Ascended Fanon: Difference between revisions

Line 252:

** Fallout3's Keychain likely drew inspiration from Oblivion's Keychain mod. Before Oblivion's misc. items were all in one place and players would have to scroll through hundreds of keys to get to other misc. items whereas the keychain grouped the keys into one place

*** Skyrim abandoned the keychain in name but there is a section just for keys.

** In ''[[Fallout 2]]'' the potential companion John Cassidy used a generic sprite sheet and had no talking head or voice acting, unlike the most prominent companions, rendering his only description "an elderly man with deep wrinkles along his face" <ref>this was eventually confirmed by writer [[Chris Avellone]] to be due to because the development team wanted a companion to flesh out the Vault City area but wanting something less exhausting than one of the more extensive companion</ref>. Many years later, a fan-made talking head and voice acting for it was included as an optional extra in the game's unofficial patch, depicting him with a distinctive thin, wiry, white beard around his jawline. 2017's ''Fallout: The Board Game'' would include a card depicting Cassidy with the same features as the fan-made talking head.

* ''[[Minecraft]]'' had beta 1.8 leaked to the public early by mistake. Instead of trying to rectify the problem, Mojang decided to have pre-release versions of the next update revealed to the public from now on in the form of "snapshots". The results were twofold: players can get a sneak peek at new features and bug fixes while Mojang gets feedback from the players about the snapshot so they can fix whatever bugs there are before making the snapshot official.

* [[Valve Corporation]] just{{when}} unleashed a massive bit of ascended fanon with a new ''[[Portal 2]]'' DLC. According to the DLC's story, in the ''Portal'' canon there are an infinite number of [[Alternate Universe]] versions of Aperture Science, each one being different in some way. This means ''all'' [[fanfic]]s, fanon, and other fan creations are now canon within the greater ''Half-Life/Portal'' continuity via this multiverse.
