Summary
After years of waiting, and a fair few setbacks,Fallout: Londonis finally here to give players the sequel that they didn’t know they wanted. As the name suggests,Fallout: Londonis set in England’s capital and offers players a look at what the world ofFalloutlooks like outside the USA for the first time. As a total conversion mod, it is massive, more thanFallout 4’s equal in size, and changes almost everything about the game, but some things never change with Bethesda titles.
Mods likeFallout: Londonare possible due to the Creation Kit, a modding tool provided by Bethesda.
It should be noted that althoughFallout: Londonis big enough to be its own game,it usesFallout 4as a base similar to some DLCs and can be viewed as such.Fallout: Londonisn’t the only massive mod that changes everything in a Bethesda game, with the upcomingSkywindproject hoping to do the same withTheElder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. It is a community-made project that is fully voice-acted and can be played for free, provided players haveFallout 4and its DLC already, and features the same buggy experience everyone loves from Bethesda games.

Fallout: London Offers The True Bethesda Experience In A New Setting
And Does It In A Way That The Series Never Could
TheFalloutseries on Amazon Prime has been a smash hit. It remains true to the world ofFallout, from its inclusion of key factions to its humor and aesthetic. Quite frankly, it is as good an adaption as can be hoped for, but there is one key feature that the series was unable to emulate from theFalloutgames to fully encapsulate the Bethesda experience down to a tee. Yes, the story, world, and aesthetic may be perfect,but the entire show is a bit too smooth, lacking the bugs and glitches that Bethesda is known for.
TheFalloutseries was renewed for a second seasonshortly after the first was released, but there is no official release date yet.
Despite the bugs and glitches, the community has been rather loving with Bethesda titles, often calling them features as a joke. These bugs are expected in a Bethesda title, and most of its titles have received praise in spite of them, which is something that theFalloutseries is unable to emulate due to the nature of its medium. This is not something thatFallout: Londonstruggles to emulate, however,being buggy and glitchy but well-made and creative enough to receive plenty of praise.
It should be noted that the creation of theFallout: Londonmodis a massive undertaking, and the bugs will likely be ironed out somewhat as the game’s post-launch life begins. Having said that,players have reported plenty of crashes during their explorations of post-apocalyptic London, but this shouldn’t be surprising.Fallout: Londonfeatures an additional 35GB worth of content that replaces the base game, and getting it to all play nicely together constantly is an impossible task.

Fallout: London May Be New, But It’s Still Based On A Bethesda Game
Bugs, Glitches, And Crashes Are Guaranteed
At the end of the day,Fallout: LondonusesFallout 4and all its DLC as a skeleton. Mods themselves are known to cause crashes and issues, especially when they start to become the size thatFallout: Londonis. Pair this with a bug-filled base game, and it starts to become amazing thatFallout: Londoncan even run at all. It’s even more impressive when players look at the system requirements forFallout: London, which is much lower than many games being released today.
Bugs shouldn’t take away from howcreative and well-craftedFallout: Londonis. It changes everything about the base game, recreates the heart of London in an irradiated world, and remains as loyal as possible to the source material. It is a massive project made by an incredibly talented team that givesFalloutfans the experience that they didn’t know they needed, with the bugs, glitches, and all that fans expect out of Bethesda games. Quite frankly, it wouldn’t beFalloutwithout it.
Amazingly, without a new official game since the release ofFallout 76,theFalloutfranchise is sailing proudly. A lore-accurate, entertaining, and vibrant show has brought so many new eyes to the franchise, whileFallout: Londonis a brilliant love letter to existing fans, especially the British ones. While the series brings the world to life on the silver screen,Fallout: Londonbrings the true Bethesda experience across the pond, earning immense praise despite the bugs and glitches.
