We considered the designs of the plasma and laser guns from Fallout 3 to be pretty much perfect, so we didn't want to alter them any more than necessary. Still, this is Fallout, and there are some limitations on how advanced the tech can get; in certain ways development is quite stunted.

There was so much Bethesda could have done with the quarry, but time and technical limitations likely held them back from creating something amazing.We tried to maintain the individual identities of the different districts throughout downtown Boston. Much of the costume design in Fallout is a combination of repurposed prewar clothing and the crazier postwar ensembles that provide each faction with its distinct identity. There is also concept art of the player character and his faithful canine companion aboard a vertibird as well as fighting alongside the Brotherhood of Steel.

In this early version, the arms and legs needed more bulk to make room for the operator and the frame. Much of modern-day Boston's skyline consists of buildings that were constructed well after Fallout's timeline diverged from our own. The artwork suggests that the world will be much larger and varied, with richer colors and an almost suffocating amount of structures and landscape.Again, it seems that the art featured is Adam’s, as the only game Bethesda Game Studios was directly working on with this artwork was Fallout 4.

They may have also changed their minds to make the museum look more similar to the existing museum in Concord, Massachusetts. As players of the game know, Fallout in general has a dark, satirical take on the post-Apocalypse, with an almost wacky sense of humor about it. But because our firing and reloading animations needed to be shared with the standard laser set, this design was based on the same overall positioning for the animation touch points (such as the handle, foregrip, and ammo).But due to the engineering limitations of the bulky mini reactor engines, the packaging efficiency for most of the vehicles is poor. Its complement of Vertibirds are of a different variety than the gunships used by the Enclave—better suited to troop transport but modified for deployment from the airship.
