If I say 'Assassin's Creed', what do you think of? A massively popular action-adventure games series? An ancient order of jumped-up killers saying stuff like 'requiescat in pace' a lot? Hooded hooligans flinging themselves off buildings into what are surely not unbreakable carts of hay? Probably. You'd most likely also think of that arm bling they're always sporting - the hidden blades - as they're a really cool bit of kit. And the good news is they've now come to another big open-world game: Fallout 4.
Fallout 4 fan LeahTheUnknown has posted a new mod hilariously called 'A Sassy Creed - Wrist Weapons', which - yep, you guessed it - adds some "wrist-mounted weapons inspired by some other game..." Going by the pictures of the hidden blades, they look really faithful to the real deal, though naturally with a Fallout-style spin on them. Assassin's Creed hasn't yet visited the retro-futurist, post-apocalyptic Commonwealth yet, after all.
There are multiple versions included in the mod to pick from, too. There are three 'wrist spikes', which are small, more needle-like fixtures in rusty, shiny, and glass variants, as well as a concealed blade that has a metallic wrist wrapping, and a camouflaged blade, which "looks like it is camouflaged as army fatigues" and "bears a strange rank chevron". Hmm, wonder what that could be.

Lady Dimitrescu hasn't even hit our PCs yet, and the internet is positively obsessed with the mutant countess. Named Alcina Dimitrescu in full, she's an antagonist in the upcoming horror game Resident Evil Village, standing at 9ft 6in tall and clad in a vintage white and black gown ensemble - and she's been, er, getting fans a little hot under the collar since her first reveal. Such is the gaming world's captivation with her that she's now come to Fallout 4 ahead of her actual debut.
Fallout 4 modder Vtaw has created a very authentic outfit mod based on the good countess, which it seems is based like-for-like on her upcoming appearance in Resident Evil Village (you can get an idea of Lady Dimitrescu in the clip below if you haven't yet been introduced). Her billowing, long-sleeved ivory gown - which looks like it's heavily inspired by 1910s women's fashion - is just as it appears in those gameplay previews and towering bus adverts we've seen so far.
The satin gown cinched at the waist, massive black hat and matching gloves, ornate necklace, and cluster of dark roses pinned to her front - it's a really close match to the real deal.
