The most interesting and widely praised decision in this department is far and away the decision to include cryptids, creatures based primarily on the real world myths, folklore and urban legends of West Virginia. You just need to give the game a chance to share them.Think what you will of Fallout 76, the bottom line is that through the cavalcade of bugs and quirky design decisions, they certainly played to their strengths concerning the bestiary of irradiated horrors that haunt the Appalachian countryside. Dig a little deeper into the game’s mythology and there’s plenty of lovely little secrets like these to find. Fallout 76 is no exception, and every creature you encounter is entrenched in deeply fascinating, real life lore. While reported sightings dried up around the 1920s, there are many that still believe it’s out there, wandering the woods at night in search of its next meal.įallout has always been a series inspired by mythology, conspiracy theories and folktales, from the radiation-poisoned ghouls to the fabled Mole Men rumoured to be living beneath our feet.
