Fallout 76 Beta

Fallout 76 beta

I am now the lucky recipient of a Fallout 76 pre-order and beta key. The download is literally in progress right now and I'm excited to check it out. Thanks to my loving wife for the nice birthday gift!

Zombie Walkers for Fallout 76?

If Bethesda gets to the point of allowing mods for this game, I will most likely work on a port of Zombie Walkers for sure. So far they are reporting that they are committed to making it happen in an official capacity but it may take some time.

Clearly the "Scorched" are zombies, right?

I can already see the "Scorched" are this Fallout's version of a ghoul/zombie creature. Only this time they are intelligent and able to wield guns? Early signs point to them being re-branded zombies with removal of running and weapon wielding. Hopefully other features from the Fallout 4 Zombie Walkers mod will be possible if things like scripting are allowed.

Doesn't playing Fallout zombie survival with your friends sound fun? I guess we'll have to wait to see how far Bethesda allows modders to go and if they follow through on mod support to find out.

Update: 11/3/2018

It appears Feral Ghouls are still in the game in addition to Scorched. Bigger variety of zombies? I only had a chance to play for 40 mins or so before the beta shutdown at 9pm. Hoping to play more. Should be interesting to see what kind of atmosphere the lack of human NPCs creates.
