An enthusiastic Fallout 4 fan decided to reimagine the appearance of Breaking Bad's Walter White within the game, achieving surprisingly impressive results. Despite the initial odd pairing, the transition of the infamous drug dealer from the renowned AMC series into the post-apocalyptic universe of Fallout 4 seems oddly fitting.
With the Fallout series riding high on popularity due to the massive success of the Amazon TV show, more players are experimenting with Bethesda's renowned role-playing games, showcasing the unique player characters they craft. One individual, for example, successfully recreated Norm from the Fallout TV series within Fallout 4. Another fan meticulously replicated Lucy, a key character from Prime Video's well-received live-action Fallout adaptation. However, this recent player character recreation stands out for its humor as it draws inspiration from a completely different TV show.
Sharing on the r/Fallout subreddit, a Reddit user named FlaminHot_Depression presented a gallery featuring their interpretation of Walter White, the teacher-turned-drug-lord, in Fallout 4. The resemblance of their player character to the iconic protagonist from the seminal AMC series is striking, almost resembling an official crossover skin.
The initial screenshot displayed their Walter White doppelganger in an RV, replicating a memorable scene from Breaking Bad where he is in underwear. Subsequent images captured the character in a bright blue vault suit, striking ominous poses across various Fallout 4 locations. Additionally, Walter White sported a VaultTec-branded party hat in one of the snapshots.
Responses to this post were flooded with humorous comments from Redditors, with one user joking about the origin of 'blue mentats' and another suggesting the absence of an excessive amount of Pre-War cash and Mentats. The comment section was filled with Fallout-themed adaptations of famous Breaking Bad quotes, adding a touch of whimsical relevance to the recreation.
Fans Pay Tribute to Breaking Bad Across Various Games
Fans have paid homage to Breaking Bad in multiple popular games like Grand Theft Auto 5, Minecraft, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Bloodborne, and even Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Players have accomplished remarkable feats, from transforming Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan into Walter White to recreating Saul Goodman in Fallout 76. It appears imminent that the entire Breaking Bad cast may find their virtual forms in games like Fallout 4 soon.
