Fallout’s greatest mystery was actually debunked years ago

Much like The Elder Scrolls series from Bethesda, the world of Fallout is packed full of secrets and lore waiting to be discovered. However, one of Fallout’s greatest mysteries was actually debunked years ago.

Since the release ofFallout 3in 2008 forPC,PlayStation3 andXbox360, the Vault Boy has become the iconic mascot of the post-apocalyptic RPG series. He can be found in-game letting you know what each perk is before upgrading, he’s the poster boy of Fallout marketing material and he can also be purchased in many forms of memorabilia. Even if you’ve never played aFalloutgame, the chances are that you’ll recognise his face. Simply put, he’s one of the most recognisable mascots in the history of video games.
