There's a rumor floating around today that says that some guys from Bethesda are snooping around Boston, possibly scoping the place out for the next Fallout game. There is a precedence for this, as in the Fallout world Boston, Massachusetts is simply known as The Commonwealth and MIT is known simply as "The Institute," a place of high science that makes androids and the like.

"The rumors are true, Fallout 4 will take place in Boston," someone anonymously posted on Reddit. "In case you haven't heard, Bethesda has recently been scoping out and researching Boston. They also have a strong connection to MIT. I may or may not be an MIT employee. But that's really all I can say for fear of losing my job."

He later clarified his statement further, saying, "Apologies for the vagueness of this post. It's not just my job that worries me, but also getting the f**k sued out of me. Bethesda's contracts are basically full-proof [sic] so if they were to discover who I am, or rather, who I got this information from, a few people including myself could get into a lot of trouble."

His claim was backed up by another Reddit user who said, "I've been hearing reports from people in the Boston area, where my fellow Fallout-obsessed brother lives, that Bethesda has been in the Boston area doing initial research for Fallout 4. It's highly speculative, but the main rumors surround Bethesda's connection to "The Institute," or what we call the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or M.I.T."

So what do you think? Is this BS or could this be the setting for the next Fallout game?
