What are their opinions on people of colour?

I love Fallout but I’m not the least bit interested in multiplayer either for ES or Fallout. Not even a little co-op, gently caress that noise. I do hope that a proper Fallout 5 is still released at some point.

If this is anything at all like Conan Exiles, I'm hyped. Conan is a great example (buggy as it might be) of how online PvP and survival/crafting should work.

Bethsoft has severely misread the crowd if they genuinely believe people play Fallout for the camaraderie that comes with palling around with a bunch of people

Never have I played Fallout only to sigh wistfully because Goku_Weedlord_420 isn't clomping along next to me in the power armor he stole from JohnnyAuts and his massive hundred-hour-playtime home base. Not once.

I hope there are "coop only" servers where people can't destroy you or your poo poo, though.

Worst case, I can hope someone mods the game world into Fallout 4 somewhat like Tale Of Two Wastelands.

From the sound of it logging in is seamless and you have little control over it (though obviously you can invite friends, and there'll be an option to play alone). "Players won't even see servers" was the quote I think.

When in doubt, err on the side of Awesome!

I am 100% the target audience for that stupid $200 preorder with the helmet but I really don't want to play a game full of PVP hell where I log in to find my home base nuked or have to deal with dozens of griefing assholes.

Just confirm coop only servers Bethesda. Do that and you'll have my $200. I'll even buy that goddamn pip-boy kit from thinkgeek.

Hopefully the solo/mp will be implemented like elite: dangerous where you can switch from solo, solo-group, and open world. Hopefully nothing else about this game resembles elite: dangerous.

I am curious how they'll square being able to build anywhere with having shared servers. (Imagine logging in, spending an hour building a house, re-logging in the next day to find someone else had used the same patch of land). Are you tied to specific server? I doubt it, cause you'd end up with a bunch of mostly dead servers.

Todd says something about being able to pick up anything you build, but settlements are so dependent on the land they're built on that that would inevitably cause a thousand problems.

E: also Bethesda save files get enormous. A lot of that is going to have to be saved on a server.

You know how (Or if you don't) Ready Player One had a really moronic sounding thing where like, someone could buy an item that kills EVERYONE in a zone or whatever? And the game was shown like this somehow wouldn't be a daily occurrence? I bet this is gonna be the reality of that stupid writing, it's either that or it'll actually be something completely toothless.

Sounds like it takes a lot to get a nuke and you can possibly only hit landmarks. But this then creates a crater with rare loot for you and everybody else to go after. Sort of like the dark zone in The Division.

Yeah, apparently the War itself didn't wreck the place, the Collapse Of Civilization after did. According to this new timeline they've just pulled out of their rear end.

So cold war paranoia wasn't the cause of the fall of man, weedlordbonerhitler grinding for loot was.

loving Hell, has anyone at Bethesda -read a synopsis- of Fallout, much less played it?

And its just happenstance that vault 111 had an overseer dedicated to the vault co cause and refused to open vault after 180 days? Under the circumstance that he would also die of starvation.

Just downloaded Fallout Shelter on PS4 and it seems pretty inoffensive as far as free to play games go, unless there's some huge grind that shows up later on I'm having a pretty nice time with it.

I should mention there's also a (free) PS+ DLC pack that gets you 5 of the lunchboxes, a 6 pack of Quantom and 1 pet and Mr Handy box, so there's that.

It gets grindy later when you start doing missions.

It really doesn't make any sense for there to be human npcs running around since you're the first vault that opens post war. There should probably be some non feral ghouls about but who the hell knows at this point.
