Bethesda's delayed Wastelanders update meant to add NPCs to Fallout 76 will launch on April 7, coinciding with the Steam release of the game. But there's a catch.

    You left out some pretty critical information. They said Atom Shop purchases will carry over. So just spend your Atoms, cancel your Fallout 1st sub and restart it on Steam. It's not that big of a deal.

    Agreed, but no real reason to transfer to Steam unless one is a fanatic about having all games on the platform

    I like Steam, but see no benefit (for me) with this move.

    Sir, you should realize Steam is the most common and oldest way to publish game after CD/DVD era died. Rockstar, Ubi, EA etc... has funds and quailty game archive to support their own publishing applications. Most of the studios or companies prefer steam because they don't have tons of games or funding. Why should pay a publishing platform while you can make stable profit with yours? Steam is one of the greatest asset of PC game industry.
    In Bethesda's case, they tought they are making great games yet most of their games were bugfest. Without the mods, you will alt+f4 after couple of bug fighting. I can say, modders are the main reason to play TES and Fallout. Modders accurately patching the game faster than publishers even F76 had ancient F3's fps bug. After they tried to sell mods in F4, start of the financial downfall obviously seen. They started to F76 for MMO magic yet when they publish a smooth game? This time, there were no mods, onyl plain dissapointment.

    If you already own the game it's free to come back to check out.

    If not wait a good 3 to 6 months post release because this is Bethesda after all and there is no way this isn't going to be a shitshow the first few months, and I say this as a fanboy of Fallout games.

    I played it on Release and had Tons of Fun. Kinda Fanboy as well @Kyleran , so i know what you mean ;)
    I think i will observe the "new" Situation and then take a look. And yeah, perhaps waiting 1-2-3 Patches is always a good Idea with F76 as we all know ;)

    Nice move. Will be interesting to see how that goes. I’m excited to see it available on Steam, but I feel like they could drop the ball. Either way, forums and reviews should be entertaining.

    ;)

    Sounds better to me. Honestly, it feels like everything in the entertainment medium is just being remade instead of actually creating stuff. Hell, I'd take a spin-off at this point.

    I love fallout games and all but I just can't do any more Bethesda games ever again. The company is just pure crap.

    Imagine moving your release date between two of the most highly anticipated games of the year as a game that has utterly failed at each and every turn since launch.

    One correction - you are a fanboy of the fake Fallouts. Bethesda had nothing to do with the good ones. Bethesda was making their last crpg (Daggerfall) when the real Fallouts were being made.

    So I hit lvl 135 as melee about 1 month after release. Do the bats come down yet or do I just run because I cant do anything? A way to maybe use NET or something to be useful as melee? I'm assuming not.

    Nope they still annoyingly stay in the air. You need to select a spot out in the open so they decide to land. It's a bit hard in the cranberry bog with all those changes in terrain or the mire with all those trees.
    Since melee is a strength stat, you can always get heavy weapons or shotgun perk.

    Funny you mention that.  I level much slower than you, after a few months I was only level 36 as it seemed all I did was spend an hour feeding myself or scavenging to find ballistic fiber, aluminum or plastic to repair my broken armor,  and like you, I was melee.

    I was up near the pumpkin farm and ran into my first Scorchbeast and thought,  how the fk am I supposed to fight that?

    I quit shortly after that, resuming again in September but started a new character to play with a friend.

    This time I went shotguns from 1 to 40 or so, switching to heavy guns once I could wear better power armor. 

    Scorchbeasts do come to ground, it's when they are most vulnerable,  but for a melee player you would need to team up with a heavy gunner to get the beast to ground which then you could wreck them. 

    Heard tell of a melee player who recently one shot the Queen on her final burndown, but the gunners got her on the ground first. 

    I'm told melee builds really shine in PVP, but for PVE, not so much.

    Maybe when I retire.

    yes, the game is crap, but since it on steam now I will buy the crap game....

    then later people cry and ask why we don't have nice things

    as long you guys give money to crap they will deliver crap, fo76 already proved is not worth to play even as a f2p game, just ignore the game and move on
