Fallout: London hasn't developed into a Fallout 4-esque hub of new quest and expansion mods so far, and its lead has theories why

  The article never addresses the elephant in the room, which is that Fallout 4 doesn’t have the cultural staying power that 3 and New Vegas did, because it just isn’t a very good game, so there is never going to be as robust of a modding scene.

    The only thing 4 got right was power armor. Thats it.

    Is being the last game Bethesda made not staying power?

      There have also been surges of players because of the show

    Yeah Fallout4 was kind of bad. I played it a lot anyway (sim settlements 2 is pretty good) but the core of it is rotten.

    I can’t let this misinformation slide; fallout 3 is the worst game in the franchise bar none.

      That would be Brotherhood of Steel and it’s not even close

    A quick look at steamcharts alone with dismiss your claim.

      I don’t think that’s really the best metric. Call of Duty from 2022 has 30k current players and 39k peak 24 hours. steamcharts.com/app/1938090

      I think a whole lot of people would agree that CoD games are not great and are generally mass produced, mass appeal crap. But they sure do rack up the sales and players. Just having a large player base does not necessarily mean a game is genuinely good with cultural staying power.

  I’d love to play it, but it’s been pain enough getting fo4 running on Linux and no one had a serious guide on doing London when I tried.

    FYI I had a pretty easy time getting it going with FO4 from GOG via Heroic Launcher. The main sticking point is that Fallout London and Fallout 4 need to be configured to use the same Wine presets since they need to share a bunch of files for Fallout London to work.
