"Nothing to to with" is a bit of a strong way to put it. It's not like Beth and Zenimax Online are completely unrelated.

It's much like saying that Wolfenstein: The New Order was developed by Bethesda, or Dishonored, or The Evil Within, Quake Live, Rage, Doom 4...

They're two studios owned by the same parent company and not much more. The very most BGS involvement I've heard with ESO is that Kurt Kuhlmann is often consulted with when it comes to lore.

damnit I read that as Kurt Kobain.  And that's not even how you spell his name, riperoni in pepperoni for me I guess.

oyeah he's also dead.

No, they're quite a bit more intimate than the other developers under Zenimax Media. Zenimax was created by Bethesda back in the day to handle the publishing, and Zenimax Online was then created under the Zenimax umbrella to basically be Beth-but-online. Iirc they all used to share headquarter offices, even.

A nice post pinpointing major locations in FO4's Boston and the location of Vault 111.

What kind of music would you like to hear? More of Fallout 3's style, New Vegas', or something new? As much as I think western music probably fits a desert setting like NV's, I feel Fallout is always sort of a western, so I'd be open to more cowboy tunes. Then again, The Inkspots and gang set very good atmosphere for a bigger city. Are there any artists that characterize Boston?

[Putnam]

boston is not western

i rest my case

[ShoesandHats]

Yeah, but Fallout, regardless of where its set, is fundamentally about travelling from place to place in a barren environment either serving as a lawbringing hero, a snake oil salesman or a bandit. Seems fairly western-like to me. That said, yeah, it might be a bit weird on the East Coast.

Energy weapons far surpass ballistics because energy weapons melt or goo-ify enemies with critical kills.

And then the game never cleans up the ash/goo piles properly and they make the game crash more.

It's never crashed for me.
...without me trying to CTRL+ALT+DEL out to use the Internet, of course.

It was mostly a problem on the PS3 version due to the whole (again) 256 MB of RAM for logic thing.

Apparently, from a very brief look, Boston is known for orchestras and choirs. Having several auditoriums and other buildings for orchestral music.

Old school punk rock. Black Flag, Sex Pistols, Misfits, Dead Kennedys, ya know the stuff.

[Wimopy]

Well... if it is Commonwealth and Institute, I expect two different genres to represent each. Though I have no idea what fits.
Punk and classical music generally don't fit in as the main genre, I think (and punk didn't even exist in the 60s, IIRC).
I guess the FO3 style is returning, judging from the trailer though.

[Putnam]

Punk is from ~1975

Fallout is based on 50s culture

[scriver]

Remember that punk rock ship in San Francisco in Fallout 2?

But yes, if we go 50s culture we'll get beatnicks and mods instead of punks.

Bongo music and accompanying post-apocalyptic beat poetry, then? Though that's more of a New York thing, no?
