Fallout 76 quests

Quest system
In an interview with Geoff Keighley at E3, Todd Howard stated that the quests will be akin to found-world quests. Per Jeff Gardiner, quests will be largely received through holotapes, terminals and notes. Howard also stated in an IGN interview that robots will be utilised to deliver the story of the quest and other traditional roles played by NPCs in past iterations.

Quests can be completed as a team, but each player character will have their own quest items and objectives. Identical quest items may be scattered into different containers nearby.
