Will Fallout 76’s New Updates Actually Be Good?
Fallout 76 seems to be finding increasingly sure footing after its disappointing launch, and soon it will introduce two updates that will “fundamentally change the game”.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of making the game feel more alive with actual living NPCs and dialogue choices that make the Appalachian wasteland feel meaningful. In fact, I wish these features had been incorporated from the very beginning.
However, unless this was planned from the game’s inception, Bethesda is fundamentally changing a world, atmosphere, and gameplay loop that it’s been feverishly fixing for the past seven months.
Will Wastelanders and Nuclear Winter snap nicely in place on top of the existing Fallout 76 foundation? Is a new Battle Royale the next thing that Fallout 76 needs?
