Fallout 4 fan shows sunny screenshot with modern graphics that took several hundred mods and an RTX 5090

Fallout 4 fan used a couple of mods to turn the game into a gritty trench shooter with Warhammer 40k vibes

Fallout 4 player found an 80-pound barbell bar and thought it was the heaviest item in the game – then someone showed them a 160-pound dumbbell

In the wasteland, the value of an item rarely matches its weight. The skeleton of pre-war civilization gets stripped for screws, glue, and copper wire, and the most unwieldy trophy around turns out to be...

New Fallout 4 player at level 37 couldn't find a suitable target for the Fat Man and asked other gamers for advice

Any RPG inventory eventually turns into a museum of items that never get used. Elixirs, scrolls, rare ammo just sit there gathering dust until the credits roll, and Fallout 4 takes this to an absurd...

A Fallout 4 player noticed the Children of Atom symbol on Vault 81's Tina's forehead and came up with a whole backstory before finding out it was just a bug

A tenth playthrough of the same game works like a magnifying glass: the story gets memorized by heart, dialogue gets skipped on reflex, but the eye suddenly latches onto some tiny detail that got ignored...

A Fallout 4 player stumbled upon three legendary Deathclaws at once and survived only thanks to power armor and a river

Power armor in Fallout 4 gets sold to players as a walking tank, the kind of gear that makes regular combat armor feel like a pile of rags. That reputation holds up right until three...

Ten years later, Fallout 4 players noticed they'd been picking safes without keyholes with bobby pins the whole time

Rusty car turned out to be the most dangerous Predator of the Wasteland in Fallout 4 due to typical Bethesda bugs

Some enemies in games you actually prepare for: you hear a deathclaw roar behind a hill, count your ammo, gear up in power armor. Others make no sound, don't show up on the compass, and...

Fallout 4 fan showed how to turn a supermarket shopping cart into an equivalent of power armor using Bethesda's famous game physics

Fallout 4 fans recalled the best companion interactions – Strong and Hancock, and Danse and Valentine are the most memorable

Companions in Fallout 4 usually exist for two reasons: carrying loot and soaking up bullets meant for the hero. But what actually sticks in people's memory isn't their combat stats – it's the moment a...

A Fallout 4 fan noticed that Desdemona from the Railroad crosses out the player's name from the list of living agents immediately after teleporting into the Institute

Usually a hero dies in an RPG behind a loading screen, and the world around them never even notices. Much creepier is the other version, where you're alive, well, and locked inside a suit of...

Fallout 4 veteran stumbles upon a random encounter with Skinny Malone for the first time in three thousand hours

Sparing an enemy in Bethesda games usually just means saving a few bullets and picking up a tiny bit of experience. But every once in a while, mercy pays off hundreds of hours later in...

Some Fallout 4 fans were surprised to learn that the game is literally packed with references to Blade Runner

A good science fiction setting rarely exists in a vacuum – it always builds on the shoulders of genre classics. But when a game manages to weave in not just a reference, but an entire...

Fallout fans wondered how characters manage to see anything through the power armor helmet

Fallout 4 fan raised an odd question – how many years of cleaning would it take Codsworth to turn the Wasteland from a dump into a decent place to live

The Mr. Handy robot butler series was built for suburban household chores – mowing the lawn, wiping down countertops, cooking dinner. Sending one of these things to clean up a ransacked amusement park where three...
