Vault 101 (Fallout Thread)

LeeC:
I really do hope FO3 gets that anniversary remake. Skyrim is the dead horse that's been beaten so bad its a smear on the ground. Re-release the others dammit!

To manage rumor mongering... We really don't know much of anything, aside from it takes place in/around Vault 76, which is a DC area vault, and a control vault set to open 20 years after the bombs dropped. In the trailer they played a song that talked about West Virginia (Country Road by John Denver) and the pip boy date said it was 2102, 25 years after the bombs dropped. What that extra five years means.... Nobody knows.  Until BE3 tomorrow that's all that's known.

Now, a reliable source for leaks, Jason Schreier from Kotaku, did post the name of the game a couple of days before the teaser live stream and then trailer dropped. He's also the guy who leaked the Fallout 4 script about 6 months before Fallout 4 was announced and it turned out to be 100% accurate. So his is the only leaks/rumors I put any stock in at this point. He's said that it is going to have some online component but is not an online only or MMO game. It will have a focus on building elements as in such games like Rust, but it will still be a Bethesda game with a strong story and quests and all that we expect.

All of the other rumors (MMO, online only, Battle Royale game, No mods only Creation Club) all came out only after the F76 trailer dropped. I ignore them because they are pretty clear attention grabs by people who have no information. They just want to say something shocking or pulled out of their asses to get attention.

My guess is that they are going to be giving an enhanced version of the FO4 settlement building system. Hopefully with better settlement defense setups so you actually have to have a good defense setup and everything with be destructible. No just ringing  your base with an unbroken wall and calling it done. The online part is supposedly them testing for multiplayer functionality. I would guess it's probably going to be more like the Souls series of games, where you can choose to invite other players into your world to help you with a tough fight. Or maybe even they can attack your base if they want to add PVP. That is 100% speculation on my part though.

Also of note, a little over a month ago SteamDB showed that there are new DLC coming for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. When the same sort of thing happened with FO4 it was the High Res texture pack. The FO3 one is supposed to be about 6gb in size. No idea on the NV on. At a guess? Not a full remaster like Skyrim Special Edition since that was a separate program entirely. I'm thinking they will be high res packs and hopefully coding to make it easier to run the games under modern OS/systems. Probably folding in the mods like the 4gb patch or similar code into the DLC and releasing them as a free anniversary DLC.

Those are my guesses anyway. Also they've been dropping hints that they still have things that haven't been revealed yet for the show. I'm not sure what they have left that could be considered major after doing reveals on Rage 2 and Fallout 76. Starfield is a possibility I supposed but rumors are that's still a couple of years out. It could be Elder Scrolls 6 but they've been pretty adamant that is still in pre development in interviews over the last year so.... If it is another big announcement for a new game I can't think of what it is.

BenRG:
I seem to remember that the opening of Fallout 2 confirmed that the Enclave slaughtered the residents of the Control Vaults when they automatically opened up. So, the player character in Fallout 76 may be the Sole Survivor of Vault 76, leaving the Vault's med-bay after getting over a nasty case of radiation poisoning to find everyone else dead. They are now forced to complete the Vault's mission - to reclaim the WV Wastelands - alone apart from whatever local allies he/she can recruit. Basically, I'm expecting Fallout 76 to be similar to the Fallout 4 Minuteman arc and base-builder subgame as a stand-alone with a new single-player arc.

If the rumoured MMO mode is true, then it may be possible to assemble 'clans' of Vault 76 survivors to work together to carry out the mission instead.

TheEvilDog:
See, its comments like that that don't really add anything save for the rumour mongering.

Bethesda always plays things close to its chest when games are revealed.

Vault 76 was a control vault on the East Coast, when the Enclave's main operations were on the West Coast. So knowing that Vault 76 was a control vault, it would have had a population of approximately 500 people waiting 20 years for the doors to open, though the game indicates that the events will be happening in 2102, 25 years after the bombs dropped.

Chances are, the player character will be a scout, sent out to explore and report on the changed landscape of the nuclear wasteland. Something might happen to the Vault or it might lockdown, leaving the player character to find out what happened or to get back in. Conversely, opening the Vault will more than leave it open to raiders assaulting the location. Chances are, if 76 is going to see more of a focus on base building, it will be about exploring the area, gathering resources and building defences against the raiders.

TheEvilDog:
Screenshots have come out just before the Bethesda E3 showcase.
- A Vault-Tec memorial park for of 300 years of America.
- The business end of a giant wheel digger, possibly similar to the Bagger 293.
- Ruins of a town, with a large ogre like creature walking around the town square.
- A university campus with a version of the Vault-Tec mascot dressed in graduation clothes as a statue.
- Large areas of forest that look as though they are just beginning to recover.
- A deathclaw-sized creature with wings flying in from the sun (presumably so people can't make out too many details, other than the fact that it has a pair of wings and large claw legs).
