Now, a player called Maverick_Hiro unveiled their newFallout 76character, which is based on Nicolas Cage. Unlike many recreations which often miss the mark, Maverick_Hiro’s character can be easily recognizable as Nic Cage, and was specifically based on his character Cameron Poe, which appears in the action movieCon Air. TheFallout 76player even used a famous quote from the character in the post: “Put the bunny back in the box.” The post was pretty popular, and it managed to gain over 2,700 upvotes in r/gaming.

Nicolas Cage As a Fallout 76 Character

This is not the first time a player usesFallout 76to recreate an iconic character, though. Last year, aplayer made Saul Goodman inFallout 76. While this attempt was not as perfect as Maverick_Hiro’s accurate version of Nicolas Cage, it still greatly resembled the fictional character played by Bob Odenkirk inBreaking BadandBetter Call Saul.

Despite being an older game,Fallout 4is also often used to recreate famous personalities from movies and TV. Some time ago, for instance, a player createdArnold Schwarzenegger as aFallout 4characterfor their first Survival playthrough. According to the gamer, he was inspired by theTerminatormovies and believed Schwarzenegger was a good fit for their most hardcore playthrough yet.Fallout 4even has mods that allow player characters to use Arnold Schwarzenegger’s voice, allowing for an even more perfect representation of the Terminator.

Unfortunately, the next mainline installment in the franchise,Fallout 5, is probably several years away. However, it is likely thatFallout 5’s character creation will be completely differentfrom previous games in the franchise, considering the expected time gap between the releases, which may allow gamers to make even more realistic characters.
