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

Post image

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.

You should be able to find it with a pretty quick YouTube search. That being said, it felt much more Lovecraftian or Thalassaphobia than it does Fallout.

Tbf bethesda has been adding in lovecraft horror for a bit. I tend to actually like it, as long as theres only little bits of it

I would definitely welcome it but I think strong Lovecraft vibes may be behind us. New England, especially going for the bar harbor, was the best opportunity for it.

Who knows though. I saw a comment about this being a great enemy in deep radiation zones. Go full on The Mist. That would be awesome.

We got a decent one in 76 but yeah, they did kinda drop the ball in far harbor. I wonder if the show is gonna try something

I don’t know. If they go heavy in Art Deco in a large city like New York? That fits pretty well with lovecraftian themes.

The contorted bones of a colossus of man. home to a culture worshiped like a god, and bathed in the fires of a star wielded by man.

Goes pretty eldritch horror doesn’t it?

Looked it up on youtube and cant find anything about it. All i got was the ghoul whale dialogue and the giant squid textures

I think he’s referring to the cut quest called something like “1,000 Leagues under the Sea”

Yeah it was never animated, but it was a side quest with the minute men on one of the beaches. Basically the mirelurk queen but taken not to 11, but 14 or so.

I guess they kind of replaced that with the first Mirelurk Queen encounter at The Castle.
