I guess we play old games partially because we wait for mods to release? So we shouldn’t have to wait for the mods to be old?
Comment on What have you played this week?

does Fallout:London count for patient gamers? Fallout 4 is old, but the mod itself is new. That mod has consumed all my gaming hours so far.

I’ve been wanting to try it, how is it? Is it closer to Fallout 4 or Fallout 3/New Vegas?

it’s been multiple eternities since I’ve played 3 or NV. 4 I’ve played more recently, but that was … basically when the last dlc dropped? So… memory of those games not really the sharpest.
London is mechanically almost identical to 4 (duh? because mod, duh.). The parts of the main-story I’ve done has been great. I recall preferring side and dlc missions over main-plot in 4, but I was pretty into the main stuff (dlc or not) in NV.
some thoughts about it in no specific order:
I recall enjoying all fallout games, some more than others. I mostly mod for convinience (eg. busywork, carryweight) so I’m not really playing the game(s) as intended. And this one is great… if a bit buggy here and there - but not any more so than actual Fallout games. :D
I totally recommend London, but it comes with an asterisk: the mod requires tweaking, and depending on your computer-skills it can be either “man, this is obvious” to “wtf am I doing”. Config-file editing and extra mods are required to get it actually working. Def recommending Mod Organizer 2 as well. Also, if your base fallout 4 (and dlc) are from steam, you need to downgrade from the “Next gen update”. I’m fairly sure there’s good step-by-step how-to’s to get it set up at this point.

Bizarre choice lol, but everything else sounds good. Thanks for the rundown.
