question is this set in london US? fake london? or in London europe?(true london). Since we have not any fallout experience outside america. And it would feel strange to have one.
I like the idea of the queen having become a feral ghoul that is kept around just because the Gentry holds the idea of the queen to such a high regard :o
personally hoping that while the queen is there, there is a living member of the house of windsor who can replace her. Only because well for one she is feral but two she isn't alive really. So a living monarch, probably constitutionally there as a Camelot victory position to rule as King/Queen but most of the real power in the hands of the people like real life
@@gdfgaming97 oh totally. I was thinking that it would probably be the prince of wales actually making the decisions (tho offecially the queen would still be in charge) and it could be a super interesting story if there was someone else alive, possibly a decendant from someone else in the family who is trying to take over the crown because having your ruler be a feral beast is sort of insane.
Tbh I wouldn't say unrealistic Brits have a real history of that stuff. Like British officers not ducking in WW1 which from all evidence seems true @@Otto500206
“Bloody hell? Is that a nuke? I’ve had shits more deadly than that, im not moving from my bloody post, those commies won’t move me regardless of what happens”
I actually love the idea of this. In every single Fallout game Ghouls are seen by people almost like second-class citizens, freaks, or monsters. Yet here it seems like it's completely 180. The Ghouls run the country. Everything from the Queen to the Queen's Guard are ghouls. It's such a subtle but unique twist on the idea of ghouls. Sure some ghouls would want to use their immortality to just live life till they go feral, but others would want to take power forever.
Since Desmond on Point Lookout i always expected someone to take the Ghouls for what they really are, people with more than 100 year of experience, who have seen more than anyone and can tell more than anyone. People like that would certainly use it to their advantage
@@Fulcrox That's not how it works. Ghouls can't _chose_ to go feral or stay sentient. Some manage to stay sentient (and even those may later turn into nonsentient hungry monsters), most ghouls don't manage. We've seen in various games that ironically the radioactivity that can heal them can also speed up their brain tissue's degeneration. Yes, there were even a few Glowing Ones that were sentient, but they were the rare exception.
"Yet here it seems like it's completely 180." This is actually straight out of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, or rather the Call of Cthulhu RPG which combined the Mythos writings by Lovecraft and other authors. Fitting, since Fallout 4 is full of allusion's to Lovecraft's Mythos stories set in New England. Lovecraft's Ghouls are all sentient and are living beings (not undead) who feed on corpses, but who seem to be extremely long-lived, living at least for centuries. Cthulhu Mythos Ghouls were even closer related to humans than the Deep Ones: Humans who associated with Ghouls a lot (or practiced cannibalism) could turn into Ghouls; the story _Pickman's Models_ revealed that occasionally, Ghouls switched their rare offspring at birth for human babies, leaving the Ghoul baby to grow up looking like a human and believing themselves to be human (until later in life), while the human baby was raised by the Ghouls as one of their own and gradually transformed. Lovecraft's Ghouls know ways to travel between Earth's Dreamlands and Earth. They had tamed the flying Nightgaunts to serve as steeds and technically knew how to get to other places beyond Earth in the Dreamlands, even though they rarely ventured out into the Void to those other planets. Ghouls in North America and the Dreamlands lived a tribal low-tech almost Stone Age level lifestyle. (The Dreamer Randolph Carter and the transformed Ghoul Richard Upton Pickman in _The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath_ had to explain to a Dreamland Ghoul tribe what spears were used for, which the tribe then used with great enthusiasm on Moon Beasts. They also quickly learned how to steer a sailing ship.) Those on Earth usually dwelt in cemetaries, digging through the ground, and also in abandoned ancient cellars and in subway tunnels. In contrast, the Cthulhu Mythos Ghouls in Europe and Great Britain lived disguised among humans and used their technology (at least in stories set in the 1920s). But those European Ghouls were written by contemporaries of Lovecraft (as he and writers from his circle of friends and pen pals often collaborated on stories, writing stories in each other's universes) and epigones like August Derleth and later generations of writers who did their own spin on the Cthulhu Mythos.
@@TF2CrunchyFrog that and modern fans seem to forget that being a ghoul are literally fates worst then death. There's the deteriorating brain, barley working organs, and the other mutations that can be obtained as well. They are minds in rotting corpses, waiting to eventually go feral or die
"Hey Arthur, I finished that mission- *WHAT THE HELL?!"* "We're knights of the round table! We dance when'er we're able! We do routines, In chorus scenes, With footwork impeccable! We dine well here in Camelot We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot!"
