A Fallout 4 player points up a problem with the Shelbie dialogue

Fans, predictably, reacted to this finding with lots of mocking. Samanthaohm and other Reddit users capitalised on the joke by using wrong spellings of “you’re” and “your” in their comments. Others noted that this isn’t the only incidence of this sort of grammatical problem in Fallout 4, since one of the conversation choices while conversing with Mason includes “Do as you’re instructed.” Needless to say, many jokes were made about Bethesda and its quality assurance.

With the size of open-world games like Fallout 4, it’s reasonable that blunders like these might make it into the final release, particularly if devs are busy attempting to fix more serious bugs. When you combine that with Fallout 4’s 110,000+ lines of speech spread between its various plot missions, side quests, and general NPC encounters, it’s easy to overlook a few minor mistakes.
