For all the Annes, Barts, Carloses, Drakes, and Fatimas upset that your name was omitted from Fallout 4 , Bethesda has come bearing good news! The 1.6 update does more than add fixes that improve gameplay or add helpful features. It’ll make you feel more comfortable in the game! Codsworth has learned 300 more names, which could make for a more personal experience for all those Joffreys, Keiths, and Leeloos out there.
Naturally, because this is 2016, people have found out what those 300 new names are. (Bless you, data miners!) A full list was posted on Reddit by Sable17 . It’s an image, so you can’t Ctrl+F your way to see if your moniker is there, but it is alphabetical!
This isn’t the only part of the update. We have temporary ExitSaves for all difficulty levels and modes, which are made when you exit and deleted after loading them. Also, the Workshop mode has icons for the add-on items.
Here’s the full Fallout 1.6 update list. It’s live on PCs, so let us know if you’re seeing and noticing a difference!
