It helped my settlement at Sanctuary Hills seem more habitable and homely. I figured if I was really in a dire survival situation, with bandits knocking at the door to my home, pictures of cute cats could help push the prospect of death into the back of my mind. So, I did what any logical, self-respecting cat person would do – I plastered pictures of kittens all over the place (in my defense, I also posted some dog pictures). I tried to brighten up the desolate wasteland that was Sanctuary Hills with a variety of happy pictures. I took my role as the benevolent Lone Wanderer seriously. Among the possible decoration choices in the settlements are a variety of cat pictures. You’re even able to deck-out your settlements with things like flags and pictures.Īnd that’s how Fallout 4 knew. You’re able to build fantastic structures, work with electricity, create defenses to protect your settlers and grow your own crops.

The settlement system in Fallout 4 is great. That’s right, the Diamond City deejay heckled my settlement at Sanctuary Hills as a haven for cat people. “If you’re the sort of person who, uh… likes cats… and is maybe looking for adventure, or something – you now have a new option,” said Travis Miles on Diamond City Radio. Although I normally keep the Pip-Boy radio off in-game (I like to listen to the ambiance, and the Diamond City deejay drives me nuts since I used to be a deejay), I had turned it back on earlier this week to see what was being said about the Lone Wanderer.

I have two of them, but how did developer Bethesda and Fallout 4 know?Īs I delved deeper and deeper into the Wasteland, taking notes for my eventual review, I came across something interesting.
