** Even more heartbreaking is how it was just a façade. After the oil shortage, riots, plagues, martial law, and a decade of war with China, everyone probably just wanted to get back to their lives and pretend like everything was back to normal. Then the bombs had to cut that fantasy short.

** Since the [[PlayerCharacter Mr. 111]] is a mechanic of sorts (being able to mod weapons and Even power armor) You might be able to [[VideoGameCaringPotential fix Codsworth up]]...[[VideoGameCrueltyPotential or not.]]

* While the action-pack montage is more lighthearted, borderline on [[Narm narm]], the very last thing you see in the montage is Sole Survivor kneeling next to Dogmeat saying, "It's good to be back." For those who waited so long for another ''Fallout'' game, this can be a TearJerker of a happy kind.

* So here's the game setup, on the day the bombs start falling, your entire family (that is, you, your spouse, and your baby son), flees to their assigned Vault-Tec vault. 200 years later you emerge, the sole survivor of Vault 111. Your spouse dead. Your son dead. Yay! Who wants to explore the wasteland?

* In the gameplay trailer, the newscaster (voiced by Ron Perlman) makes his newscast as in the teaser, but we see what's on the TV when he says it, complete with a dramatic, contemplative facepalm as he says "My god", as he witnesses the end of the world.

* Just when the two choice lead characters are about to be lowered into the vault, they both exchange a final "I love you" seconds before the explosion. It's painful knowing that regardless of whether you play the husband or the wife, the other (and their child) will perish from the bomb.

* Apparently one of the first locations you find when you leave the Vault is your old neighborhood. Godsworth, your faithful robot butler, is there to greet you, rusting and falling apart, and tells you you're 200 years late for dinner.

* This one is more TearsOfJoy, but the very end of the trailer. The dog sees somebody walking down the road and runs towards them. The person reaches out, revealing the Pip-Boy and Vault 111 suit they're wearing, and pets the dog. With Fallout 4 rumors coming and going what felt like every week, it was an incredibly happy moment when people saw this trailer and knew that the wait was finally over. And that last scene, combined with the simple but hopeful music:

It says quite clearly on the page for And The Fandom Rejoiced not to link to it. It is for in-universe examples and the descriptions at the beginning of trope pages only. And the wiki is not about you. Never use \"this troper\" when writing for the wiki. Ever.

Added DiffLines:

** Before that it shows dozens of citizens (including children) panicking and making a frantic run for the nearby vault after the news broadcast announces the start of the Great War. Only a few actually make it inside, the rest (including the above mentioned couple and baby) are left to die as the bombs hit and blow them away.
