'Fallout 76 Wastelanders' DLC New Features
Another awaited aspect of the Wasteland expansion is the new location in the southwest region of the map is the Watoga Underground, which will act as the "City of the Future's" underbelly. In "Fallout," car storage stations used to power the city above lie in network in Watoga underground. However, in the post-apocalypse, the place is now worn out and ruined aside from the few shiny vehicles, the place however may be infested with raiders.
During Fallout 76's panel at the Quakecon 2019, the game's developers talked more in detail of the upcoming update, it was emphasized that the NPC dialogues are going to be more inclined into "Fallout 3" than "Fallout 4." Many players were disappointed in Fallout 4's voice system as compared to "Fallout 3" where they have more options in dealing with situations and stat checks were more meaningful. In this "Fallout 76 Wastelanders," the fans would be delighted that the player's reputation and faction affinity determines the options while speaking with NPCs.
Another addition by the expansion is the introduction of new companions. Within each of the new faction arriving in the update companions will be available for romance and chat at the in-game camp. Players can also complete side quests concerning their companion's backstory. However, they will not be able to join the player's adventure and quests on the wilderness just yet.
