As it turns out, with the right name their goal becomes much funnier.
Over on Reddit,usergoogalydoogalyshared their excitement at discovering a unique item that proved The Enclave’s main goal: Eliminate Todd Howard, the game’s creative director and executive producer.
The player acknowledges thatthis hilarious message was a result of naming their character “Todd Howard” upon starting up a new playthroughshortly after the release of the latest update.
