Fallout fans have found an open-world detail that’s blowing them away, proving Bethesda is the king of environmental storytelling when it wants to be.
Open-world games are a dime-a-dozen nowadays, but a truly good game uses its openness to tell the story. Show, don’t tell - that sort of thing.
Astro Botlaunches on PlayStation 5 tomorrow! Will you be playing?
Red Dead Redemption 2andThe Witcher 3: Wild Huntare prime examples of an open-world done right, but I don’t thinkFallout 4gets the credit it deserves.

You see a lot of skeletons inFalloutgames, usually whoever got caught in the blast when the bombs dropped, though this skeleton is labelled as Day Tripper, with the post saying, “Poor guy couldn’t even buy one last fix.”
Fans were impressed with the small detail, and hopefully we’ll see a lot more inFallout 5, wheneverBethesdaplans to release it anyway.
“The amount of environmental storytelling in Fallout will always blow my mind. I always explore as much as I can to find stuff like this but it seems like I always see a post about something I missed!” said one player.

“I find it funny that the shirts, pants and even the hat survived but shoes and socks… nope… lol,” added another.
“The skellies in Fallout are so funny when you think about them realistically; as if everyone just powered down the moment the bombs dropped lmao. The nukes woulda ragdolled them,” said one more commenter.
If you haven’t playedFallout 4in a while, or ever for that matter, it’s worth going back to as there have been several updates adding new content to the game.
