Didn't realize this til much later, so me and my friend just do all quests together on his side and i go back and speed through them myself after. I enjoy the gameplay enough to play it by myself so it doesn't bother me, and we can shitpost together when we're on
Do you really need the subscription?
How long before I can build a decent looking vault from scratch without the disgusting base assets but a good clean vault?
Can you still get the stuff from the former season pass like Nuka Cola?
>Do you really need the subscription?
It is the worst part of the game that instead of giving you something worthwhile to subscribe for, it acts as a way to stop a planned inconvenience.
The trade off is that all updates and expansions are free for everyone.
The subscription gives you a much much larger scrap capacity. You will quickly hit the limit without it. Yes, technically, you don't *need* it, but the main draw of the game is crafting and base building, so you will be constantly blocked until you go farm more materials then hit the cap again. It's a shitty system but if you plan on engaging with the mechanics or make a cool base it is pretty essential to stop the purposeful and planned inconvenience.
>How long before I can build a decent looking vault from scratch without the disgusting base assets but a good clean vault?
That's too subjective to answer. A lot of people sell blueprints they already have unlocked in their vending machines pretty cheap though.
>Can you still get the stuff from the former season pass like Nuka Cola?
Yes either through the (revolving) atomic shop or with the bullion currency in-game. Another thing the sub gives you is a fair amount of atoms each month plus the ones you get by playing so it's not too rough. The problem is the waiting for the weekly shop resets. Also, completing the season pass takes up a ton of time so good luck playing anything else.
Honestly with all these flaws it's hard to recommend but there just aren't any other base building games like it.
>Some players don't do the challenges and instead, only get S.C.O.R.E. by using XP grinding techniques at West Tek. Players can complete scoreboards in around 15 hours this way. >If a player wishes to do the challenges regularly, it will take about a month and a half if a player finishes nearly every chlallenge. Players can do their dailies in around an hour each day, so this may take around 75 hours to finish a scoreboard.
15 hours of grinding every few months doesn't seem bad, but why even include the dailies and weeklies with how useless they are. The system seems like it needs an overhaul, but I guess they'd rather leave it as is than accidentally frick it up more.
>Do you really need the subscription?
If you plan on playing it seriously, then yes because you'll quickly face storage limits with the scrap capacity. It's just like ESO with it's ESO+ subscription that gives you access to the crafting bag. Bethesda fricks you over on storage capacity to sell you a subscription based solution.
Is this an rpg like Fallout 4 or is it an mmorpg-like? I dont even understand what genre this game is, I keep getting team messages in the corner and I started at level 20? what
The game was peak liminal kino with its depopulated map in its inception, but zoomers couldn’t handle not talking to dull as frick uninspired npc cutouts so they ruined the game about 2 years in.
>people are mad when rog mechanics don’t supersede all other mechanics in a a game sold as an rpg
It’s like being a subhuman moron who gets mad playing alpha protocol because they’re literally too stupid to understand gameplay mechanics
I started playing it today. I was suprised that I really didn't need to engage with base building at all and just play it like a Fallout game with people in silly hats showing up every now and then.
Seems like Bethesda has activated it's shilling machine with the show, every Fallout thread has ESLs trying to defend 76, Fallout 4 and even Starfield.
Not big vault doors, but you can build the standard vault-tec vault with its own interior space, yes. However, no one actually does because the loading screen is ungodly long even when its empty and on an m.2 drive.
I think the Enclave splinter in 76 is my favorite of the Bethesda Enclaves.

