Changes: Unusual Call Box

Revision as of 11:57, 20 February 2020

“To the Northeast you spot a police box.”— In-game description

Unusual Call Box is a special encounter in Fallout.

Overview

When the Vault Dweller enters the map, all that can be seen (beyond the usual desert dust) is a large blue police call box. These were a common sight on the island of Great Britain during the 1960s. When the Vault Dweller approaches this strangely-located object, the light on top starts spinning, and the box slowly vanishes into thin air with a whooshing sound, leaving behind only a motion sensor.

Behind the scenes

This encounter is a reference to the British sci-fi show Doctor Who, and the blue box is the Doctor's time travel machine, the TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space), which is bigger on the inside.
