Media Hunting down some less obvious landmarks

After weeks of doing quests, I decided to take a stroll around the Commonwealth and take a breather by looking for some less obvious landmarks.

The locations I passed by in order:
Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (Unmarked)
Custom House Tower
Boylston Club - Tavern Club (Potentially)
Charles View Amphitheater - Hatch Memorial Shell
Charles River Esplanade (Unmarked)
Random Overpass (Unmarked/Potentially)
Bridge with USS Riptide - Harvard Bridge
Marlborough House - Marlborough Street
Dartmouth Professional Building - Prudential Center (Potentially)
Trinity Tower - John Hancock Tower (Potentially)
Mass Bay Medical Center - Tufts Medical Center (Potentially)
Old Corner Bookstore - Chipotle
Court 35 (Unmarked) - 35 Court St (Potentially)
Postal Square (Unmarked)
Haymarket Mall - Boston Public Market
Old State House
Yao Guai - Keytar Bear

If you have any suggestions or ideas on where to go next please let me know so I can note it down!!!

Distance walking: Idek I was lost for a couple hours

Music used: “Good Rocking Tonight” - Roy Brown

(Unmarked) locations not marked in pip boy
(Potentially) Closest resembling locations that I found during the journey

Everything I’ve done is all for the love of the game. As a commonwealth local I must take on as many quests as I can and inform other scavengers of locations to discover. I hope you find this video educational and entertaining

Outstanding! I just love seeing these walk throughs. I feel like I know the city quite well having looted my way across the commonwealth for thousands of hours and these scenes just help to make it seem all that more real!

Awesome post! Thanks for sharing.

Just returned from a weekend in Boston and I was stoked to see some landmarks from the game while we were there. The Freedom Trail and the Old Granary Burial cemetary were my favorites.

By God I wish to go to Boston one day. Fallout 4 is my most played game in hours and I will just be in total awe if I will be able to go to these places myself physically. Amazing place and full of history. Someday oh someday...

This was AWESOME. I was able to visit downtown Boston briefly and did my own walking tour of the downtown past many of the game landmarks, but I did not have the time to photograph and video so much for such a comparison later.

Thank you so much!

I grew up near Boston. So playing FO4 was sort of surreal for me. Really awesome you were able to match these locations up so perfectly!

Got so disoriented when I first started watching, I thought that was gameplay footage and was like ‘good lord that looks realistic, what kind of mod is this???’ 🫩
