Fallout: London learns from Fallout 4's biggest mistakes, aims to serve as "icing on the cake" for the game

Fallout 4

Bethesda Game Studios, the award-winning creators of Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, welcome you to the world of Fallout 4 – their most ambitious game ever, and the next generation of open-world gaming.

Fallout: London fixes and revamps some aspects of the base version of Fallout 4 that players criticised, in order to try and ensure the mod serves as the “icing on the cake” for the game.

If you’re not familiar with it, Fallout: London is a massive modding project that’s set to let you leave The Commonwealth and explore the ruins of the English capital. It’s been in the works for a few years now, with the team behind it having offered plenty of sneak peeks at the interesting factions and locations it features.

Some of the big changes are the ditching of a voiced protagonist in favour of a silent one and the inclusion of more skill checks in conversations, both of which will no doubt go down a storm with fans of New Vegas and the older titles in the series. You can also look forward to a number of more subtle, but very useful tweaks, like the addition of animations from modder Neeher that allow your character to climb ladders and swim in a more realistic fashion.
