Behind the scenes

 * During the development of Fallout 3, Fred Zeleny suggested a side quest that involved bringing an archive of old tapes to Three Dog to increase GNR's music rotation. According to Zeleny, the songs added would pull from "audio files you had set in a special directory on your PC or console." Though the execution was "well within reach," Zeleny stated that Todd Howard nixed the idea due to concerns over music rights and not fitting the game's "intended tone."
