Immediately, the player is asked to look around and gather clues, which are partially gathered by interviewing hotel residents.

When the player enters Brain Dead in Fallout 4, they walk into fresh crime scene, and all the vault citizens are crowded around the body, causing a commotion. The pacing and overall design of the quest and the mod are different as well. That said, the refined air makes way more sense for a hotel than it does a library. Technically, both the mod and the quest end up with a vault populated by robots, some of which are human-like and some of which are there to perform a duty… but the details are still pretty distinct from each other.īoth the quest and the mod have a similar vibe, in that the player has to navigate an upscale vault. When the player reaches the hotel, most of it is inhabited by ghouls, with the exception of the moneyed guests, who have managed to survive the apocalypse in robotic bodies, and electric concierges, who dutifully keep things running in the hotel. In a twist, one of the affluent patrons convinced the other dwellers to transfer their brains into robot bodies so that they could live forever. The inequality was basically a ticking time bomb. Meanwhile, the wealthy dwellers could expect to have every whim and desire catered to by the masses living on the poor side of the vault. The average vault dweller was set-up to have a miserable experience inside, with their wing of the vault designed to be cramped and uncomfortable. The hotel was thus built with two wings: One for the working class, and one for the rich. In Fallout 4, the hotel is a vault where a Vault-Tec experiment was meant to be held. To back this claim up, BaronVonChateau supplied a number of comparative screenshots that do indeed make the similarities seem uncanny:įor one, let’s consider the narrative wrapper: It is completely different. And according to BaronVonChateau, the similarities between this quest and Autumn Leaves are too strong to ignore.īoth Brain Dead and Autumn Leaves feature “a colourful cast of excentric robots, in charge of a forgotten Vault where a strange murder happened,” BaronVonChateau wrote in a blog post. Within it, there is a quest called “Brain Dead” that tasks the player with solving a murder mystery within a hotel. Some of these robots were programmed to have unique personalities, and the player can spend quality time speaking to all of them about the philosophical ramifications of being a non-human consciousness.įast-forward to 2016, and Bethesda releases a DLC add-on to Fallout 4 called Far Harbor. Without any other inhabitants to keep him company, the man decided to build a cadre of robots who could safeguard the library. The library was transformed into a vault, where one man accidentally got trapped inside earlier than anticipated. Autumn Leaves’ premise: A group of wealthy men came together to build a library where “history and culture could be preserved”.
