A fan kept a journal for 76 days about how he played Fallout 76 . He then sent it to the headquarters of Bethesda. In response, he received a whole package of great stuff.
What kind of journal is this? The reddit user Shia_Drunkfu came up with a small project shortly after the release of Fallout 76. Shia kept a journal about the experiences of two characters in Appalachia: Shia and Turtle.
He (or she) wrote down everything that the two experienced and adorned it with self-drawn pictures for each day. The journal was kept for a total of 76 days.
In the end, it resulted in a proper, bound version as a notebook with a cover, many pages, and original drawings. Shia published many of these pages in a short photo series on imgur.
What rewards were there? Shia eventually sent this small project to Bethesda. After some waiting time, on the night of May 3rd to 4th our time, Shia received a package. Inside were:
- a Fallout coffee mug
- a Aggressotron as a Funko-POP figure
- a “Sheepsquatch Ate My Brother” poster with signatures from the employees
- a Nuka-Cola Quantum bottle
The “Sheepsquatch” poster corresponds to the posters needed to start the new Sheepsquatch quest line in the game. However, it is highly limited and according to Bethesda, Shia is the first person outside of Bethesda to possess such a poster.
How are other fans reacting? Other fans and reddit users are excited with Shia. They find both the action with the journal itself and Bethesda’s reaction very good. There are congratulations and also a bit of envy over the poster, which many other fans seem to want as well.
Users particularly highlight that they appreciate the actions the Fallout 76 community is putting together. It is nice to see how players take such good care of each other and stand up for something.
The journal itself is also often a subject of discussion. It seems to be received so well that several players and Fallout fans want a copy of it themselves. Shia has already confirmed that the journal is available from a print-on-demand service. It currently costs €26.35.
The Bethesda employee Ladydevann also joined in the corresponding reddit thread. She is happy with Shia and said it was hard for her not to reveal the surprise beforehand.
What do you think of the journal and Bethesda’s reaction?
