At this stage we must cede that a great amount of what we believe we know about Fallout 4 is based on the leaked casting documents and ideally it would be best to attain some other sources to corroborate the conclusions weve come to. Here is something else we believe we know thanks to those invaluable documents. It is suggested that the playable character in the next Fallout game much like Philip J. Fry has awakened from a cryogenic sleep chamber. Unlike Fry however, the hero will not wake up in the fairly pleasant New New York of the year 3000 but instead emerges from a centuries-long sleep to find himself in a Boston savaged by nuclear war. The characters opening monologue viewable in the casting documents makes it clear that he/she is totally oblivious of everything that has happened during their cryo-sleep. In using this trope Bethesda have cleverly ensured that their NPCs have the freedom to explain even the most obvious things to the character without it sounding implausible.
