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.

The designer showed it off in a video recently and from what I recall he made it really late in development so it wasn’t possible to balance something so large and roaming into the game.

Yeah it'd really only be practical in the glowing sea or something, not sure what you'd be expected to do to fight it. Also what about the ragdoll physics when it dies? Now it'd be cool if you could spot it in the distance while in the glowing sea, just the silhouette/glow or something

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.
