Summary
AFallout 4player online has noticed a cool detail about the Diamond City store, Swatters, nine years after the game was first released by Bethesda. Diamond City is arguablyFallout 4’s most iconic location, but even that still has some hidden secrets.
Bethesda’s attention to detail inFallout 4continues to surprise almost a decade after it was released. There are still veteran players discovering new things, and that’s partially the reason many stick around. It’s a cool feeling to find something extremely niche that feels extremely well hidden, andFallout 4organically creates a ton of those moments for players. There was even aFallout 4player who found a bizarre preserved pie detail, so there are clearly nuggets of details hidden around the game still to discover.
Redditor OneCauliflower5243 noticed that Moe Cronin’s store, Swatters, is shaped like the brim of a baseball cap. Located in the heart ofFallout 4’s Diamond City, Moe Cronin is a baseball enthusiast who doesn’t quite understand the rules of the pre-war game. He sends players on the Out in Left Field quest, which, again, is baseball-related. His store being shaped like the brim of a baseball cap is a great piece of world building. It’s subtle enough to go totally unnoticed by most players, making it a great surprise for those perceptive enough to discover it.

In a similar vein, another user in the thread pointed out that the game’s cigarette machines actually resemble a flip-lighter. The entire thread turned into a celebration of these little details, with one gamer admitting, “It took me longer than I would like to admit before I realized Diamond City is a baseball stadium.” This is less of a smallFallout 4detail, but it’s still funny to think about nonetheless.
All eyes are on Bethesda now with what it plans to do with theFalloutIP. It’s no secret that the studio is currently occupied withThe Elder Scrolls 6, and actively working on two flagship titles at a time seems unlikely at this point. The nextElder Scrollstitle could still be years away yet, and it’ll be interesting to see if Bethesda entrusts the series with another studio in the meantime.Fallout: New Vegasis the gold standard for the positive results this approach can yield. Just recently,Fallout: New Vegasdirector Josh Sawyer spoke of the possibility of a series return, but anything until Bethesda confirms anything concrete is purely speculation.
