In a recent post-Gamelab interview Todd Howard (Bethesda) shared some new information about the upcoming Fallout 76.

He started the interview by saying that there’s a chance that our beta progess won’t be wiped after launch, at least that’s what he and the developers hope currently.

“I think it will be released in multiple phases and our hope is that the beta is the final game. We’re not sure yet, but we’re hoping to avoid resetting the servers post-beta. Our hope is that it will be the final game.”

Then he also talked about how the game will handle PVP and how the developers make sure that the PVP aspect of the game won’t have a negative effect on the gaming experience.

“There are various countermeasures we are implementing to prevent other players to do such things. For instance, currently, you cannot kill another player until his character gets to level 5. Maybe we’ll change this rule, but we’re aware of the risks because we don’t like that stuff either. But we’re not afraid to try new things and leave players the complete freedom to fight at their discretion or to avoid that entirely if they’re not interested.

Other players can damage the camp, but not destroy it. Repairing the camp is also cheap. The reason why we’ve made it susceptible to damage is that you could conceivably trap another player in your camp, and if said player wasn’t able to break free that would be a problem. That’s why we made camps destructible, not because we want to incentivize others to attack your place but because we want to avoid players using their camps to bother others. It’s really easy to repair, anyway, and it disappears once you disconnect from the game.”

We also learned that people will be able to roleplay as merchants and sell stuff to other players.

“Absolutely! That’s our hope. Build your camp, gather resources, craft weapons and then you can place your robot to sell all the stuff, going as far as roleplaying as a merchant character.

You can sell anything you want except for some quest items. Anything you produce or collect in the world can be sold to other players.”

Todd Howard also revealed the inclusion of fast-travel, however, there won’t be any mounts or vehicles.

Fallout 76 is going to release this year, November 14th on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
