Something that not many players may know is a hidden reference in Bethesda’s hit title relating to the critically acclaimed tv show Lost. Comedian Dan Wilbur replies to a Twitter question regarding “useless video game knowledge,” sharing that a quarry in Fallout 4 holds a secret chain of events that serves as a nod to the show, with a reward for those who discover it.

Interestingly enough, Wilbur’s reply created a forum of discussion as fans came to clarify and debate whether this is a reference to Lost or a novel by H.P. Lovecraft, Dunwich Horrors. An artist who worked on Fallout’s Deathclaw came to Dan’s defense to confirm that Dan’s assumption is correct, as both worked on Fallout 4 and were fans of Lost.

Since its debut in 2015, Fallout 4 has been heralded as one of Bethesda’s greatest hits, as it built on everything the previous iteration cemented in its post-apocalyptic world. Just a few weeks ago, a YouTuber created a mash-up of Shrek and Fallout 4, with the final product proving to be an ambitious crossover the gaming industry needs more.

I love almost every type of video game, and when I'm not playing them, I'm writing about them... a lot. I have too many favorites to list so feel free to ask about them! Long live Ugly Sonic and the Resident Evil 3 Remake (this is a meme btw).
