Masters of the single-player RPG it might be, but when it comes to always-online multiplayer worlds, Bethesda's the pup of the pack. That being the case, it's not surprising, at all, that it would look to those with established and successful so-called 'live services' for a hint of inspiration.

Similarly to Bungie and Ubisoft's Destiny and The Division respectively, Fallout 76's sprawling map will be populated by semi-scripted public events that encourage players to converge on a single location to complete a timed objective. Those can range from horde mode-like encounters with waves of increasingly difficult enemies to answering the distress call of a band of lost robots in need of an escort.

Whatever predicament you load into (every event can be fast travelled to), Bethesda promises that players will be richly rewarded for completing said events, making them worth the detour.