Honestly I like the looks of the Tommies. They seem like decent folk that want to do some good but are held back by the circumstances they find themselves in.
It seems like a faction that is on the fence, protecting both the corrupt elite, and the common folk, and they just need that one push to fall in either direction
Their leader seems like a funny reference to Sir Douglas Haig, who, despite being a total moron, miraculously didn't manage to fuck up the victory for the UK during WWI. Like the faction name suggests, they're not in charge of the situation they're in.
Remind me of the Minutemen. Just ahrd working farmers willing to protect their friends,families and Neighbours for they lack in equipment they deal in duty.
Same here. I'd hope we as the player have the option to join the Tommies, pit them against the Gentry and hopefully bring both the 5th Column and Camelot into the fold in an alliance.
@@hedera_ Google asked me if I wanted to “Translate to English (United Kingdom)” for your comment! 😂 Although it didn’t, it should definitely just say “The Tube”.
This actually looks pretty good. The idea of blending fallout with european fantasy is something id never ever even considered but would whole heartedly welcome. The idea of doing a mini Beowulf themed quest where you hunt down and kill a super mutant named Grendal instantly comes to mind. This could be pretty awesome tbh.
Possible easter eggs for this: Monty Python (especially with Camelot), Peaky Blinders (with Vagabond and/or Syndicate), loicense jokes/stab jokes and other memes about Englishmen, Mr Bean (and all comedy works in which Rowan Aktinson took part such as Blackadder) and Dr Who.
The fifth Coulomb seems to take inspiration from the British union of fascists (often called the fifth coulomb) so their “secret founder” could be Oswald moesly
so basically the gentry: pre war government the tommies: british minutemen camelot: WE WILL TAKE LONDON the 5th column: camelot the isle of dogs syndicate: kind of the gentry's bitch the vagabonds: down on their luck gang angel: british institute i think this is pretty nice summary. in all seriousness though I'm very excited for this mod
Tbh I don't like angel completely from what I've seen, they're too cheesy & over the top (goofy accents & glowing green objects/outfits), they should either be a full on 1984 type CIA/KGB inspired version of post-war MI6 remnants whos goals are to confuse, lie & influence their way into control & peace using you as the master pawn, in which their quests are more of a conspiracy rabbithole than what the institute turned out to be! or... dingy & realistic but still powerful experimenters and scientists (no super sci-fi institute/enclave resources, more like BOS in terms of knowledge/power but way smaller scale) who don't care for outside politics & just want to see results either for profit, a larger end goal, or just for the sake of experimenting.
Gentry: British Enclave Tommies: Minutemen/NCR grunts Camelot: Inverse Legion 5th Column: N@zi punks who can feck off ANGEL: Those who run the Village from the Prisoner
I love how the buildings and factions Look like. The tommies for example construct actual forts from sandbags and wood, instead of living in rubble, much like everyone in vanilla f4.
I am absolutely hyped for this: the vast majority of big fan mods turn out awesome. Enderal, Falskaar, Autumn Leaves…all of these were amazing, but people forget about them and only focus on Frontier.
I mean hey if I can fill ghoulified versions of the royal family (even though half are already dying or dead rip bozo 💀💀) then I’ll gladly reinstall f4
I understand them not wanting to do the queen anymore cuz of her passing but honestly the idea of a ghoulified pre war monarch still running England is so cool
Maybe to avoid problems with this thing perhaps they should have went with something similar to the queen as a ghoul, maybe have a like, ghoul king or something instead?
I hope the Queen is there as just a normal, non-ghoul human and it’s never addressed. Or it could be like the Cabot family where she has an artifact that makes her immortal.
One thing that I find really cool about this mod is the fact that originally the creator of fallout did want to make a game based in Europe during the resource wars where you play as a group of British soldiers stuck in mainland Europe trying to get home to Britian. I think this is gonna be a great homage and it can show Bethesda the amazing possibilities of a fallout setting set outside of America for once. I am super excited about this mod.
Funnily enough I'd say one set in Indochina would be good too! Perhaps throw in some actual friggen magic in somehow... like a 'ghoulified' Eastern style dragon.
I think a fallout game set in China would be cool, it’d be interesting to see the other side of the resource wars, although I doubt Bethesda would do so as to not kick the hornets nest that is modern Chinese politics.
