Bethesda fucked Fallout: London. Intentionally?
Fallout: London
- Thread starter The_Proletarian
- Start date
Yeah when this was first announced, I was EXTREMELY disappointed to hear this news.
IMO there's no doubt that Bethesda did this intentionally!
After a whole long wait for it, Fallout London has finally been released. Go get it now TODAY!

Pretty fun mod so far.. wish it had Bawls as a drink
Is it any good? Can't play it, as I don't own any of the DLC.

How are the skills perks implemented?
Is it just copied 1:1 from 4 or did they make some changes?
Any interesting quests so far or just "Kill, Loot, Return"?

I've been playing the mod in survival mode so far, I took Sleepwalker as a trait (Whenever you sleep your teleported to a random spot on the map), And am a Melee Build. So the difficulty has been raised from the get go.
The mod has been very stable for me so far, only a couple of crashes, primarily in loading screens, But I've installed Buffout 4, which is reccomended by the mod creators.
I inevitably installed a quicksave in survival mod because Bethesda's attrocious damage balancing in the gamemode, and there isn't anything to rebalance this mod yet, It has a lot of new weapons and enemies.
I say this because I've yet to explore a lot of the mods Main story.
The Worldmap is a spectacle and its fucking massive, probably the size of... far harbors map? with the density of fallout 4's boston all the way throughout, it feels massive, the actual pip boy map is very accurate and having to zoom into my pip boy map in order to get a good idea of the streets I'm going to traverse is great (I've struggled with this when playing other conversion mods in the 3d games), the primarily urban map that this mod has is one of its great strengths. So far, no settlements, I've heard you can get a couple and some player homes that can be customized using the workshop are in the mod, but I have yet to come across any, I've kept a lot of my gear within an armor workbench at the Vagabonds bar, "The Swan and Mitre". all workshop inventories you come across are safe spots to dump your stuff in the early game, since you don't have a player home, and theres plenty of tiny homes you can find in the streets with a workbench or stove, and a bed that can suffice as a good spot to stay around at.
When exploring, just like PaxVenire said, You'll find spoofs on many real life things, Vaulzon, etc, read the thread. It can be a bit annoying with how on the nose it is (Vaulzon, seriously? Give me Bawls if Vaulzon is a thing)
also this
there's a GOG shirt in the intro dungeon.
But (so far) they've been minor junk items, more so used for worldbuilding which I don't mind, it gives London a uniquess compared to other fallout settings, and theres other less on the nose brands. Irn Brew becomes Ion Brew, And theres some more uniqueness like in the Victoria cigarettes' brand, I'm unsure if that is also a reference to a real life brand (I'm not british)
Their replacement for the Pip-Boy, The Atta Boy is a reverse engineered pipboy made by whatever faction uses that freemasons insignia all over it
I've encountered Wild horses, packs of foxes, Radshrews, a lot of unique fauna has been included in the mod.
The voice acting can be a bit choppy at times, people were clearly hired online and did the acting in their rooms, mic quality changes between voice actor, but the dialogue itself hasn't been cringe inducing (yet, hopefully not) and I can get past non-studio quality voice acting for a mod.
The quests have been somewhat repetitive, the Vagabonds intro questline was annoying because you had to ask somebody to help you with thing, then they'd send you on a small journey, then you'd progress the questline more only to be met with having to meet another gang member and do a minor quest for them
But I've also had some interesting ones, I found a "Cutethulu" doll which ties into a questline, the more I collect of them "the more comfortable I feel", and so far its just been a misc quest in the pip boy, I also walked into a factory in the middle of a worker protest, the boss shuts it down and then hires me to assassinate the person who organized it during his "unauthorized lunch break" (-_-), like an idiot the boss goes with you, to which I then betrayed him for a better offer from the worker and unlimited dog food
Main quest so far sends you in search of a doctor to fix your body after a train crash in the beggining of the game, so your not looking for a family member again
Overall I've been enjoying the mod, its story takes itself seriously, and allows for a lot of skill checks, definetly deviated from the (Yes, No but Yes, Question, Yes but mean) dialogue that fallout 4 has. The world map is amazing, rivals fallout 76 for it's looks, but there's still a couple of floating objects, there's a whole channel they have in their discord to report it. The mod (atleast for me) has been very bug and crash free, stable as hell. Quests have been a bit repetitive so far, but the exploration needed in order to progress has been fun. The devs seem dedicated to fixing as much of the bugs as they can. I can't say much else because I already sound like a massive bawlsucker, but try it for yourself

Spent a majority of my time playing the mod the last couple of days looting a Tesco (Fesco) for hundreds of tin cans for steel in order to craft with, but I'm gonna post some other screenshots I've gotten so people can see
Slept to get rid of tiredness, woke up on the other side of the map.
Here's an image of the pip boy reskin the mod gives you
(MINOR SPOILER)
Why don't people like thamesfolk? (Fish People) I find it interesting that the thames river is so dirty it's created its own mutants, and hey, no FEV BS yet

So no deviant bullshit hasn't been found? No sex with deathclaws? No literal references to memes and other games? No shot for shot recreation of scenes from other games and movies?
Also, damn The Frontier mod came out like three years and half years ago. And still hasn't got that promised overhaul.

What? A Fallout Modding Team that actually created a good overhaul mod without putting their political bias & sex kinks into it? WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT!
But in all seriousness dang, it's already been 3 years since The Frontier was released? Time flies man, time sure does flies.
Still have the release day version downloaded on my pc, but have yet to play it. Probably never will.
Found out later they removed a lot of the deviant stuff, like the deathclussy in later updates.

There was an huge controversy about one of the the devs being a pedo and that a lot of the horny content came from them. And yeah, the mod is pretty much dead since the last update was like january of 2022.
I wouldn't be surprised if the devs of Fallout London saw the backlash to The Frontier and tried their hardest to avoid any of the pitfalls that mod had. God knows we didn't need yet another catastrophe like that one and this is coming from someone that likes a trainwreck and all the circus that comes around it.
Right, I remember that. The cut content section is a good third of America's page word count. I don't particularly appreciate throwing around the word degenerate, but the responsible dev is a sick degenerate. It reeks of fetish and self-insert dreams.
Adding memes is a fantastic way of dating a game and making it age terribly. I'm Looking at you Borderlands 3. At least FL looks like a true passion project made with care. The modding community is slowly chugging along despite the lacklustre care from Bethesda. We won't see a new Fallout game in at least 8-10 years. Lord knows what condition that game will be in.

Borderlands humor in general is really dated. The only one with the least amount of dated humor is the first game and that's only the base game.
I don't mind "cute" references, like "i see what you did there" type. What i don't like are the ones that the game tries its hardest to bring attention to it, to the point of being really annoying.

I downloaded the downloader, but somehow when I ran the installer using Wine emulator the ".local" folder that eventually leads to the Steam folder, the .local folder doesn't show up. It seems to be hidden.

I've been playing it and the worst I've seen for literal memes is one of the presets being Norf F.C. and a random boat on the map being named "Big Chungus" honestly that's as bad as it gets. Its only up from there.
Norf F.c at least sounds fitting for the game
