Notes

The Memory Den’s design is based on the Gordon’s Scollay Square Olympia Theatre, adding an authentic touch to the game’s depiction of the area.
Bugs
- Players may encounter occasional bugs when entering Goodneighbor, such as character animation glitches, which can typically be resolved by simple actions like drawing a weapon.
