AFallout 4player has made an incredibly unnerving discovery in the game, which could shock even the most experienced players.Fallout 4has thousands of details tucked away in every corner, but not all of them have as much of a dark implication as this one.
Bethesda games have always been known for their incredible storytelling within the world, extending beyondFallout 4. The developer has become a master of painting many different micro-stories through a variety of methods. OneFallout 4player made a morbid discovery about the Lover’s Embrace perkrecently, which shows how Bethesda even manages to tell stories through the game’s perk system. Over the years, Bethesda has shown amazing versatility in its storytelling techniques, whether it be through terminals, quests, or any other avenue it decides is worth experimenting with.

The unnerving find was discovered by Redditor epicvipes17. In the image posted online, the player has found what appears to be a baby skeleton hidden away to be discovered. It’s an extremely sad discovery that makes players think about the harsh realities ofFallout 4’s wasteland setting. At times, theFalloutgames can often be camp in tone, but it can be important to remember that there’s a very serious undertone there. These types of stories are included as a reminder of that. It definitely brings down the mood, but if everything is camp all the time, there can never be any real stakes in theFalloutgames.
While some claimed that the post could be due to aFallout 4modgone wrong, the user claims that their playthrough is completely vanilla, so it’s clear this was an intentional detail included in the game by Bethesda. According to others in the thread, it can be found in Mass Bay Medical, and it’s currently unknown if there are any other creepy discoveries in the same building waiting to be made by the community.
There’s no doubt that environmental storytelling will be akey feature inFallout 5when it eventually releases. Bethesda has made it such an important part of its games that it would be strange to see it take a back seat in future titles. The exciting part is that Bethesda still has to releaseStarfieldandThe Elder Scrolls 6beforeFallout 5can be considered. Sure, the long wait is awful, but it gives Bethesda time to hone its storytelling skills even more, andFallout 5can only reap the huge benefits of that in the future.
Fallout 4is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions coming in 2023.
