<p>When <em>Fallout 76</em> was announced at E3, many people were skeptical. That doesn&#8217;t mean they weren&#8217;t excited, however, there were some issues that had people worried. Most of this focused on the always online, PvP aspect of the game.</p>
<p>Any game with an online component inevitably has some form of trolling. However, that&#8217;s not going to be the case with the new <em>Fallout</em> installment. At least, that&#8217;s according to Pete Hines. According to an interview Mr. Hines had with GameSpot, the game has built-in anti-trolling measures. However, he didn&#8217;t go into specifics. What he did say, though, was interesting.</p>
<p>As Mr. Hines told <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2018-how-fallout-76-aims-to-stop-people-from-be/1100-6459803/">GameSpot</a>:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>When you see a person in the world, they&#8217;re a real person, and now you have to figure out [what role they play]&#8230;maybe they&#8217;re being super helpful, maybe they&#8217;re wandering the world as a trader and just trading with people, maybe they&#8217;re being a bad guy and they&#8217;re part of a raider group. [We allow] for that sort of tension but with systems in place that keep it from being abusive. So you can&#8217;t be harassed by somebody who just keeps chasing you around the world and keeps killing you over and over again; the game literally doesn&#8217;t allow that to happen to you.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>Right now, it looks like players will actually be able to enjoy the online aspect of the game. If what Mr. Hines says is true, then there shouldn&#8217;t be much leeway for trolling. However, trolls normally do find a way to work around these kinds of things. Hopefully, it won&#8217;t ruin many players&#8217; experiences with the game.</p>
<p>Mr. Hines also commented more on the PvP aspect of <a href="https://bagogames.com/?s=fallout+76"><em>Fallout 76</em></a>, saying:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>Think of PvP more like issuing a challenge to somebody as opposed to just, &#8216;no matter what I want to do to somebody, I can. The game only lets that go so far before you can basically say, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want to participate in this challenge anymore.&#8217;</em>&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/fallout-76-will-open-its-vault-doors-on-november-14th/"><em>Fallout 76</em></a> is available November 14.</p>
