Fallout 76 was not included in the list of the best games of the series because of some controversial decisions. Bethesda did not expect that some activities would be uninteresting for the players.

What is known

Vice president of marketing Pete Hines admitted in his interview for USGamer that the team had misunderstood the audience. Bethesda hoped that players of Fallout 76 would not just want to survive together, but also to fight with each other. In fact, gamers prefered the first option, paying more attention to the PvE-actively, rather than PvP, which surprised the developers.

«Ну, в конце концов, мы всегда намеревались сначала выпускать что-то, смотреть за реакцией игроков, а потом дорабатывать вещи позже, основываясь на реакции. Например, мы были немного удивлены, насколько мало игроков заинтересовано в PvP и как много хотят играть вместе в PvE. Это противоположное: «Ей, я хочу протестировать свою пушку на тебе, давай сразимся». Не поймите меня неправильно, есть люди, которым нравится сражаться, но их меньшинство», — сказал Хайнс

Perhaps for the same reason Bethesda decided to devote more time to the "story" part of the Fallout 76. With Wastelanders update the NPC will appear in the game. They will give the tasks instaed of making the Wasteland less deserted. In addition, the developers will add new areas, stores, enemies and so on.

Fallout 76 will be released: Wastelanders on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 7 as a free upgrade. In addition, the project will be launched on Steam.
