It also allows the player to explore pre-war European history and the effects the Resource Wars had on the class-structured society of pre-war Britain.' Is it worth the waiting for, if we live till 84, all we ever get is ghouls. 'This will allow the player to explore an entirely new setting, interact with new post-war cultures and societies, and see a world distinct from the Americana of the mainline games. 'In a divergence from previous official titles in the series, Fallout: London is not set in America,' the description says. The team plans on using a British counterpart to vaults and Vault Boys. FEV would not have reached London, the team decided, which means no super mutants, centaurs or deathclaws, while American company Vault-Tec would not have had a presence in Britain. The website suggests it will feel pretty different from the American Fallouts in other ways. The point of divergence from our existing timeline is apparently around WWII, meaning Fallout: London will have fewer guns than the average Fallout game, with more of a focus on melee weapons. I hope your Oyster card is topped up.Īs for how the mod will work with existing Fallout lore, it's set in 2237, placing it in-between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2. Players will be able to experience 'everything from the heart of Westminster all the way to the rolling hills on the outskirts of Bromley'. The size of the overall mod is apparently equivalent to the vanilla Fallout 4 Commonwealth, and will feature the main London boroughs. I'm a little less keen on the fascist 5th Column faction. In fact, the website lists seven factions for you to discover - personally I'm looking forward to encountering the Camelot Knights, they sound like a laugh. The mod FAQs explain that you can expect much more than just a new location - Fallout: London will also provide new factions, storylines, NPCs, weapons and creatures.

It feels like there are some nods to Britain's WWI and WWII past, with barrage balloons seen in the sky and soldiers camping out in trenches. I'm also a big fan of the Beefeater who's embraced a more Raider-inspired look. There are some really nice touches throughout the trailer: you can spot plenty of London buses, murky tube stations and even a classic London pub.
