We could play as the Mysterious Stranger!

The supernatural has always been part of Fallout, and I hope they will keep doing it in future games. Hunting down an eldritch being would be cool for a side quest, or perhaps a DLC but I don't think it should be a main story point.

So long as its not a Fallout game.

^So an Elder Scrolls game?

They’ve sprinkled bits in both Fallout and TES already. Might be a little much for Fallout, but you could definitely get the idea across with mutants and pysker like characters in tandem. Creating the illusion of the entry level Lovecraft by way of SCIENCE.

But embracing the usually minor quest represented supernatural? Might be a little too much for a base game. Though I would love to see pyker like abilities given to the player, that’s not the set up I would want.

^The way I was thinking of approaching this would be something similar to just having a crazy cult. They took someone or something from you, or are after you. You fight them to get your freedom or what was stolen, and progressively find that the rabbit hole you entered is weirder than you first expected.

^ I think that would be great for a DLC but it's not really the type of story for a base game imo

What your saying kind of sounds like a game called Hunt Showdown. You search for clues and hunt down monsters though it’s a multiplayer game.

Given that with Fo3 and NV there was atleast one DLC a piece that had permission to go fully off the rails and explore the more science-fantasy aspects of Fallout's story- it's kind of a shame they didn't do something like this for Fallout 4. I'd happily trade in Automatron and VTW for something like Zeta or OWB.

If im not wrong supernatural/eldritch have been elements for as early as the first game (and its been in multiple other games, be it regular gameplay or through special traits. It would be nice to have a questline involving it. A great idea would be to develop a seperate smaller game with that as a main theme.

But Dyre wolf is speaking facts, since aliens are cannon in fallout lore, there probably could be some scientific explanation about all the lovecraftian (as with the ancient ruins and artifacts mentioned in the cabbot questline)

^^^Someone at bethesda got the idea first, thats the story of point lookout dlc

And to some extent the far harbor aswell
