AFallout 3player online has discovered a surprising detail in the Bethesda RPG almost 17 years after its release. ThisFallout 3discovery could surprise even veteran players of the game due to its rarity, even if some may have stumbled upon it before.
It’s a testament to the level of detail found in Bethesda titles that players will often find new details in them long after their release. This doesn’t just apply toFallout 3, either.One veteranSkyrimplayer made a major Conjuration realizationafter 14 years, while players frequently point out new discoveries in titles likeFallout 4andStarfield, too. It’s part of the Bethesda appeal - if players feel like there’s still some stones left unturned, then there’s always motivation to come back for one more playthrough.
As spotted byTheGamer, Redditor devo752 discovered aFallout 3random encounterthat they hadn’t seen yet, almost 17 years after its launch. Upon discovering a bunch of dead mirelurks, they were met by a Brotherhood of Steel Initiate who had been tasked with pulling all the dead creatures from the freshly-purified water in the Capital Wasteland and torching them. After speaking to the Initiate, they actually got on with their job of roasting the mirelurks, adding a little more authenticity to the unique interaction.
Fallout 3 Player Notices Unique Random Encounter After Nearly 17 Years
There were several comments in the thread claiming to have never seen this random encounter, either. It was pointed out that it can only be encountered withFallout 3’sBroken SteelDLCinstalled, which could explain why some had never stumbled upon it previously. Another user proposed a slightly unsettling theory, asking, “I wonder if they plan on eating it later?”
At the moment, the idea ofFallout 5releasing any time soon feels like a pipe dream, especially given the fact that Bethesda is currently occupied with the development ofThe Elder Scrolls 6. However,rumors of a possibleFallout 3remaster continue to swirl, with some suggesting that the 2008 game will be given theOblivion Remasteredtreatment. As with any rumor, this should be taken with a pinch of salt, but it’s certainly something forFalloutfans to watch with interest.
