With Fallout’s new acquisition by Microsoft, many fans are hoping that the new management will provide the means necessary to devote more time to the Fallout Franchise and maybe even get some answers to some questions that have been brewing since the inception of the wasteland and the world the fallout takes place in.

The game is also the most recent in the timeline of the games universe so the questions left from this game might not be answered until Fallout 5. There are many many questions hidden in the lore of Fallout, found in terminals, and by listening to holotapes but these 10 unresolved storylines stick out the most.

10 Who are the Zetan Aliens

The world of Fallout is full of mythical creatures and urban legends come to life, and it even has aliens. With Fallout 3’s DLC, Mothership Zeta, players learned of the Zetan Aliens, a race of extraterrestrials that they soon get the chance to face.

Fallout 4 also references these aliens and one can even find stuffed toys resembling the aliens as well as comic books, games, and radio play about the alien. But neither game answers the question of where these aliens came from and why they are on Earth.

9 Where is Ol Peg?

With the Far Harbor DLC in Fallout 4, players learn about a mysterious huge whale saw out at sea thought to be a ghoul. As a player, one meets a caravan worker in the harbor and he tells of how his grandfather saw the ghoul whale one day and it was nicknamed Ol’ Peg. But players have explored the area, and although many whale skeletons are found, none of them are named Ol’ Peg.

One theory is that Ol’ Peg was supposed to be included in the game but was cut when features like underwater exploring and underground bunkers never made it into the game. Maybe a future DLC or Fallout 5 will include these features and players can finally uncover Ol’ Peg’s skeleton or encounter the beast in the flesh.

8 How Do The Children Of Atom Not Die From Radiation Exposure?

In Fallout 4 players come across a group of cultists that call themselves the Children of Atom. Now as far as the world of Fallout goes this is not that bizarre but what is bizarre is the fact that the colony’s home base is inside a highly radioactive area called the Glowing Sea, that renders anyone else without the right armor dead or turned into a ghoul, after too much exposure.

Is there really an entity named Atom protecting them from the radiation or is there something else players are missing? No one really knows for sure but some theories are that they have built up a tolerance to the radiation due to the small exposure over time, or that they are in the early stages of ghoulification.

7 What’s The Deal With All The Gnomes?

In Fallout 4 you can find random teddy bears, mannequins, and other toys arranged in odd and often amusing positions, which fans assume is just the game makers having some fun or it’s blamed on the raiders. But with the addition of the Far Harbor DLC, this practice seems to extend to garden gnomes.

They are everywhere in Fallout 4 but specifically, Far Harbor seems to have an abundance of them, and like a hilarious horror movie premise, many of them posed around skeletons in threatening positions, even holding weapons. It is enough to make players wonder if the gnomes somehow come to life or if someone in the wasteland that took too much psycho and is having way too much fun with the once whimsical garden ornaments.

6 What Happened To The Rest Of The World?

The original Fallout game and all of its sequels have taken place in America, with Fallout 4 taking place in what would be the future Boston, Massachusetts. And while there is a lot of history and information about the state of America and the government, or lack thereof, when the bombs dropped, players never learn what happened to the rest of the world.

No communication seems to have occurred between America and anywhere else since the bombs dropped and that seems to hint that maybe the rest of the world is just…gone?

5 Is the Sole Survivor A Synth?

Once a player gets closer to the end of Fallout 4 they discover that their son Shaun is now a 60-year-old man working at the Institute that goes by Father. If that isn’t confusing enough he also created a synth of himself as a child in an effort to lure the sole survivor, his father/mother there to the institute.

This alone isn’t the mystery but the Far Harbor DLC adds a question to this story. “Are you sure you aren’t a synth?” is asked by an NPC synth named DIMA. This random line in a DLC wouldn’t be much on its own but if you pair that with the fact that in a terminal at the institute there is a record of all the escaped synths and one has yet to be recovered, with the handle S9-43. Very similar to the code given to synth Shaun, S9-23.

4 What Led to a War on the Moon?

If players ventured to Concord in Fallout 4, they more than likely came across The Museum Of Freedom. The museum features memorabilia and photos commemorating the history of America before the bombs, most of which align with what players know of the post-apocalyptic world. But one particular event might stick out to players as strange.

One of the exhibits mentions that there was a war that took place in the Sea of Tranquility, which according to the game, is located on the moon. A plaque near the exhibit mentions how U.S. soldiers fought a hard battle there to protect America. But this is the only mention of such a war and it leads players to ask, when and why did this happen and who exactly was the U.S. soldiers fighting?

3 The Mystery Of the Dunwick Bores Mine

While wandering around The Commonwealth, players will often find themselves literally face to face with a massive steelhead. The head is often seen being worshiped and it even appears to cause those who go near it to hallucinate.

The steelhead is found near the Dunwick Bores Mine and could explain why the Dunwick Bores company is so interested in mining that particular area but none of the storylines have yet to explain why they are so interested in these statues and where the event came from, besides it being hinted at that the heads are tied to an ancient civilization.

2 Who Is The Mysterious Stranger?

Players who like to use V.A.T.S. in the game will more than likely have come across the aptly titled, “Mysterious Stranger”. He is a man wearing a fedora who pops in and helps shoot enemies before randomly poofing away.

When traveling through Diamond City in Fallout 4, players can choose to help out Detective Nick Valentine, a synth who is obsessed with finding out the identity of this mysterious stranger. Unfortunately, during the whole time Nick is a companion, he never seems to figure out this mystery. And if a notorious private eye can’t solve this one maybe he’s meant to stay mysterious.

1 Who Dropped The First Bomb?

One of the biggest mysteries of all has yet to be solved in the fallout universes is of course, who dropped the bomb that started it all. There are obvious culprits of course, like China, what with the liberator bots, and the numerous terminal entries that talk about the ongoing war with the country. But there is also Vault-tec itself.

The first person you meet outside of your family as a player is a vault-tec representative moments before the bomb actually drops near your house. Not to mention all the nefarious experiments they conducted on vault dwellers.
