In the world of Fallout 76, a player has brought to life a character that bears an uncanny resemblance to the iconic character, Saul Goodman, from the award-winning TV series Breaking Bad. Using the game's character creation engine, the player has managed to combine the look and feel of Saul Goodman with the Fallout 76 main character, resulting in a truly remarkable creation.
Fallout 76 is a 2018 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is based in West Virginia's "Appalachia” and set in the year 2102, 25 years after a nuclear war has devastated the planet. In the game, players create their characters and embark on an exciting journey across a vast wasteland, fighting enemies, earning perks, and completing exciting quests.
Two days ago, a Reddit user by the name of borzamania shared an image of their Fallout 76 character creation, which included a clever caption: "They say war never changes, but the law does. That’s why you better call Saul!" The reference is to the spin-off television series of the acclaimed show Breaking Bad, titled Better Call Saul. The show features James Morgan "Jimmy" McGill, who goes by the alias Saul Goodman, as the main character and antihero of the series, portrayed by actor Bob Odenkirk.
In the image, borzamania’s character is still in design mode, yet strikingly resembles Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The character is wearing the traditional blue Fallout Vault-Tech suit and faces the camera with a serious expression on his face. His facial features include Goodman’s receding hairline, long and narrow face, and low-hanging eyebrows. A second image shows the character in a different location but still highly resembling Saul Goodman.

The character is wearing the iconic blue Vault-Tech suit from the Fallout 76 game, and has a serious expression on his face while facing the camera. The character's facial features, including his receding hairline, long and narrow face, and low-hanging eyebrows, are extremely similar to the character from the TV series. A second image shows the character in a different location, but still highly resembling Saul Goodman.
In the comments section, one user named DemonsInTheDark jokingly commented that they "thought that was Putin, not Goodman," while another user named Jonas_Venture_Sr said, "That’s not Saul, that’s clearly Jimmy McGill." The latter user was referring to the animated streaming series titled Slippin’ Jimmy, which is a spin-off of Better Call Saul. It's clear that opinions are divided on whether borzamania's Fallout 76 character truly embodies Saul Goodman, but most users agree that there is definitely some resemblance.
Fallout 76 is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
