That Fallout 76 curiously brings people together repeatedly is likely known to many players by now. One player used the game to create a dream marriage proposal for his future bride in Fallout style together with Bethesda.
This is how beautiful the proposal was: The player and reddit user gibbersganfa proposed to his girlfriend Deana on September 28, 2019. For this, he hid various clues in the town where he lives with his girlfriend.
Diverse Vault-Boy bobblehead dolls and perk cards from Fallout 76 inspired puzzle cards were scattered throughout the town for the future bride to find. In a scavenger hunt, she had to find one clue after another.
Her twin sister helped her to find everything on time. She was informed beforehand. In the end, her (now) fiancé was standing there where they had their first date.
He got down on one knee and made the proposal. The ring features the colors of VaultTec: blue and yellow (sapphire and citrine). She said yes:
Here is the couple: gibbersganfa and Deana, according to his statements, have known each other for seven years now. Although his soon-to-be wife has hardly played video games since the Super Nintendo, he was able to convince her to play Fallout 4.
This quickly became her favorite game, and when Fallout 76 was finally released, they could finally play together. A wedding in Appalachia, as another couple celebrated in the Mothman church, is still to come.
Couple wants to get married – Bethesda helps, community celebrates
This is how the developers helped: To make his proposal come true, gibbersganfa reached out to Bethesda itself for help. He did not expect to receive a response, but the community manager Lady Devann was immediately thrilled.
Bethesda ultimately took over the perk cards and printed them for the aspiring groom.
Lady Devann even thanked afterwards for being asked:
Congratulations again! Thank you for letting us be a part of this epic moment in your life!
This is how the proposal is received: On reddit, players shower the couple with congratulations and make stereotypical allusions with unlocked achievements. The involvement of Bethesda is also admired.
Heartwarming stories are well received in the Fallout 76 community anyway:
