Summary
An eagle-eyedFallout 4player has noticed an interesting detail about Codsworth in the introduction of the game. This particularFallout 4detail is certain to have gone under the radar for most gamers during their playthroughs.
As a Bethesda game,Fallout 4is crammed with details, and it’s difficult for players to pick up on them all. One player recently noticed aterrifying bloatfly detail inFallout 4, which makes one of the game’s weakest enemies a much scarier prospect. It’s these kinds of details that make repeat playthroughs ofFallout 4so enticing - it always feels as though a new experience can be had, no matter how much playtime a player has in the game.
This particular detail aboutCodsworth inFallout 4was pointed out by Redditor Christofriend. They realized that during the introduction of the game, Codsworth will always display a reflection of the kitchen, no matter where he is located in the house as he goes about his chores. This is actually a common game development technique, where reflections are faked in order to save on performance. While this is less common nowadays when reflections can be rendered in real-time, back in 2015 this was a great way to make the game look great while having minimal impact on performance. It looks strange in this instance because Codsworth is in another room to the reflection, but if most players don’t notice it, then the technique is working as intended.
Interesting Codsworth Detail in Fallout 4
Codsworth remains one of thebest companions inFallout 4. His importance in the game’s opening gives players an instant connection to the character, and he’s still just as interesting to adventure alongside in the wasteland as he was back in 2015. The game’sAutomatronDLC gave players a ton of customization options for Codsworth, making him an even more memorable companion, too. He’s absolutely one of the most iconic characters fromFallout 4, and it’s interesting to see the level of attention that went into creating Codsworth with this particular detail.

TheFalloutTV series has got fans excited again, but unfortunately, it seems there won’t be a new game in the series for a while yet. With Bethesda currently occupied withThe Elder Scrolls 6, it will take a big departure from its usual schedule for a newFalloutto launch any time soon. Let’s see what route the studio takes.
