Back Hack posted:Any of the videos, why do you think there are dozen or so people in the demo running around in the same Red Rocket jumpsuit? Because there is a corpse right next to the entrance to the vault with it. It was pretty glaring in the first Responders' church too, you see all kinds of loot just laying around in there with several people obviously running around grabbing everything that's not nailed down, but none of it gets pick up until the person recording the video picks stuff up. If you loot a corpse (or a box, or anything that is interact-able, then every other player can also loot that same box. However, if you see a gun that is propped up against the wall, the first person to grab it, gets it and then it's gone.

Mr Hootington posted:There are robot trader npcs and vending machines for ammo and meds that we have seen. Ahhh, that makes sense. Still wondering how absurdly broken the basic economy will be, though maybe the inherent brokenness of Bethesda economies and MMO economies will somehow cancel each other out and it will just work out?

Vending machines and robots have infinite amounts of basic goods so they serve largely as cap sinks. That won't work, but it's an effort.

Worth noting players can't set the price of items they're selling. It's either a default value or based on some calculation, I don't remember.

You're probably right, but my reaction was that it was cool to see player groups coordinate wardrobe choices. Like an emergent tunnel snakes or atom cats gang.

Wonder if they'll allow custom logo uploading, like a lot of online games do. Although, afaik, 76 has no player clans or more structured group organization.

Blank Holotapes... I wonder if we'll be able to make our own fetch quests (with hopefully fixed rewards, because I'd hate to have to get 50 yao guai asses and only get six caps in return) I'm sure that won't backfire horribly

Bethesda probably shouldn't care because Fallout fans are the worst, I'm just saying the assumption it's not part of the story somehow is a really boring way to think about the game

Donovan Trip posted:Maybe whatever is going on between vault tec and the former government is important enough that the brotherhood's first task is getting to the silos in West Virginia? Well since they are supposed to be founded on the basis of the remaining mobile power-armored infantry, they could theoretically be securing and checking missile storages/silos which might have not fired or house weird poo poo that was only labeled "missile silo". They also are the only army branch which is relatively immune to the radiation so this might not even be a huge stretch of the imagination. Does not explain why they went AWOL, though.

caps on caps on caps posted:All 3d Fallouts had moments where the story got somewhat stupid or broken, but in many cases things also worked out well. New Vegas, in my playthrough, was fantastic. Fallout 4 was a lot of fun also. F3 I think as well. Maybe I dont go out of my way to break the storyline or something, but I thought it was pretty dope. You remember Vault 11 in New Vegas? Or any dead vault really. Or the Survivalists logs? Or 90% of Big MT or the Divide? Almost no NPCs in desolate locales, but absolutely brimming with story and mystery. Maybe Bethesda won't do as well, but it's not fundamentally un-Fallout to set things up the way they have. I'm really looking forward to it myself.

I don't get why making a fallout game in a different genre is so bad? FO4 came out in 2015, not that long ago. I'm actually into a rust/days/7 days to die sort of game in the universe.

Game looks bad. Not 'this game is a different genre than what I want'. I mean the game just looks really shoddily put together based on everything I've seen. Yuck.
