Previous versions of the "Fallout" series have taken place decades and even centuries after the nuclear war. The latest release — "Fallout 4" — was set 200 years after the nuclear war in the Boston area, for example.
During E3, Bethesda's Todd Howard said the company is features all-new lighting, rendering, and landscape technology that contains "16 times" the detail as previous "Fallout" games.
In the world of "Fallout," a small subsection of humanity survived a nuclear holocaust by taking shelter in massive, radiation-sheilded vaults — essentially, entire small-scale underground cities made to sustain mankind until it was safe to go outside.
Vault 76 has been mentioned in every "Fallout" game to date, and is referred to as one of the first few bunkers to open after the nuclear war.
On Reclamation Day, Vault 76 opens.
Every character in the game is actually a real player online. The entire game is based online. You won't need to play with other players to play the game, promises Bethesda, and you'll be able to play through the adventure solo. But you might want to team up, given the inhospitability of the postapocalyptic wasteland.
It's a "wide open world, with very few rules," Howard said.
You'll be able to build a home base with your online friends, but you'll have to fend off enemy players or monsters, too. Help players in other settlements to form alliances, too!
Some of the beasts you'll find are based on the folklore of West Virginia, said Howard at E3.
You could be an unbeatable force if your entire online squad manages to suit up in power armor.
There will be six "distinct regions," Howard said at E3. Each has its own "style, risks, and rewards."
