Maybe these unused concepts will make it into future games? It’s been known to happen. So from creatures to gear to character designs, there is actually a lot to look over. I own a copy Fallout 3’s collector's edition concept art book (came with a Vault lunchbox!) and it’s loaded with cool ideas that did not make it into the final game product. That’s not all, but Fallout 3 had a lot of creatures cut that we can see concept art of, such as wastewolves, abominations, and piggy bank grenades. The FEV strain responsible for the Centaur monstrosities, created by Vault-Tec, is the one we find in Fallout 3, while the more controlled FEV in 4. I’ve been in the midst of re-playing Fallout 4 (need to actually play the DLC now), so a lot of ideas have been rattling in my mind lately of some ideas that could’ve been, like Hancock having hair or the Institute having their own type of Power Armor.
The concept art even inspired some fans to create mods for some of this cut out content! Just flipping through the pages gets you excited about world-building, drawing, and coming up with ideas for the Fallout universe. The concept art books for the Fallout franchise contain amazing illustrations.
