The content bundles are mostly, if not all skins, aesthetics. I bought the Wastelanders Deluxe edition ($59) which includes Fallout 76, Fallout 76: Raiders Content Bundle, Fallout 76: Settlers Content Bundle. When I purchased it the game itself was $39. Of note 2, after you have hit level 50 you stop getting new SPECIAL attribute points to assign, but instead you can shift the attribute points you have from one SPECIAL category to another, but just 1 point each time you level.Ĭlick to expand.When I bought bought F76, Wastelanders was (and is free if I am not mistaken).
Right now, it’s a pain in the butt, but word is this winter Bethesda is going to incorporate an interface to make it easier to change out card sets. Of note, there are many more cards than SPECIAL points so the game forces you to have build sets. Cards you have in your collection, can be swapped around at any time. In the perk interface, when you are looking at cards, if you look at the bottom of the interface screen, there is a filter setting, and the current filter setting would be Strength, and you can toggle back and forth to select a different attribute SPECIAL category and see cards for the new category you select. But to level a card skill, 3 times, you’d first have to acquire two more duplicate cards to combine, and have 3 points assigned to Strength (for this example). Note that depending on the card they can be leveled, depending on the card, up to 5 times. So if you only have 1 point assigned to Strength, you can only place one card there. It might appear and you might assume that assigning the card is tied to leveling up, in other words if you assigned a point to Strength, then you must assign a card to Strengh, which in essence you would do, but the reality is that cards can be reassigned at any time, but the limiting factor is how many points you have assigned to each SPECIAL category. Then you will see Strength cards you have accrued for that category, that you can select and activate. In this case I’ll say you added your level up point to S (strength). There you will scroll left or right in the SPECIAL Categories, to select a category and assign the point to it. So when get advised you have leveled up, you select T for the perks interface. And there is a max of 50 points (or something close) that can be assigned to SPECIAL categories, with a max of 15 points in each category. There are cards for each SPECIAL category. You first assign points to a particular SPECIAL category, and then you can assign a card with a skill associated with a particular attribute. Instead of (F4) having a bulletin board of perks that you apply points to specific skills as you gain levels and can see the big picture, in F76 it’s a two step process.ĭue to the lack of the bulletin board perk display in F76, it is advised you research character builds and there are sights on line like: along with builds so you can formulate the end goal. The SPECIAL perk system is odd and not intuitive to anyone who has played F4 because of how the interface is organized. Does armor degrade too? Anyway so far, so good. What else is new is degradation of weapons. I‘ve not yet experience what the death penalty is, if there is one. I stumbled across a farm with 3 feral gouls, except they were shooting guns at me! That’s new compared to F4. My guess in real life you would have the runs eating that much. It was plentiful, but you have to make a lot of corn soup to get your food level up. And as a subscriber you can log into a private world or a friends private world, and there I ran to a guild friends camp who had lots of purified water, corn growing, a lake to gather water, a cooking station to boil the water, and then make corn soup. I decided to subscribe, so I’ve got a portable “tent” with both a stash and a scrape box which is huge for collecting junk, as there is lots of junk around. ? The most annoying thing so how fast my food and hydration go down. Then they had quests.Īs a hardcore F4 player who has given myself benefits, there is definitely acclimation. I believe it was the holotape that directed me to Wayfarers, a store, down by the river, where there was 2 NPCs, 1 who was being held up by a third, but when I engaged the bandit in conversation and said I’d join him, a goul (one of the two NPCs) shot him.
Just outside the vault I talked to a Codsworth like robot, who gave me an Overseers holotape, then down the hill, 2 NPCs wondering about the treasure in the vault. Click to expand.As you know there are now NPCs, which feels fairly normal to me as compared to F4.
