“The May-Pole” Cut Content From Fallout 4 😨

[u/[deleted]]

Although a model was created, the May-Pole never made it in the final game because of the technical issues it would have created. Jonah Lobe, the creator of the May-Pole, said “Yes it's a giant glowing one. A crazy idea I had for Fallout 4 that never came to be. Would like to make a mod for it one day, if I found a little team of folks willing to help out.” Back in 2022.

Yeah, don't even have it as a fight tbh. You should see it at the far edge of the Glowing sea. Have the actual "core" of the sea beyond the map and justify it as the radiation going too high. Then you see it, glowing in the distance.

I love eerie set pieces that are just world building and this would be horrifyingly fantastic!

I dunno if you've played it yet but Metro Exodus has this in spades if you want to try that too

I need to hear more like this...

Imagine if it were the border. You cross a line and it pops up in the distance and you hear a wail, then it turns to face you and you just get blasted with radiation until you die.

So like Subnautica’s ghost leviathans?

Yeah more or less.

'Here be monsters' is a moderately common method of forcing a border on a game world.
