I think letting other people be guinea pigs is for the best.
Mind you I'm not completely writing it off, I love the world of Fallout and I actually liked Fallout 4 for some reason.
I just think it might be a bit of a stinker

Exactly what I thought it'd be. A sandbox filled with cat shit. Another Conan Exiles etcetcetc. Even worse than another Battle Royale. With no plot other than a self governing world. Is Bethesda hosting the world's? Will it work like Sea of Thieves where you're tossed in a world with rando's, build up your shit, hope you find an exosuit, get your base nuked, start from scratch, do stupid redundant "another settlement needs your help" quests, with only cosmetic bullshit as rewards? I mean, even if you got a collector hold in an actual bunker that can't be infiltrated, I don't need a trophy room, I need a fucking story, God fuckin dammit.
I really wonder what the fuck developers are thinking these days. Starfield, a space solo rpg, sounds a lot more promising, as long as it's not like Mass Effect, and mostly like a classical space shooter rpg kinna game with an actual story, especially not another No Man's Sky farming, crafting game.

This is the end of free mods boys, mark my words. Everything in FO76 will be cost money from their shitty cash shop.

Well, it's an online game with dedicated servers, so yeah, mods aren't happening for this one.

It's supposedly official servers only and somehow your progress or whatever carries over across servers. I imagine that just means your character progression. Lots of unanswered questions...

Too many salty fucks. Did any of you HONESTLY expect a full blown Fallout sequel so soon after 4? The thing launches this year for FFS. It is pretty clear from the trailer that a good chunk of the art assets are lifted from FO4 (the base stuff and the char models). The real test of the future of mods in the Fallout franchise is going to be Starfield or ES6, since those will be single player games. I mean, maybe FO76 will allow for mods for unofficial servers, but you have to be pretty careful in an online environment, otherwise someone will make a 100% nuke code drop mod or or free building mod or something else that would amount to hacking more or less in an online enviro.

Although counterpoint.
The first we heard of Fallout 76 was a week ago. And its being released in Nov of this year.
They seem to have taken up the policy of keeping their mouths shut, until the game is ready to drop.
ES6 and/or Starfield could easily be 2019.
Title alone does suggest Fallout76 is to be considered a spinoff, and yes, they probably realize its not for their core audience, and thus the tease was needed.
I'll admit I am a bit disappointed in what looks to be another survival open world game, with no real visible innovation. We'll see I guess. How do you balance the nukes? Every other one of these games has been totally shit at balancing the pvp. I was def hoping more for a single player, or Co-op survival builder, or city builder.

Didn't they say there would be a story to follow, ie objectives and the such? Did I just imagine that shit?

One thing I noticed from the nuke interface is it only allowed you to select certain targets. Unless random bases in the wilderness count as targets, then potentially nukes are limited to points of interest and the surrounding area. That could be the balance: If you build bases on points of interest to control them, then the tradeoff is your ass can get nuked. If your base is in the middle of nowhere, then maybe you're safe? We will find out more, but that was a possible takeaway from the video.
Having played plenty of these games before, I wouldn't be surprised if that is 100% how that mechanic works. Problem in many of these survival games is people always end up taking over POIs. If you introduce a mechanic that makes that a very high risk venture, then you reduce (in theory) the incidence rate and also provide a non-admin solution to making sure they don't stay camped by player bases forever.

If the game has a PVE only option I'm in with bells on. But that is not at all what Todd was describing, so if it is FFA sandbox ala Ultima, Rust etc, then I'm out. I really think this thing was shoe horned in as they are waiting for next gen for their "real" games and wanted something to fill that 5-7 year gap. Although they didn't even have a subtitle for ES VI, so that screams they knew this would bum a lot of people out so they wanted to ease the pain of this a little bit.

Yeah, I don't get it. A bunch of people bitching because they want the same boring shit repeated in every single game.
I'm excited about it.

They did say you can play solo and quest by yourself, OR you can play with and against other players. To me that sounds a lot like a single player experience, or a multiplayer experience and you get to choose. Can't imagine the story is going to be as good as past games though.
Either way I'm gonna play it and craft a power fist to punch my fuckin friends in the noggin while they're trying to do stuff
