Fallout 4: 10 New Details We Learned From The Leaked Footage

2. Salem Will Probably Be In The Game

Another noteworthy fact about the map (that's way too exciting not to have its own heading) is that it covers Salem - the site of the infamous witch trials in 1692 during which over 20 women were executed for alleged witchcraft. Now, Salem in the 17th century and Salem in a post-nuclear 23rd century are probably two very different places, but surely Bethesda can implement some poetic license here and make the reputedly occult and spooky town a place of some note in Fallout 4? There could be an all-womens' faction, for example, embittered by events all those hundreds of years ago and now ruling over the town with an iron fist. Or perhaps it could contain an occult group, with a quest-line that sees you dig deeper and deeper into the organisation. Whatever the case, Salem - with its black wooden houses and creepy colonial architecture - will almost certainly be in the game, and it'd be a sin punishable by the Pear of Anguish (which I won't explain here) if Bethesda didn't take advantage of the setting.
