E3 has finally ended and fans of the Fallout series are saddened by it. This is because of Bethesda, which failed to address the fans on the highly anticipated fourth sequel, Fallout 4.
The game is one of the most wanted titles around and there is still no word on its development. This was the case until today, when Redditor GNR_Informant revealed that Fallout 4 is already in the makings.
The lad claims he knows Bethesda’s public relation officer and shared with us on the content coming from the insider. The passage is as follow.
“First and foremost, the game will take place in Boston, and be kind of a direct sequel to Fallout 3 with a few groups returning. From what it sounds like, “The Institute” is pretty much the downtown DC or New Vegas of this game. Boston is going to be unlike anything we’ve seen in a Fallout game before, with buildings more on par with cyberpunk and retro-futurism.
Androids play a big part in this game. The railroad from Fallout 3 is a faction. The enemies of the railroad is “the Plantation” — a group who force Androids to farm so that Humans can get food. The Institute is highly advanced and probably obtained or built their own GECK to start a farm.
Due to complaints about using Super Mutants and the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 3 excessively and going against the lore too much, Bethesda has decided to avoid using these groups. Bethesda wants to make a new “race” (think Ghoul, Super Mutant) which will be central to Boston. Bethesda is currently looking at Lovecraftian fiction since Boston is around “Lovecraft Country”.
Bethesda has no plans to reinvent the leveling up system to make it more like Skyrim and want to make Fallout 4 more distinct from Skyrim since of the complaints that Oblivion and Fallout 3 were too similar. Bethesda is thinking about introducing a system, similar to Skyrim, where your skills can level up if you perform certain tasks.”
All in all, this is the first step made towards Fallout 4 release. Then again, the leak is still unproven and is best taken with a pinch of salt. Let’s see if Bethesda would like to address the fan now.
