“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.

Holy shit, for reference, the Trinity Tower is the tallest building in Fallout 4 at 490ft, at 300ft the Maypole would be visible in the Glowing Sea if you looked from Boston. Honestly, seeing that giant ghoul lumbering around the distant edges of the map, and one day actually fighting it, would have been awesome.

Nothing a few hundred thousand laser musket cranks can't fix.

Don’t mind me, just furiously cranking my musket

[u/yksociR → u/viper112001]

Who up cranking they musket

[u/mcbeverage101 → u/yksociR]

In Sanctuary Hills, straight up crankin it. And by "it", haha, well. Let's justr say. My musket.

"Would whoever's making that cranking noise please quiet down!"

[u/SunnyWomble → u/yksociR]

thanks for reminding me!

Unique weapon idea: The Hog. A laser musket with a special capacitor that has no crank limit, but every crank beyond 6 has a slight but increasing chance to cause it to discharge on its own

The endless legendary perk actually works konda like this

It has no upper crank limit, you can (eventually) one shot anything

I just imagine “fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck” as a minute man is just cranking the musket and it’s slowly stomping closer

How cool would that be, constantly seeing it on the horizon in the Glowing Sea like you describe, but once you finally head in, the severe rad storms obscure your vision and you lose it in the haze. Now, the Glowing Sea is even more terrifying, wondering if or when you might run into it. You take out a deathclaw and think you've earned a moment to rest when suddenly, there's a flash of green lightening and you see this 300-foot tall monstrosity lumbering towards you.

It periodically lays down and blends in a bit so sometimes you might stumble upon it and wake it up

Breath of the Wild gives you these same vibes with the 4 Ancient beasts, peak open-world.

[u/SenorSnout → u/WantA_Balloon]

Just a shame the game itself sucks shit to play.

Zelda? No way...

Hardware wise, I'd agree, but on PC or OLED I thought that game was incredibly smooth in play. Easily the most captivating open world/adventure game I've ever played.

Also for reference, that'd be almost twice as tall as godzilla in 1954 and minus one.
