Fallout 76: 9 Big Questions We Still Have
8. Are Old Enemies Coming Back?
The new enemies in Fallout 76 look fascinating. There's the Scorchbeast (a flying dragon-like thing), the Grafton Monster (a lumbering hulking blob), and many more wild creatures we've never seen in these games before.
But where are the oldies? We've seen a few long-standing favourites, like ghouls and super mutants, but there are so many more we haven't seen. Are there Yao Guai families out there, waiting to rip us up? What about robots like Sentrybots and Assaultrons? And, with the new monsters, will there be such a big range of each of the levelled creatures as before? We need to be able to bring down Super Mutant Behemoths as a team!
Bethesda will likely choose to bring back many of the old monsters. As well as making the game more like previous Fallouts, this decision would make sure there's enough content to spend hours wandering the wastes. If they want people to put MMO amounts of time into the game, they'll need more enemy variety than before.
However if Bethesda choose to forget most old monsters, it'll show them distancing themselves from the previous aesthetics of the series. This will make Fallout 76 a bold step away from the stalwart features of the series.
