    Cool, I wasn't aware of this release. I went to wikipedia to find out more:

    Fallout: London is a total conversion mod of Bethesda Softworks' Fallout 4 developed by Team FOLON. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic rendition of London.

    Fallout: London is set in 2237, placing it between the events of Fallout and Fallout 2.

    Fallout: London has been in development since 2019. It has a main map around the same size as Fallout 4, with its five smaller hub areas combining to be roughly the same size as the Far Harbor DLC

    My first thought: damn Bethesda is gonna get in on this Fallout excitement after all! Followed by: are they going like retro with the graphics tho? Was this a rush job? It seems very HQ tho, big NV vibes—oh lol

    Sad it won’t make it to Xbox, but what an effort.

    The process to access it is really something. If you own Fallout 4 on GOG, it's easy. If you own it on Steam you have to be familiar with Steams' dev console or install a downgrading program into which you put your Steam login, because there's no easy way to downgrade an installed game within Steam. And then go back to GOG to get the actual mod. Not a pleasant user experience, to be sure, but it also gave me a good reason to update my Steam password.

      Do you not have Steam Guard on your account? It's probably my most used 2FA besides my work accounts.

        I do, and a password manager, but even so I didn't really want to leave the password unchanged. Probably overcautious, but it was a quick update and seemed reasonable to do.

            I appreciate it. If I hadn't known about it, it would have been a really important upgrade to protecting my account.

    Does anyone have thoughts on the story for this one? (I know it just "released" but it's had public beta releases for a long time, right?)

      You mean Fallout: New California? I heard that the story really went off the rails. I've just got FO: London installed; I'll let you know how the writing feels after I've gotten into it a bit.

          I've gotten it installed, but ran into a known bug that causes an endless loading screen upon starting a new game. Hopefully someone else can give some feedback regarding the writing.

      Having gotten into it a little bit (boy, the beginning is rough on Survival,) it's surreal. It's very Fallout, but the absence of Americana is more jarring than I was expecting. It's what you expect, but not. I'd give it a try.

        Well, due to it's size and the fact that FO:L's website seems to be down the way to get it is their giveaway it seems. Plus, GOG specifically uses the 'giveaway' language.
