15 Things We Hope To See In Fallout 76

We’re not fully sure what Fallout 76 is- rumors speculate it will be something different from traditional Bethesda RPGs, but true to them regardless. But what we do know is that it is a new Fallout game, so there are some expectations we have from it. You know, some things the game needs, or we can’t really call it a true Fallout game. And then there are some expectations we have in response to what we are hearing from the rumors- expectations that could make this Fallout game stand out in all the good ways. This list is about all of our expectations.

NARRATIVE FOCUS

In today’s era of shared worlds and competitive multiplayer-focused games, when the value of story driven games has become a hotly debated topic, Bethesda has been a stalwart supporter of the latter. Obviously, when reports emerged suggesting that Fallout 76 will be an online-focused game, people lost their shit- to put it mildly. However, newer reports also suggest that in spite of that, the game will still have a narrative focus. And that is exactly what we want from it- online and focus on story aren’t mutually exclusive things, and we’d love to see Fallout 76 be driven by story regardless of whether its an online game or a single player one.
