from enjoying it.

Fallout 76 has a lot of good content in it, the Wastelanders DLC was pretty awesome overall.

I want to play 4 but i also want to play with proper VATS…

Is there an option or a mod for this?

If i wanted to play a shooting game, i would play FPS.

When you say “proper VATS” are you referring to Fallout 1 & 2?

Even FO:3 and FO:NV vats is fine

Anything that doesnt force me to play like an FPS. Anything that pauses combat fully… Or better yet make it fully turn based

I don’t remember Fallout 4 VATS being any different from 3 or NV

I wonder how many of them are just getting the games to learn who the hell the factions are because the show really didn’t say a helluva lot. I mean shit, they had a big reveal about one in the end, and if I hadn’t known them from the game the impact would have been lost entirely.

It’s definitely awesome as a fan. I’m interested in how non-fans enjoyed it though.

That’s pretty on brand though. You can definitely complete the games without really learning much faction lore at all if you want. It’s there for people who want it, but the basic story barely even scratches the surface of you don’t do the extra reading.

My brother never played fallout, the show left him wanting to find out more about the world, so I guess that’s why they were somewhat vague. Also leaves more to explore in season 2

It really shows the relative incompetence of MS/Bethesda how we didn’t get a new game or at least a remake next to the show (like Sony did with TLOU). They have a great universe, and now it’s more popular than ever, millions would be happy to pay for a modern Fallout game, me included.

Edit: or maybe they are just focusing on milking F76, which is still a bad choice, but at least has some (corporate) logic.

They’re doing a next gen update for FO4. I imagine that most of their resources are going into Skyrim’s successor

My roommate just bought the 3, 4, and New Vegas and asked me for the best play order to play the series in.

I just gave her the starter order of 3 then New Vegas and then to ask me if she wants to really dive into the vault afterwards.

Just 1 episode with me slightly complaining about lore during it and she bought the games. Looked beautiful, but too much 76.
