Fallout 4 And Skyrim Universes Linked By Easter Egg

A neat little Easter egg found in Fallout 4 may connect Bethesda’s post-apocalyptic open-world videogame franchise to its fantasy-themed open-world videogame franchise, The Elder Scrolls.

Mild SPOILERS that are not related to main story quest of Fallout 4 may follow.

If your Vault-dweller choses to ally himself or herself with the Brotherhood of Steel, you may find yourself on board the faction’s airship, the Pyrdwen. While investigating the Pyrdwen, you may come across a research station where various flora and fauna are being examined. Most of these species are common enough in the Commonwealth, but there is one exception.

Really really stupid theory. Fallout was created by Tim Cain and Black Isle, TES was made by Bethesda.

This isn't even a real easter egg. You Bethsoft fans go really far and try your hardest to force both these series to become one franchise ever since Beth bought Fallout and turned it to TES with guns.

Next you'll claim that Deathclaws are descendants or ancestors of dragons.

BlackTar1873840d ago

great thinking. I bet the deathclaws are the descendants of the elder scrolls dragons. Man you should get paid to write NOC backstories

Sciurus_vulgaris3840d ago

Deathclaws are mutant Jackson's Chameleons.

CorndogBurglar3840d ago

Lol true.

This is a bit silly. I mean, there's a Dragonborn helmet in the new Wolfenstein. Does that mean those are linked too?

Its just a stupid easter egg for laughs.

Valenka3840d ago

Are you kidding me? I wouldn't really call that an Easter egg either, but that is clearly Nirnroot from the Elder Scrolls series.

Eidolon3840d ago

I'm pretty sure it is, but this guy has serious denial, but it doesn't link the universes, that's just plain silly.

LAWSON723840d ago

This is silly but this comment is too if not more so lol

JsonHenry3840d ago

@Sullynathan-
The amount of rage you harbor for this possibility made me laugh so hard my sides hurt. hahahahahaha

It is obviously supposed to be related to nirnroot. But I will agree it means nothing in the way of the two worlds being tied together. Just something fun the devs did to amuse themselves most likely.

sullynathan3840d ago

why do you assume that I have rage?

JsonHenry3840d ago

I'm not being serious man. I just read your comment with a visual of an angry person about to pop a blood-vessel in their eyes.

Hereiamhereibe23840d ago

The author is pretty insan to think an easter egg makes the stories coincide but he does not speak for all Bethy fans as a whole.

BongSmack3839d ago

Based on the what was said in the article, if this theory (which the author basically said is fun to consider but he doesn't actually believe) is true, then The dragons would be the descendants not the deathclaws.

Mithan3839d ago

TES would be a predecessor if it happened. ie- Fallout's distant future.

You could even tie the two together if you wished too.

Fallout being created by Tim Cain is irrelevant, if they wanted to tie the worlds together, they could via writing, done.

However, this is just the developers having fun. I wouldn't be surprised if TES6 has something in it from Fallout at some point.

sullynathan3839d ago

so the fact that both TES and Fallout were created by two different companies means nothing? Even worse you think Beth and their writing team could even come up with a sensible reason for both verses existing together?

Mithan3838d ago

@sullynathan
Of course it means nothing, the writing can always do whatever you want to do.

You could write Superman becoming Batman if you wanted too.

sullynathan3838d ago

You really don't care at all about consistency

Mithan3837d ago

@sullynathan you don't get it do you lol.

They can WRITE anything to happen.

Is this the guys first Easter egg? Jeez

Lighter93840d ago

The only Easter eggs I've found are sweetrolls.

UnHoly_One3840d ago

The "someone stole your sweetroll" line that the guards in Skyrim say is actually an Easter Egg referencing the beginning of Fallout 3.

Hereiamhereibe23840d ago

I honestly hope you don't believe that.

ABeastNamedTariq3840d ago

@Hereiam

I believe it because it's true

UnHoly_One3840d ago (Edited 3840d ago )

Huh, apparently this started with the first Elder Scrolls games and has been ongoing ever since.

http://elderscrolls.wikia.c...

Pintheshadows3840d ago

At the beginning of Morrowind you are asked a series of questions to determine your characters starting stats and one of them is in relation to someone stealing your sweet roll and how you would react to that.

Just saying.

Lighter93840d ago

Click on Unholy_One's link. It originated in TES: Arena.

UnHoly_One3839d ago

Yeah I have to admit I did not play an Elder Scrolls prior to Oblivion, nor a Fallout prior to 3, so I didn't know any of this.

I wonder if anyone commenting actually read the article.

"So could the universe of Fallout be connected to The Elder Scrolls? Maybe, but the Fallout games are known for their humor, so I’d take this more as a wink and a nod than as a canonical prelude to a crossover."

It's clear the author doesn't really think it's anything more than a regular old easter egg.

Lighter93839d ago

I wish TES and Fallout were related, but there's one huge thing that stands out: Our world and Tamriel are vastly different.

Todd Howard on 10 years of Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls 6: 'We needed a creative reset'

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot208d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder207d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain207d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