What quest lines are worth doing? I installed a few days and just keep running events for gear. Also, what is special about level 50 that every one keeps telling me that the game doesn't start until then?
Did they ever remove the level scaling again? It was always jarring to be a level 500 cumguzzler having to shoot a simple rat with 4 mini nukes and 2000 gatlin shots, while some level 10 moron right next to me would kill it in one hit with his fists
do you still have to have first to have shit like autoscrapping, a reasonable weight limit, private instances, etc? Those were all cardinal sins to me.
If anything just make them all drops from endgame content, it would not be hard at all to make it so nuke bosses drop a voucher for 1wk of specific 1st benefits, and make them tradable so people who pay for 1st can rack up ez caps and loot.
I'm just playing the free week, so I don't know that much but I can try to answer. >autoscrapping
You can bulk scrap junk at a workbench with a button (it won't scrap anything that's used in a recipe), and transfer all junk to stash with a button. I dunno if autoscrap was that or something else, but I haven't seen anything about scrap aside from the box when looking up stuff about 1st. >a reasonable weight limit
Storage box is 1200, and I heard people say weightmaxing builds can hold like 1500 on-person. It seems pretty easy to manage as long as you're not a big hoarder, but I don't know how much stuff I'll need later on. >private instances
Yeah, you need 1st for that.
Why so many threads?
What happened?
I liked playing FO76 but ran out of things to do once I got the best weapons in the game and bought every item that gold bullions could buy, I think I was like lvl 4 or 500
I was a little interested until I found out you can't actually play the main story quests with friends since it's all instanced
best not to think of it as a coop or multiplayer game, it's a singleplayer game with social elements
I literally don't give a frick about the story
if you can't quest with friends what's the point
Same. How tf do you make a game all about co-op and then forget to add co-op?
Didn't realize this til much later, so me and my friend just do all quests together on his side and i go back and speed through them myself after. I enjoy the gameplay enough to play it by myself so it doesn't bother me, and we can shitpost together when we're on
This is the best game, troons will disagree of course.

Thanks for the info
Us the ghillie suit in the bullion store yet?

The subscription is pretty much mandatory since they lock storage to it.
shitty zoomer game for cattle like OP who need tv shows to tell them what to play
I never stopped playing. The cattle are the ones like you who fell for youtube clickbait.
Is this an rpg like Fallout 4 or is it an mmorpg-like? I dont even understand what genre this game is, I keep getting team messages in the corner and I started at level 20? what
Both.

>removed legacy weapons
Nah, i'm good.
>Play FO76
>Dilate
Pick 2
Rainbows exist
Get over it
>Active player count up 5x since adding these
Go woke, get rich.
I love how the game is shilled now in Steam reviews because of that dogshit show.
Whoa, new fallout product makes people take note of current fallout product, shocking. You HAVE put at least 1000 hours into fo76, haven’t you?
I started playing it today. I was suprised that I really didn't need to engage with base building at all and just play it like a Fallout game with people in silly hats showing up every now and then.
>won a key yesterday
>game is 105GB
nah frick it
>won a key for a free game
>free
if you mean to say you are a pirategay, then it's MMO, pirating it is pointless
bro i bought the special tricentennial edition of the game from walmart for a literal dollar 5 years ago what are you doing
I didn't ask + I didn't buy the game I literally said I won a key yesterday
>won a key to a dollar game
+nobump lol
>Fallout
>but replace modding with grinding and troony flags
How embarassing.
Shill thread. Sage.
Seems like Bethesda has activated it's shilling machine with the show, every Fallout thread has ESLs trying to defend 76, Fallout 4 and even Starfield.
Its not bad. Not as good as mainline titles, but playable
Can you build real actual vaults with big vault doors or is it just usual base shit?
Not big vault doors, but you can build the standard vault-tec vault with its own interior space, yes. However, no one actually does because the loading screen is ungodly long even when its empty and on an m.2 drive.
>runs worse than dragons dogma 2
how do they make this game worse even when doing nothing
???
Its 60fps maxed on my Steam deck
You gotta turn a setting off in one of the .ini files.
Key for the Xbox version
KMY2CT69J6W9D4Y3Q7XJV3H7Z
Can't use it because I will never buy an xbox
you motherfricker, take away the bad ratz from my account NOW or I will hack you
Lol, do people even drop random Bad Rats keys these days
I think the Enclave splinter in 76 is my favorite of the Bethesda Enclaves.

Why is there still no service rifle (AR)? Why is Bethesda allergic to guns that don't look like shit?
I found a gun that looked like BAR that was pretty cool. It was single shot for some reason though.
What government they supposed to be in the service of? huh? you a commie?
What quest lines are worth doing? I installed a few days and just keep running events for gear. Also, what is special about level 50 that every one keeps telling me that the game doesn't start until then?
Level scaling basically stops at 50, and you get legendary perks.
Its fricking hideous.
I would've totally bought a Fallout themed controller but this is ugly as shit
Did they ever remove the level scaling again? It was always jarring to be a level 500 cumguzzler having to shoot a simple rat with 4 mini nukes and 2000 gatlin shots, while some level 10 moron right next to me would kill it in one hit with his fists
>Have to buy assets with real money to build your house

If I didn't have to sign up for Fallout 1st to have a decent UX then I might go back
Too bad the game is a frickin scam