I agree with the Camelot armour thing, I won’t lie tho, I hope if you join them and get to the highest rank you can achieve, they’ll give you a knight themed power armour. Out of all the factions I feel it makes the most sense and I always go with power armour in any Fallout game I play.
Power armor shouldn't be a thing in this baring maybe a 1 off. The first suits were made by the USA during the war with china after eroupe had already colapsed. American suits and maybe some early stage Chinese prototype should be all that exists. If power armor shows up it would lore wise have to be an american suit that somehow got across the ocean or maybe some incomplete prototype british design that never saw deployment
@@vonfaustien3957 I see what you mean, still as you said their may have been an American ship with a power armour that might have been sent to salvage resources, attack or assist as through our history we have had quite close relations. I think if they only have between 1-3 power armours late game it wouldn’t be bad.
As an American, I definitely have an appreciation for games outside of my country. Hell gate London was an incredible game I was hoping they would make more. This looks like it can be a stand-alone by itself
I liked how the ghoul Merlin has an SAS Tan Beret meaning he’s special forces of the ****BRITISH*** army, one of the best spec-ops groups in the world! That’s a bad ass character I’m excited to see!!
@@nicaln5104 np, theres just a rich and important history behind it, whilst all servicemen no matter rank in the british armed forces swear loyaltt to the crown, the British army itself unlike the Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce is technically not a 'royal' force however every regiment, unit and corps that now makes up the British army are all royal units, so the british army technically not being a 'Royal' force itself harkens back to the days of the English new model army which (the british srmy was founded from) which was a famously republican force, when it was disbanded individual regiments were raised by individual people, some swearing loyalty to the crown for example the coldstream guards, and some not, over time as the british army was standardised the only regiments that remained were those swearing loyalty to the crown. On a side note, hate to be nickpicky but the Corps of Royal Marines is abbreviated to RMC its just 'RM' and it really isnt s big enough force to be really identified as an armed service on par with the likes of the RN as it is a small force which is part of the RN unlike how the USMC whilst technically part of the USN has its own standing next to the USN or USAF due to its sheer size
You can't join them, but it seems you can ally with them, perhaps you can influence the Gentry to change their goals, or the Tommies to abandon the Gentry and truly fight for the good of London
@@ntfoperative9432 I want to join Camelot, but just the very WORD 'republic' when referring to Britain makes me want to retch and peel off my skin for how it makes me feel like there's centipedes under it. A balance of power between King and Commons is central to our very identity as Brits and frankly is the most practical, guarding against the worst of America's corruption (and bringing our own brand in its place admittedly, but I'd still consider that preferable). So I guess I'm stuck aiding the Gentry. Well bugger.
Maybe since the Fallout universe's technological advancement went differently from ours that the Queen has access to some super medical tech, possibly derived from Zetan origins, that's allowed her to exist for so long like Robert House.
I like the idea of the Camelot faction using medieval armor; it reminds me of a Fallout cosplay idea that I had involving a partial suit of armor, a gas mask, and a beret.
I think a monarchy or Autocracy will probably the most common states of governance in a post apocalyptic world. The Bureaucracy we live in now, won't be able to function in a destroyed world.
@@DavidSternburgYt afaik (from squaddie mates, idk how reliable they are i guess but they did use the thing in combat) it *became* a semi-decent rifle but was plagued with issues when first adopted & isn't great in sandy conditions either, making it pretty bad given where it's mostly seen use.
I really hope Angel isn’t just the Institute. Angel gives me Mr. House vibes so hopefully the devs are taking inspiration from the better games in the series. All in all this looks really promising and I’m hoping for the best to get some great content for this game.
I'm hoping so too. I find it reminiscent of the Prisoner above all else. Specifically, the forces behind the Village. The kind of authoritarian rule designed to exploit the "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" virtue of English culture.
I hope Angel is the Institute but wrote better. The Institute had SO MUCH going for it, but then Bethesda crumbled it with shoddy writing. Angel could fill the roles of the piss-poor writing, with more fleshed out motives and their reasons for their actions are fully understood.
