That’s not to say New California isn’t a grand old time. "New California expands the core game with larger maps, new encounters, and - most importantly - quest lines inspired by the original two Fallout games, as well as adding updated versions of the Fallout 3 and 4 scenario cards" New California partially addresses this with co-op mechanics that emphasize the shared world, but only capitalises on it for a single adventure.
That said, player characters have few opportunities to interact, making each multiplayer session feel like solo games were intruding on each other. Alternatively, players can ignore factions and gather enough influence to earn a personal victory.īy and large, FFG’s Fallout is a unique game that authentically captures the selective morals of each series' protagonist. Using quest and encounter cards, players follow branching narratives that alter the game world and eventually guide one faction to victory. From there, quest cards and encounter decks drive the story for 1-4 survivors while they explore settlements, fight enemies, and scoop up caps across the map. Each session, players arrange tiles face-down into a fog-of-war-never-changes map, and choose a scenario that introduces two factions trying to control the Wasteland. Between this release and the core game’s expansive content, players have enough material to customize authentic Fallout multiplayer experiences to their heart’s content.įFG’s core Fallout set is a complete board game largely inspired by Bethesda’s Fallout 3 and 4. Thankfully, 76 wasn’t the only post-apocalyptic multiplayer experience to arrive in 2018 - Fantasy Flight Games unveiled Fallout: New California, a board game expansion inspired by the original Interplay Entertainment titles. Love or hate Fallout 76, it’s hard to deny that West Virginia was a far cry from the series’ iconic narrative roots. More on the subject can be found in my gallery.An inspired blend of both Interplay and Bethesda's post-apocalyptic visions, is New California the co-op Fallout game you deserve? I never finished the game and relied solely on the Fallout wiki for information, so the west coast may be flawed.įinally the gulf of Mexico is divided into two factions: The Mavericks and September Watch, my own concoction for my fan-written Fallout: The Big Easy game set in New Orleans. The Confederation and Casino Nation were both from Fallout: Lonestar, a pretty cool fan-made mod you can check out here: ( The west coast remains relatively the same from Fallout: New Vegas. The Pitt has been subjugated into B.o.S jurisdiction. The nation to the northwest of the Brotherhood of Steel is 'Ronto' mentioned in Fallout 3's 'The Pitt' DLC. The Enclave, who are stationed in Chicago, are retreating from the Ohio River as B.o.S agents march westwards. Since the events of Fallout 3 the Brotherhood of Steel have expanded from Washington D.C to the outskirts of Boston. A lot of this was just reasonable thinking.
