The canine companions in Fallout games are iconic. Dogmeat? A hero. Rex? The finest boy. I used to be stunned Fallout 76 by no means put in any type of canine good friend that can assist you out, however now I see Bethesda had been simply taking their time getting spherical to it. In a Q&A on Reddit yesterday, a few builders teased a few of the stuff coming to the wastelands of Appalachia, and it appears to be like like pets would possibly properly be on their method.
“Now that we have our companions system in the game, we are looking to add pets as well,” said project lead, Jeff Gardiner.
So I’ll have jumped the gun assuming these pets are going to be canine, however come on, it’s Fallout. There has to be canine.
Pets aren’t the one notable factor to return from the Q&A, although. When requested if we’d ever see story DLC about Fallout’s previous factions, the Enclave and the Brotherhood Of Steel, Gardiner teased: “Let’s just say the Brotherhood is now watching the wasteland of West Virginia very closely…”
There’s additionally a brand new Mole Miner NPC scheduled to reach within the May replace, plans to introduce Perk loadouts, and a sort of “looking for group” function coming this summer season as properly.
As for the stuff that appears extra like ‘potential’ concepts somewhat than concrete plans in the intervening time, the builders say they could discover extra Mothman cult lore. On prime of that, it’s potential we’ll get to enterprise out into areas past Appalachia sooner or later. “Stay tuned,” says Gardiner.
He also said they’re engaged on a content material roadmap that must be launched “very soon” to provide gamers an thought of what’s coming over the subsequent yr, so maintain your eyes peeled for that.
In the meantime, try the Q&A for your self over on the Fallout 76 subreddit.
Nate wrote some good phrases in regards to the game’s newest new additions in his Fallout 76 Wastelanders review. He reckons the arrival of extra fake people to Appalachia “has made it easier to appreciate the real humans that live there.”
Fallout 76’s cannibals would tend to agree.