Tbh I don't like angel completely from what I've seen if our hunch that they are just institute 2.0 [ dimly lit UK edition] is correct, they're too cheesy & over the top (goofy accents & glowing green objects/outfits), they should either be a full on 1984 type CIA/KGB inspired version of post-war MI6 remnants whos goals are to confuse, lie & influence their way into control & peace using you as the master pawn, in which their quests are more of a conspiracy rabbithole than what the institute turned out to be! or... dingy & realistic but still powerful experimenters and scientists (no super sci-fi institute/enclave resources, more like BOS in terms of knowledge/power but way smaller scale) who don't care for outside politics & just want to see results either for profit, a larger end goal (thats properly explained/No institute "you couldn't understand" stuff), or just for the sake of experimenting (as in they are completely detached from reality above & see it as a game)
Good video. Slight correction about the location of the Queen. Big Ben or its correct name is Elizabeth Tower is in Westminster and the other massive building is Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives.
all this time i was amazed by the concept artists artwork, thought he was just a fan... but it turns out he was making Fallout London concept art...amazing
I know right, The concept art is beautiful and amazing! To think it didn't come from a studio is super awesome. Its cool to see how creative and talented everyday people are. I really really really LOVE the syndicate and their suits, awesome peaky blinder vibes. I got to join them just for the suit!
I feel sad for the Queen tho. She in the concept looks like a mad witch. Would be a cool wild wasteland encounter to see her fully intacked like she took a shower, and probably even have her a companion.
@@Swordslinger-hb1ns I wouldn't say that - she's never issued a veto for any of the immensely damaging legislation that's been proposed to her through her entire reign. This is to an extent understandable - if she had, she would probably have "had an unfortunate accident".
@@mr.powell8817 yes it is, and world needs competent rulers not those being chosen by idiots or opportunists who in normal system would never rule. Democracy can only work in competent populations and it should be a direct one. Only Switzerland is like this, the rest are just a bunch of clown nations who should never had democracy in the first place.
I was hoping the queen would be an immortal human. Embracing the meme hood of the queen of our world while also taking inspiration from the occult and supernatural from the Fallout universe.
All I know is that I'm going in hard on a Discworld/Sam Vimes roleplay, and I pray that there are some references to what I consider to be the best book series of the 19th/20th century. Also, you know, very much a British series.
Now, I need a Fallout in every european capital. Imagine a Fallout : Athens or a Fallout : Lisbon, or even a Fallout : Madrid, since Madrid have American Bases, the Enclave could have a cameo.
@@CheeseMan2916 China would be cool, cause there would be many American units and spies that probably survived and would be there, just like the Chinese troops in fallout 3
To be fair, I can't imagine a "Fallout: Berlin". What would the factions even look like? Some punks fighting against the Deutsche Bahn (German Railway) while the Charité (Europe's largest university hospital) became the institute and the heirs of the different political parties are in a 24/7 war to control the Reichstag?
I think the Queen is just around, like she isn’t a ghoul or anything, she just doesn’t die, like after the age of 90 she just stopped aging and she’s just around still. I think it should like hint that in the lore or something but like never explain or get into too much detail about it and basically act as if it’s known and normal, because it is in the real world.
I've got to say I'm quite impressed with their concepts, it's a good collage of British cultural tropes and I think it's very cool. I hope that this isn't just too idealised though because being all this nuance into the game *will* require A LOT of work. This would be an ambitious game for a large studio
They removed the Queen AND Charles which is kinda weird. Hopefully there is still a Monarch inside the Palace running things though. Would hate it to be some bland AI.
This is a super cool looking mod, it just makes me really nervous when ppl announce stuff like this before it’s out. I’ve seen so many cool concepts get shut down cuz the company found out and sent a CnD. Be careful, I can’t wait to play it.
I’m so happy they are doing it in the style of Fallout New Vegas with the factions. Where each are joinable and your choices effect the outcome so much. I love all the gray areas. Wish you could join the gentry though, I hope it’s not another Enclave from FO3 where it sucks you can’t join them. MOST EXCITED ABOUT THE 5TH COLUMN!!!
Really appreciated this video, I'm very excited to get my hands on this mod when it's released. The modders have done exceptional work with it and it's definitely got a genuine and uniquely London feel to it. Honestly think it's more "English" than "Fallout" at this point, and for me that's a great selling point.
I'm interested to dissect The Fifth Column more, curious to see if they're just more of a stereotypical caricature or something not as cartoonishly evil. Guess we'll see whenever the project is finished.
Probably will have some depht to it. But seeing how fallout fans are and their disdain to things they deem absolutely bad, 5th Column will get a lot of things thrown to them.
