Devhacks Memes

When game engine limitations meet developer ingenuity! In Fallout 3, the devs couldn't implement rideable trains due to engine constraints, so they created an NPC with a train-shaped hat who walks underground. Players think they're riding a train, but they're actually just wearing a dude like a hat who's shuffling below the surface. This is basically the digital equivalent of two kids in a trenchcoat pretending to be an adult, except it's a human pretending to be a train. Classic game dev hack that shows sometimes the most elegant solution is the most ridiculous one.
