New and veteran players alike will take on new missions, explore new locations and fight with (or against) the new faces that have made their long-awaited return to West Virginia.
• Human NPCs – Befriend or betray new neighbors who have come to rebuild, and experience Appalachia through the eyes of its residents.
• New Creatures and Gear – Take down newly mutated creatures finding their way to the region and earn the highest tier of weapons and armor.
• Choices and Reputation – Alter the fates of those you meet with classic dialogue trees. Decisions affect your standing with each faction through an all-new reputation system.

I'll give Bethesda credit for sticking with the game,at least. After it flopped at launch, I figured they'd have written it out of the history books by now.

If by sticking with this game you mean: adding in paid character perks after initially saying that the only micro-transactions would be cosmetic only, adding in a terrible subscription service that did not work as advertised.
There are also the numerous bugs and glitches that have been around since day 1, plus new glitches since due to their poorly optimised engine. I could go on and on about how terrible this game is lol

I haven't played it, so I can't speak to any of that stuff. All I know is that I continue to hear about stuff happening in the game.

Maybe I shouldn't give them any credit. Maybe I should just say that I'm surprised they've stuck with it.

I can't wait to see the many ways this update breaks the game. It's going to be a glitch festival.

Just another shitty modern day developer/publisher. I have a feeling I'll skip the next elder scrolls, bet they will butcher that too.
