Companions Quote Monty Python

Fallout 4 sneaks in a good three Monty Python and the Holy Grail references through your companions. Cait can bring up the Black Knight fight ('what are you gonna do, leak oil all over me?'), Codsworth has his own Black Knight line ('Tis but a scratch!'), and Deacon has a whole bit about taunting turrets that mirrors the French Knight scene. All of it can slip by completely unnoticed if you're not paying attention to companion chatter.

MacCready's Library Line

Bring MacCready along to the Boston Public Library and he'll drop a line straight out of Ghostbusters. Walking into the ransacked main hall, he mutters something like 'no human being would possibly pile books this way' - a direct riff on Bill Murray's line during the Ghostbusters' library scene. Small moment, but it lands if you know the movie.

Seven Years In The Making

Fallout 4's first piece of concept art was made in 2009, about a week after Fallout 3's final DLC wrapped up, meaning the game had already been quietly cooking for roughly seven years by the time it launched in 2015. Lead artist Istvan Pely stuck with the Fallout concept work rather than moving onto Skyrim with the rest of the team.

Todd Howard Has Been Living In This World For Over A Decade

Bethesda's Todd Howard came on board as an executive producer, bringing over ten years of history with the franchise as both director and producer on the games themselves. Having him in the room helped keep the show's tone and world-building honest to what longtime players already know.
