​Fallout 76 - The history of scrip and how it fits into the game

Jul-05-2019 PST

I just basic to say how absolute a fit scrip fits the game. Aback in the aboriginal 1900's atramentous miners spent their lives accepting scrip and today gamers do the aforementioned in Fallout 76.


I'm newer to the bold and abandoned akin 34. I've traded a ton of 1 brilliant allegorical armor and weapons to get 100 scrip.


Back if atramentous mines in Appalachia were in abounding force in the aboriginal 1900's, the atramentous aggregation didn't pay you banknote or a check. They paid you in scrip. Scrip was annihilation added than a afflicted bill that the atramentous aggregation created.


You could abandoned buy aliment and food at the bounded abundance with your scrip. The scrip wasn't acclimated anywhere alfresco of that mining community. The bad allotment was the atramentous aggregation aswell endemic the bounded store.


They usually endemic the houses and aggregate aural afar of the mine. So basically the you formed for the atramentous company, the aggregation gave you scrip, the aggregation took your scrip and you did it all over afresh the next week.


If you accept to Appalachia Radio on the Pip Boy you'll apprehend the song 16 bags by Ernie Ford. He says "I owe my body to the aggregation store." He wasn't lying.


So afterwards all of that I accept a question. If I barter the bell-ringer to get a 3 brilliant weapon should I delay until akin 50, aback weapons assume to be akin dependent, or does the bell-ringer accumulation akin 50 automatically?


This is why I let humans apperceive that it's not "script." It's "scrip." If they don't apperceive what "scrip" is, they're missing on a amalgamation to complete WV history and - thematically - to the bold itself. WV in complete activity is in allotment an archetype of what happens if the aggregation runs aggregate and afresh a lot of of the jobs disappear. The acceleration of automation is all over the game, and it's aswell in WV in complete life. Machines do abounding of the jobs that men acclimated to do, and the accompaniment has gone decline economically as a result.


The Purveyor scrip operates in a agnate way to complete scrip. You accept to acreage all of those legendaries for her to get scrip, but it's cool one-sided. You will never get as abundant scrip as you accept to accord if you barter with her. By the time you get a god cycle legendary, you paid your body in scrip to her aggregation store.


People apprehend too bound with Fallout 76 Items and anticipate the chat is "script" and they lose all of that nuance.


Next, I'll allocution about how it makes me sad that so abounding humans absence the pun in the Imposter Sheepsquatch event.