@@JerichoJulius0 Likely so. I just want fleshed out factions that can justify themselves without the game having to tell me they're evil. If I am to dislike a faction, I want it to be where I personally disagree. You can make a ruthless faction too without making them cartoony. Legion is easily the best candidate for that. As well as Ashur from The Pitt.
True, I like the unique way to approach problems like in new vegas. Its not just; go here, kill a bunch of people, grab something, come back. I love being able to use perks, skills, special stats, low intelligence, high intelligence to solve things differently.
@@henrycrabs3497at least new Vegas much like one and two gave meaningful choices not a genetic binary good or be an ass option. Don't even get me started on the dialogue wheel from 4 or the institute being beyond our comprehension
Fallout has life-prolonging measures available for wealthy and important people, so i dont see why Lizzy couldn't be kept alive by artifical means. Perhaps, like Eddie Winter, she was an early ghoul.
My thoughts on the factions: 1. The Gentry: I love this faction and the concept behind it. The British monarchy surviving beyond the Apocalypse and their decrepit rule still extending into post-apocalypse is something I'm very excited to see. The Queen and Prince Charles seem like interesting characters and I'd like to see them executed well in the game. A bit of humour but not being over-the-top. In addition, while I hate hereditary power structures, I'd be very interested if the Gentries were able to make a logical claim for why the monarchy should be in-charge. Think Caesar's Legion from Fallout New Vegas. 2. The Tommies: I'll be honest, my feelings are mixed on this one. It seems like the "do-gooder" faction without any goals of their own, beside the nebulous and vague goal of "helping people" and very little depth. The Top Brass of the faction being manipulated by the Gentry COULD be interesting to see, i.e. how they resolve the issue of people in power trying to turn them into methods of violence for the state. I'd be much happier if their individual goals (Beyond "helping people") are fleshed out more. Less Minutemen and more NCR. Also where did they find so much WW1 gear and in such great shape ? I'd be much happier with their aesthetic if their armor was a patchwork of soldier uniforms from various time periods, as that would make sense in a post-apocalyptic setting where you have to scavenge to get by. 3. Camelot: Again, I've got mixed feelings about this one. While medieval knights fighting mutants sounds COOL AS ALL HELL, I really hope that's not all there is to Camelot and that they get more substance. Also, I hope the mod devs are able to make sense why medieval armor is doing well in a setting where bullets exist. Perhaps Camelot exclusively fights monsters ? I really hope that "medieval knights in Power Armor isn't ALL that there is to Camelot. 4. The 5th Column (Missed opportunity to place it at 5th place): Even before I knew of it more, the name alone gave my very "fascist" vibes, and statements like "rebuild an empire from the ashes" and "burning the world down to rebuild it in our image" only reinforce those vibes. The leader of the faction is also described as having "a cult of personality". I love it. The mod devs could tell a very interesting story about how fascist leaders use populist movements to gain power, and its consequences. Eva Yani's ascent could mirror the rise to power of figures such as Mussolini and Hitler. This could be incredible if handled correctly. 5. The Isle of Dogs: I don't really have much to say about this one. Sounds like a raider faction i.e. obvious baddies. Would be great if they had more complexity. Avoid becoming like the Talon Merc Company in Fallout 3. 6. The Vagabonds: They seem like a stylistic choice first and foremost. That's not always a bad thing. The Kings are one of the most interesting factions in Fallout New Vegas and they're just a bunch of Elvis Presley impersonators. However, their establishment makes logical sense in the world of FNV. I hope the Vagabonds are the same. Perhaps the leader saw a Pre-War copy of Peaky Blinders (Or the Fallout universe equivalent) and decided to imitate them because he thought they were real. It'd also be great if their goals were distinguished from the Isle of Dogs i.e. becoming London's premier crime syndicate. 7. Angel: Secretive and scientifically genius masterminds with motives shrouded in mystery ? I really hope they turn out like The Master in Fallout 1 and not the Institute. Final Thoughts: I'm excited. The mod is obviously very ambitious and seems like a labour of love. I support the devs in their journey. They have a lot of really cool and interesting ideas and I hope they're able to execute those ideas to the degree of perfection they deserve.
As a Britbong I am so hyped for this. Not since GTA: London, London Racer and The Getaway have I been more excited. Showing Bethesda the *_CORRECT_* way to make new Fallout content 👌🏻👌🏻
been saying it for ages when you reach 100 that letter you get aint one of congratulations but one to give to tell you that your remaining life force will be given to the queen who is actually a lich who devours the old and takes their remaining life force
I really enjoy the Angels, especially since their insignia is actually an altered version of the Freemasons'! It'd make since, especially since the largest and presumably the first Masonic lodge is right within London!
