Expect tons of weird and wonderful Easter eggs in Fallout 4
The Fallout series firmly established that Easter eggs will survive the apocalypse, from crashed Star Trek shuttle craft to Holy Frag Grenades, and it looks like Fallout 4 will continue to carry the basket with pride. Game director Todd Howard told Mingle Media TV at Fallout 4's Los Angeles launch party that you should expect the egg hunt to be lengthy..
"We want [players] to find them," Howard said. "And it will take a while. But there's a ton, really good stuff."
But even after you explore every nook and mirelurk-infested cave in the Commonwealth, Fallout 4 will have more surprises on the way. Howard said Bethesda plans to "see what people like, what they want more of, what they want different" and use that to shape its DLC and free updates. That's about as good of a reason as any to not have the actual contents of Fallout 4's Season Pass locked down.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
