... I'm obviously out of luck: https://kotaku.com/bethesda-announces-fallout-76-1826417383 I play alone! I hate online play! MAKE ME A SINGLE PLAYER GAME RIGHT FUCKING NOW! I don't actually care if it's FALLOUT or ELDER SCROLLS but I just don't want other humans in my game! Well. Actually there could be a FALLOUT: ELDER SCROLLS game. TES is FO's far future or something. Gimme gimme gimme but fer fuckssakes let me play my stressless game by myself. I prefer 5 Super Behemots and me in a crumbling corner to any Korean teen. Yes I do.
Actually, if the model is anything like Elder Scrolls Online there'll be tons of single-player content, it's just the best gear will be locked into missions/open-world content that needs a group. Actual PvP is limited to certain areas or a duelling mechanic.
See, I'm the opposite. I'm a social gamer. I would rather play with friends over TS/Discord than play single player content. For me, single player content is only for when the internet is out. That's when I'll dust off Civ V or Cities Skylines.
so, looks like its gonna have a 12-14 player lobby, so not full-on MMO. Probably a good idea. Wonder if you can have private lobbies?
