Fallout 76 reviews starting to come in.

This one from Gamespot is interesting.  Short version: Fallout 76 looks a lot like Fallout 4, but with other people.  Entertainingly, it looks a lot like my modded version of Fallout 4, in that there are leaves on the dang trees and everything (I just can’t get into the unmodded Fallout aesthetic*).  A whole lot of the mechanics and the GUI is identical, in fact.  But it’s not quite identical, and I assume that the differences will get me humiliatingly killed a few times.

Well, we’ll see in a month.

*It’s been a long damn time.  The trees and the grass would come back.  Even if radiation is weird and entertaining in this universe.

The Post-apocalyptic LEGO Movie 2 trailer.

Seriously.

This is as close as we’re ever going to get to LEGO Fallout — dang, but I would play that game — so drink up, my droogies. …Hold on!  THEY’RE GOING TO DO TOYS BASED ON LEGO Movie 2!  That means that there CAN be LEGO Fallout! At least, in my heart.

This ain’t coming out until 2019, so no need to go looking for tickets yet.

Bethesda proves that its Fallout troll game is strong.

Remarkably strong: they’ve gotten over a hundred thousand people to watch a Twitch live feed of a test pattern and a bobblehead.

Rumor has it that they’re teasing something Fallout-related, and that it’s not a remaster. Rumor, of course, is utterly unreliable. Not ‘wrong;’ ‘unreliable.’ Maybe it will be a new game, maybe it won’t, we probably won’t find out either way today.

…But, hey, great advertising, what-what?

Via @vamoose comes the Doom that will fell us some:

Well, Fallout: Cascadia looks interesting.

Fallout: Cascadia is going to be a fan expansion set in Seattle. It uses the Fallout 4 engine, but it seems to be drawing a lot of intellectual ideas from Fallout 3 and before. In particular they want to bring back S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (stat) checks, which is something that was only mildly used in Fallout 4 – and I’m actually a little surprised about that.

There’s a big team on this, so hopefully we’ll have another Falskaar (a similar project for Skyrim) on our hands.  Eventually.  This is probably going to be a while.

PS: I certainly hope that the Enclave is involved, somehow. I’m still convinced that they were originally going to be in Fallout 4, but then got turned into the Gunners.

NOW MY LONE WANDERER HAS A MOTORCYCLE.

HO HO HO

[Screenshot for when I get to it later]

…Yup, somebody finally figured out how to get a working motorcycle into Fallout 4. I’ve tested it out, and it’s functional: there’s some weirdness with the camera angles, and if you go too fast you end up driving on stuff that the game hasn’t rendered yet, which can be hilarious.  …But it works. It’s a goram motorcycle that you can drive, and that shows up on the map so that you can teleport to it again when you need to.  People have been clamoring for this and/or cars since the game came out, and it’s finally here.

So, hey, Fallout Nuka World is dropping.

This is not exactly the best time in the month for that, because I have deadlines over the next two days – but, hey, who asked me?  …Then again, this DLC is likely to interfere with my usual Queen of the Girl Scouts play style, so I may be not as involved. I do have to remind myself that there are people who missed the old karma system from Fallout 3…

 

[UPDATE] I may end up getting something up my nose over the entire slave collar thing. I have a problem with stuff like that.
