With the release of the “Wastelanders” expansion, built right into the game, I gave it another try.Ĭontrary to the first few titles single player format, Fallout 76 is an open world multiplayer online role-playing game. When Fallout 76 was released in 2018, I had also preordered the game. I followed it up with Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 4, respectively.

I have been a super fan of Fallout video games since a friend talked me into preordering the “Fallout 3” collector’s edition that came in a metal lunch box in 2008. Upon leaving the vault, the landscape is yours to explore, with familiar real-world places and monuments. Vault 76 is located in ‘Appalachia,’ formerly West Virginia. Taking place in the year 2102, 25 years after a world war has irradiated and marred the landscape, your character is not sure what to expect out there. Your vault, Vault 76, is a collection of the brightest minds, prepping to walk out of the vault on “Reclamation Day” and rebuild the world with your combined skills. This game takes place earlier than the previous games. Like so many Fallout titles, your character begins life underground, in the safety of a numbered vault, a fallout shelter designed for the potential of nuclear annihilation in a world war. “War never changes.” So goes the introduction to many of Bethesda Softworks “Fallout” titles.
