A vast web of gameplay options is almost a pre-requisite for any games developed by Bethesda Game Studios, and though their upcoming Fallout 76 is bucking the trend in several ways, the availability of options in gameplay is something that will remain the same.
Bethesda’s Pete Hines recently took to Twitter to answer a bunch of fans’ questions about Fallout 76. When asked about whether different ammo types will take up different amounts of space in the inventory based on their weights, Hines confirmed that that would indeed be the case, but went on to list a few options for how that can be circumvented in the game, such as increasing your strength stat, using perk cards, and more.
Those options, however, won’t be available in all areas of the game. For instance, players won’t be able to select a difficulty setting of the game- which makes sense, since Fallout 76 is a shared-world game. Difficulty settings can’t really work in that kind of a title. Hines also confirmed that the loot players find in containers will be randomized, before going on the confirm that Fallout 76 will have plenty of voice acting for things such as holotapes, robots, and more.
Fallout 76 launches on November 14 for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Details on things such as instanced loot, base building, and a lot more have recently been revealed on the game, so be sure to read all about them.
