Fallout 76 - Roadmap For 2019
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
It would be wonderful but no hopes. NPC's could really only work in a co op fallout and even there not as well as in a true singleplayer RPG experience.
What do you think Bethesda's expectations are for Fallout 76? It failed to take off, it was critically panned, and it's destroyed their reputation. With The Division 2 coming out soon, and Anthem released, is it realistic to think the audience is going to grow? The roadmap looks like the kind of roadmap you'd make if your game was doing well. It doesn't seem like it addresses any of the complaints people who have left the game had.
no they don't. anthem and fallout shouldn't have released in the state that they did
I still play the game and the roadmap clearly addresses a lot of the complaints we have. Player vending, legendary scrapping, camp decoration and prestige are big ones for me. I have less than 0 interest in ever playing Anthem and The Division 2 and I don't feel like these games are even all that similar to F76 tbh. If I had to play a looter shooter, I'd still play Destiny 2 over them.
yeah let's clap for developers that release games not completed and charge full price for shit. very commendable indeed.
Like the roadmap, but the way that they handle balancing and changes in the game, it still won't bring me back. Just the fact that they got their builds mixed up for major updates and the fact that all they ever do is nerf shit compared to actually making weak things better does not make me want to come back.
Nice, grabbed a copy a couple of weeks ago for like 12$. Had fun and will be back for more content.
Great to see they're still supporting it

I hope Bethesda can make a No Mans Sky type comeback.
Now if they come out at E3 and apoligize sincerely about the game, I might actually get it.

That was kind of my point. The roadmap seems to address the issues of people still playing the game. That's good for those players. Those complaints should be addressed. I was just wondering if Bethesda is fine with the current player base and is trying to keep them engaged, or if they plan to try and expand the audience and pick up some of the more traditional fan base.
The roadmap seems to indicate they're not going to try any of the more radical, or drastic things to broaden its appeal. There's no mention of mod support or private servers. There's no mention of populating the wasteland with traditional NPCs.
Awesome, thanks! And Chloe is one of my favorite video game characters ever!
Thanks! Good to know, im still interested in trying it out. Kinda holding out to see if it ever goes on game pass but might grab it when price is very low

Or they could make an untroubled release and still lay out a roadmap.
Any fool can lay out a roadmap.
Whoo man do they have their work cut out for them. Honestly i bought the game at release and didn't even bother playing it as of yet, but considering the changes they're going to be making, i'll have to at least try it out. Maybe after everything is out.
Until one of these is called the we added npcs everyone look at our npcs and npc interaction quests and dialogue update no dice for me
so was there any follow up to all the retail stores trying to give this game away for free with purchases of other items or outright removing them from shelves?
This sounds very nice. I left the game for over two months and came back a week and a half ago, I'm having a lot of fun. I missed like four updates and I can tell that the game is a lot more responsive.
I just glossed over it, but you will be able to use clutter items as decoration, finally! I've been asking for a non-modded version of this feature since Fallout 4. Also, that little image with the Wastelanders update seems to indicate some sort of robot companion? Fingers crossed for automatron customization from Fo4.
I got Fallout 76 at launch but bailed a few hours in, because it was a fucking shitshow, but this roadmap suggests that there's some cool stuff planned for the game coming up. Bethesda's handling of the game has been a train wreck so far, and this doesn't absolve them, but if they follow through on the stuff they are planning here, they could start to pull the game up to the initial promise of its potential, if nothing else.
I watched the Joseph Anderson video about the game and it actually kinda made me want to get the game. The locations seem pretty cool and the absence of NPCs doesn't actually sound that bad, considering how bad Bethesda's writing has been since basically Morrowind.
I'm just kinda worried about it still being incredibly buggy and about it not performing very well on my PC.

Well...Id hate to see a favorite franchise die. Here's hoping they can turn this around but as a WV native I can tell you that around here everyone is pretty much done with it and try not to mention it. It was like a black eye being added to an already battered frame. Folks dont talk about it because they thought they'd finally have something cool to boast about around here.
Hope it turns around but its probably too late for anyone here to give it a shot. They were pretty upset by this.

This. I want to like both Anthem and Fallout 76, but I squarely reserve any hope or props until AFTER the roadmaps have been executed.
There are 280 viewers watching Fallout 76 right now on Twitch. 10 less than Fallout 4. There seems to be zero interest in this anymore.
When are NPCs and meaningful quests that involves the player character in the narrative coming?
