However, Todd Howard wanted to create aFalloutgame that follows a different path from the rest of the series,Fallout 4. The game was a major success and also fulfilled Howard’s wish, as players can avoid killing most of the enemies in their playthrough.

He acknowledged thatFalloutgames require violence as a means of survival in harsh surroundings. But withFallout 4, he aimed to explore new paths and decided to add measures that could actually allow a less violent playthrough.
