"Fallout 4's New England wasteland is full of all manner of abominations. You can now add a mutant snail masquerading as a cardboard cutout of Todd Howard to that list. Twitch streamer Blurbs modded it into the game for his latest playthrough. The scariest part? Let Howard catch you and you automatically die. "It just works." That's a famous line the veteran Bethesda designer uttered on stage at E3 2015 when describing crafting in Fallout 4."
"Blurbs took a snail mod for Fallout 4 and swapped the model with a picture of Howard, with the condition that the player dies if the two ever collide. Easy to avoid because it moves so slowly, unless you aren't paying attention and the Starfield director quietly ambushes you from behind. My favorite part is the low-budget cardboard cutout slowly following Blurbs around the map, even when he's in the middle of a conversation with an NPC."
A Fallout 4 mod replaces a mutant snail with a cardboard cutout of Todd Howard that kills the player automatically on collision. Twitch streamer Blurbs used the mod in a playthrough and uploaded video footage showing the cutout slowly trailing the player around the map. The kill condition activates when the cutout and player collide, making the slow-moving threat deadly if a player is not paying attention. The mod bundle also introduces other chaotic effects such as NPCs randomly exploding and dogs falling from the sky. The persistent, low-budget Howard cutout creates an uncanny, unsettling presence during gameplay.
