Mod:Fallout London/FAQ

Fallout: London is an ambitious, trail-blazing DLC-sized mod for Fallout 4, Bethesda Game Studios 2015 post-apocalyptic RPG. Fallout: London stands apart from its contemporaries and offers an entirely new experience: setting a Fallout game outside of the United States.

What is Fallout: London about?
Fallout: London is an ambitious DLC-sized mod that brings the player into the nuclear apocalypse all the way to the doorsteps of Parliament. The mod encapsulates the gritty, adventurous nature of the Fallout games with a new world, factions, storylines, NPCs, weapons, creatures, & much more! This all comes together in a package tied with an uniquely British bow.

How many series staples will be present in Fallout: London?
That’s a complex question. FEV has not reached London in any way, shape, or form. That means no Super Mutants, no Centaurs, no Deathclaws, and likely a lower amount of Psykers than ever before.

Vault-Tec is entirely an American company, thus it will have no presence in London. We will have a version of a vault, but it will be entirely different from that of Vault-Tec, except that it is a shelter, beneath the ground. So don’t expect Better Living, Underground. In a similar vein, there will likely be a British Counterpart of Vault Boy, in terms of a popular mascot that will make frequent appearances.

What factions exist in Fallout: London?
Since Fallout: London takes place outside of the continental United States, there are no plans to bring back the pre-existing factions. Our main focus is bringing new and exciting factions to London. New factions can be viewed individually by clicking here.

Will Fallout: London be on console?
We do not plan to bring Fallout: London to any platform other than PC at this time. Specific standalone items may be released separately. The community has the permission to convert said standalone items to other platforms.

Will Fallout: London have a voiced protagonist?
After conducting many internal polls and discussions, as well as external research, Fallout: London has decided to go forward without a voiced protagonist. This is due to a multitude of reasons; however, the first and foremost is the lack of content available to us for having a voiced protagonist be in London. The existing voice files are few and far between to be useful. Given that custom lines made from pre-existing lines began to muddle the tone, it proved to be too limiting for our character. We feel, as a group, that our character can be taken along a much more in-depth route by using a non-voiced protagonist. We are completely open to the idea of someone voicing the character later as an add-on mod, but it is not our current concern.

Where does Fallout: London fit in the timeline?
Fallout: London begins in the year 2237, which fits in between the events of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2. This would place Fallout: London a total of 50 years before the events of Fallout 4.

What is the size of Fallout: London?
Fallout: London is comprised of a condensed version of London that focuses around the main boroughs. The world map is about the size of the vanilla Fallout 4 Commonwealth and will let players experience everything from the heart of Westminster all the way to the rolling hills on the outskirts of Bromley.

When is Fallout: London expected to be released?
Fallout: London is in ongoing development that persists due to the sacrifice of the volunteer teams’ free time. We have announced that the official release date of the mod will be in the year 2023. An exact date is not given as it will be ready when it’s ready.

What is needed to run Fallout: London?
Fallout London requires Fallout 4 and all of the DLC. There are no plans to release a lite version as it would require major reworking of our mod.

How will guns in the UK affect combat in Fallout: London?
Fallout: London intends for there to be segments of the game that encourage, or even require, the use of melee weapons. There will be a fair amount of scrapped-together weapons as well, much like the pipe pistols in Fallout.

Will Fallout: London require a new game save?
Yes, a new save is necessary. Fallout: London will take place in a new world with a new protagonist and is completely separate from the events of Fallout 4. In addition, Fallout: London will make critical changes to the base game’s mechanics.
