New Vegas might be cleaner than Fallout 3's Washington wasteland, the Mojave desert having got off relatively lightly during the nuclear apocalypse, but it's still a game about survival. As for what the game will actually be like, here's (almost) everything we know.I should have known better. Given that Fallout 76 is due to get mod support, I suppose someone could perhaps add The Fallout 76 Experience's hateful NPCs for real. Sure, I'm tired of 'games were better in the good old days' arguments, but I'm well up for people wading into that with playable gag mods. And Doom's Call of Dooty is full of cutscenes, voiceovers, waypoint markers, QTEs, and adverts. One Doom mod adds loot boxes, requiring players find keys to unlock chests to get weapons and pick-ups. Deus Ex's Unreal Revolution mod got sarky about Human Revolution's signposting, knifearms, and pre-order-exclusive mission. I do enjoy seeing people make this sort of parody mod. If you want to experience crude, terrible, and hateful things, head over to Nexus Mods to download The Fallout 76 Experience.

A dozen 'player' NPCs are scattered across the world, waiting to make your game worse. A little further into town you'll find (AFK) FAZE_Swagl0rd, blasting a mega-distorted version of the Thomas the Tank Engine theme song through their mic. Wearing a wrestling singlet and wielding a flamethrower, he'll chase you around squealing, shouting slurs, and calling you a beta. hated the bit I played, in the way I'm supposed to?įire up the mod, start a new game, and the first NPC you'll meet in the town of Goodsprings after leaving Doc Mitchell's house is xXnewbPonerXx. The Fallout 76 Experience continues the fine tradition of mods for old games parodying newer games in the series, and I. Modder 'funkySwadling' has blessed the Mojave Wasteland with the sort of folks you might meet online: jerks camping newbies, jerks spamming terrible sounds and shouting hateful epithets, and groups of players geared to the nines who'll be tickled by your puny weapons.

While Fallout 76 isn't out until November, you can experience a taste of post-apocalyptic multiplayer survival today in a new mod for Fallout: New Vegas.
