How I became a prisoner of my own Fallout 4 settlement

Look, I'll admit it: I never finished Fallout 4. Before you get all uppity about that, and gather to organise my lynching, know that I did finish Fallout 3. Twice, in fact. Know also that I really tried to finish Fallout 4 (sort of). And be aware that it wasn't my fault that I didn't. After all, how could I when there was still so much work to be done rebuilding Sanctuary Hills - one of the best Fallout 4 settlements?

Sure, the awkward, towering conglomerate of wood and corrugated metal I constructed was nowhere near as cosy as the House of Tomorrow which once stood on the same location - the building that served as my pre-apocalypse domicile - but it was the closest thing I had to a home.

Don't get me wrong: I was relatively concerned about the wellbeing of my kidnapped son, Shaun. And was absolutely kind of mourning Nora, the recently murdered spouse I had spent five minutes of wedded bliss with during the game's preamble. But I had bigger questions to answer. Questions like: 'what if I could electrify my base and then decorate it with Christmas tree lights?'

Stunning Fallout 4 mod finally makes it feel like a real RPG game

One of the central complaints about Fallout 4, and perhaps Bethesda RPG games generally, is how it partially forces you to play a certain type of character. Your backstory is given to you. Your objective - rescue Shaun - is pretty rigid, and makes freeform exploration feel like a guilty pleasure. If the goal of Fallout 4 mods is to expand, overhaul, and transform the 2015 original, this new one might be one of the best - and throws in some of that classic Fallout New Vegas story building to boot.

Forget Fallout 5, epic Fallout 4 mod Fallout London is out 2023

The epic Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London finally has a release window, and it's out the same year as Starfield. The ambitious mod was announced last year and is essentially a whole new fan-made Fallout 4 DLC expansion. Now the Fallout: London release date is set for 2023 - and there's a cool new trailer, to boot.

While there are a lot of great Fallout 4 mods, Fallout: London is looking like something truly special - and not just because it's set in the UK as opposed to the usual American setting. However, despite the hefty 18-minute gameplay showing in May and having various pieces of the mod already available, the full release of the Fallout: London mod didn't have a release window until now.

Well, that's no longer the case, as the team's new 'official announcement trailer' confirms that Fallout: London is coming in 2023. Starfield and a London-based Fallout in the same year? RPG game fans will eat well next year.

Fully voiced DLC-sized Fallout 4 mod adds 50 quests and a new ending

Back in 2019, modder MunkySpunk uploaded The Bleachers, a Fallout 4 mod that added a new district to Diamond City, beneath the bleacher seats of Fenway Park stadium. It was well-received, becoming "mod of the month" for October on Nexus Mods, and MunkySpunk's been working on an expanded version ever since...

New Fallout 4 mod adds 17,500 voice lines, a faction, and a new ending

Not every Fallout 4 mod is created equal, and this new project channels the often-attempted "DLC-sized expansion with new voice acting" angle and seems to absolutely nail it, with new quests, characters, and even a new ending to the base game as well. If you want an excuse to dive back into Fallout 4, one of Bethesda's best RPG games, this is an excellent excuse.
