Our Design team wanted to offer players a sense of closure to some of the lingering mysteries.

Q: What was the decision to tie together so many side quests for the Costa Business capstone like? How do you hope players respond?Ī: We’ve steadily introduced smaller stories going all the way back to the release of Wild Appalachia. On a conceptual level, the Blue Devil felt in line with the type of mythical creature that would terrorize our unsuspecting Blue Ridge Caravan, eliciting a similar sense of dread as a werewolf. The Ogua had been on our Design teams’ radar for a while, so it was only a matter of time before it crawled out of its shell. We wanted to zero in on the cryptid additions that would offer a distinct experience from our current cast. It almost goes without saying that researching the variety of local cryptids was a lot of fun and presented many viable options. I knew of the Mothman, Sheepsquatch, etc… but what I didn’t realize was how many more there were out there, even in the West Virginia area alone. Q: What went into the process of choosing and designing new cryptids like the Blue Devil and Ogua?Ī: “Cryptids” is a concept I hadn’t fully been aware of until we started working on Fallout 76.
