Fallout 76 Wastelanders launches today, now available on Steam

Patch notes are pretty crazy, and I'm ready to let 76 win me over one more time. I'm not opposed to an online Fallout experience, but I think I've finally reached my saturation point on Fallout 4, at least for a while, so if this can deliver a somewhat single player Fallout experience, count me in.

Welcome to Wastelanders, our biggest update for Fallout 76 yet! It brings an entirely new main story, including many quests to the game, as well as plenty of people to meet in the form of human NPCs. It also adds a dialogue system, NPC Factions, Allies for your C.A.M.P., new events, daily quests, weapons, armors, enemies, and much more to the game. Read on for an overview of each of these additions, as well as other improvements and bug fixes coming with today’s update.

WASTELANDERS UPDATE HIGHLIGHTS
-People Are Back!: Whether in search of rumored fortune, or mere survival, people have returned to Appalachia in droves. Get to know them through the new dialogue system.
-New Main Story: Experience the new story that Wastelanders brings to Fallout 76 by completing all-new main quests.
-Meet the Factions: Who will you side with: The Raiders at Crater, or the Settlers at Foundation? Aid them in their endeavors to earn Reputation and unlock new items.
-Recruit an Ally: Certain NPCs can come to live in your C.A.M.P., help defend it, and offer you daily quests. Some also bring story quests and romance opportunities.
-More Events and Dailies: Take on challenging new events, like Riding Shotgun and Radiation Rumble. There are also four new daily quests to explore.
-New Items and Enemies: Hunt down the monstrous Wendigo Colossus or a pack of Floaters, but don’t forget to pack your new Gauss Minigun!
-New and Updated Locations: New arrivals in Appalachia are certainly making their mark on the world. Discover new and updated locations as you quest and explore.
UPDATE VERSION
This update is significant, and it will require a full download of the game client. Download size for consoles will be around 70 GB. For PC, download size will be approximately 54 GB through the Bethesda.net launcher, and around 68 GB via Steam.

i heard there was a BR for this game. is that true?

Been waiting so long for this to drop.
Hopefully this is the start of a turnaround story because the massive map of West Virginia has been an awesome setting for a Fallout game.

Will this make you play it if true?
Yes, it has BR. Launched last summer. Know nothing about it.

76 was the first fallout game I skipped. Didn't hear good things when it came out. Does this update make this game worth my time now?

A big thing they did that didn't pan out was not including NPC's in the game. Their idea was the players would fill the world and it just felt empty. You got quests from robots, terminals, or audio logs. So that alone, hopefully, will help it feel more fleshed out.

Obviously I haven't played it yet, but I'll give them credit on how they're undoing the mistake of not adding NPCs.
It's apparently part of the story that people are coming back for a huge hidden treasure and because the places they left for were more dangerous.
Very nice pivot

Internet Historian - The Fall of 76
Pretty much sums up the absolute shite show that was the game’s launch. Don’t really know about the state of the game now, but Bethesda has done so much rat bastard stuff with it I have no desire to ever touch it.

I did the same, didn't touch it because of negative reviews here and elsewhere. Was talked into trying it out by a buddy and started playing towards the end of February. Now I regret not playing from the beginning

Will not go back after the cash grab shite show they released and I bought, and I put a ton of hours in 4.

Kinda feel bad for people that refuse to play fallout 76 out of principal

Bethesda has gone much more the way of the makers of No Man's Sky than EA when it came to fixing their mistakes.
They've continuously put work in instead of telling their customers to frick off.

I've already said my piece on the status of this game in the past. Haven't been playing it. These additions, on paper, sound great, and I cant wait to see how it pans out. To show up in a thread on a game you won't even play just to talk shite...I dont get it, but it's Carson.
I've never understood actively cheering for a game or a studio to fail.

That was the plan from the beginning....
