Fallout 76: Every Gameplay & Plot Detail You Need To Know
4. Base Building Will Play A Pivotal Role
While the base-building feature in Fallout 4 was pretty cool, it was undeniably superfluous. It didn't add too much to the game outside a couple of key quests, but if the leaks about Fallout 76 are to be believed, that initial version of the feature was merely a trial run for its full implementation in this spinoff.
Apparently, building and scavenging will be an integral part of the game, with players needing to build shelter, help establish settlements and potentially establish defences against the environment. Obviously, this mechanic ties in perfectly with the spinoff's theme of rebuilding society, as you'll literally be accomplishing that with your bare hands.
How Bethesda have expanded on the system since it debuted three years ago is yet to be seen, but hopefully they've taken criticisms about it to heart and worked on creating a far better version of it for this next game.
