Bethesda Wants Fallout 76 Cheaters to Repent by Writing Essays
The essay request was first discovered by YouTuber JuiceHead. It was later confirmed via Gstaff, a Bethesda Community Lead posting on ResetEra. Users could be put into this situation if they were using programs such as CheatEngine to edit the game’s code. Reshade, a post-processing tool that only affects graphics, is also on the banned list, as is anything described as a “speed hack” or “page-scrape” program.
While the request for a literal essay about the cheater’s wrongdoing may not be a standard process, it did indeed see use in a few documented scenarios. Gstaff noted that there would be “no essay going forward” as a part of the appeals process. Discussions about this unusual tactic became stalled by the holiday season, and the team is now reconsidering their options.
As for why these specific third-party programs triggered their systems, Gstaff had an answer. This list of programs is disallowed “because we do not want players exploiting the game in ways that provide a competitive advantage or negatively impact the servers and gameplay experience of other players.” This reasoning makes it a little peculiar that Reshade is on the naughty list especially since visual upgrades have little impact on other players. Perhaps Bethesda can write us an essay to explain that one.
