Summary
A cleverFallout 4player has completed an entire playthrough of the game while roleplaying as Super Mario. The main restriction for this uniqueFallout 4playthrough was that they could only deal damage via Power Armor landings, making combat extremely tedious.
Like any good RPG,Fallout 4gives players tons of options when it comes to building their initial character. Players aren’t locked into any kind of playthrough from the offset, but it can put players on the right track. This gives the game lots of replayability, with gamers able to play throughFallout 4multiple times and have a completely different experience. Some players even put self-restrictions on their playthroughs, with one gamer choosing tobeatFallout 4while roleplaying as Lucy MacLeanfrom the franchise’s TV adaption. BecauseFallout 4allows players to make different choices, this can even affect how players handle them.
Redditor CausalLoop25 shared their unique playthrough ofFallout 4, after beating the game using only Power Armor landing damage. This mirrors Super Mario’s stomp attack, which is iconic to the character at this point. To make it even more authentic, they even used aFallout 4modto add a Mario hat, which they claimed they had to wear throughout the entire playthrough. When asked how they managed to defeat Kellogg, CausalLoop 25 responded, “Jetpack and a lot of drugs.” This is likely how they handled just about every single combat encounter inFallout 4, given the restrictions of the challenge.

According to the player, they had to useFallout 4console commandsto get the jetpack from the start of the game. Without it, the “challenge would have been a glorified pacifist run,” so it makes sense that they allowed themselves this one command. However, to balance things out and make it fair, they ensured they used the first set of T-45 Power Armor found at the very beginning of the game for the duration of the playthrough without any upgrades.
WhileFallout 4still has plenty of gas left in the tank, there are no doubt gamers who want news about a potential sequel. After all, it has been almost a decade sinceFallout 4’s release at this point, and the franchise has only become more popular in the years since. However, the ongoingdevelopment ofThe Elder Scrolls 6means that any news about a new BethesdaFalloutis likely a long way away right now. The studio has become a victim of its own success - balancingThe Elder Scrolls,Starfield, andFalloutsimultaneously has led to longer development times and bigger gaps between titles.