I wonder if the mod will provide some (fanmade) backstory for British-guy-in-exile Proctor Quinlan of the Brotherhood of Steel (Commonwealth/New England chapter), who in Fallout 4 lived on the Brotherhood's airship the Prydwen. Not only did Quinlan maintain the Prydwen's technology -- and may have helped build the airship at Adams Air Force Base? -- he was also their archivist and scribe, and obsessed with old superhero comics. Quinlan also had knowledge of genetics, as he was the one who analysed the Institute samples and uncovered that Paladin Danse had been replaced with a Synth by the Institute. Quinlan also had a cat... one of only two cats in Fallout 4, which led me to suspect the cat was also a synth-animal the Institute used to spy on the Prydwen. (There were hints throughout F4 that many of the animals in and around Boston were synths the Institute used as spies to look through their eyes, for example the ravens around Vault 111 and Sanctuary and those at Diamond City, as a room inside the Institute had a wall of monitors that showed these locales from angles that means the "camera" must be high up or in trees.) And while Proctor Ingram as engineer helmed the project to rebuild Liberty Prime, Quinlan was also down there defending the Boston airport and Liberty Prime if the Institute attacked the robot.
A couple of things I noticed, one was 3:44 'urger Queen' as in 'Burger Queen'...I see what you did there, nice. And at 7:36 Merlin has an SAS cap and badge, another nice touch. I get the impression I have missed more.
I'm subscribing to these guys right now whatever help I can give I'll give to them we need a good fallout mod that completely turns fallout 4 on it's head in a good way
London got off relatively easy compared to the US. Most of the buildings are still intact and the clock that houses Big Ben is still working. There's even a supply of electricity.
Honestly I want to hear the cockney accent lol also I really hope the the 5th Column has BUF ideals, with influence from Oswald Mosley. Not necessarily that they have to be BUF but believe similar to him and his foreign policy from his previous speech’s. For example in one of Oswald Mosley’s last interviews he talked about how Britain lost its empire after ww2 because the warhawks of Europe, and England suffered from it. Or like how he came back from ww1 almost alienated by his country for his and his peers sacrifice. It would be very interesting for the 5th to take a view of “the Rulers of old(the gentry) caused this, and don’t deserve power that they still hold, we must rebuild the English empire for the disenfranchised people we represent.” Kinda like Caesars legion of sorts… they aren’t comic book villains and given the new era of war they now live in, they understand that monarchies, democracies and communism led to the apocalypse and a Romanesque style of fascism is needed to restore order before anything else. Idk just a thought. Personally I envision humanity in the real event, God forbid, following 3 main ideals of economic governance: fascism, communism, laissez-faire capitalism with various true forms of economic approaches. For example a Monarchy that’s Fascist against a Communist anarchical group and a capitalist republic, or Fascistic capitalism with a heavy hand on group morality, A monarch that’s communist after in power causing an oligarchic society, or a monarch that holds power authoritatively yet allows a free market. Idk just ideas. Personally I hate communism and all forms of communism with a deathly passion but when I play a game I can make the choice to side with them if what they are saying make sense in the world they live in without any side being a comic book villain that is just so evil they want to finish off humanity all because of capitalism or fascism or communism, or they are poors etc.

Interesting stuff for those who dont know. The 5th columnist are named after a fascist movement's idea, lead by Oswald Mosley before, during and after the second world war. Also in the artwork used in the video they are sat outside the cable street mural at cable street where the British union of fascists held a rally and a riot broke out and kicked out Mosley and his men so an interesting place for them to have a base
Fallout London factions compared to vanilla Fallout factions: Gentry - Enclave, with some Caesar's Legion mixed in with the Queen and Prince of Wales possibility. Tommies - A Gentry loyal Minutemen group at first, maybe a sort of Brotherhood Outcast + Minutemen faction later if there's an option to convince General Asquith to turn on the Gentry. Camelot - I honestly don't know of a good comparison for this one. I'mma leave it blank. 5th Column - maybe a sort of fascistic Children of Atom? Dunno. Isle of Dogs - a more organized and larger Triggermen faction Vagabonds - less violent Triggermen? Angel - an even more secretive version of the Institute since they don't replace people with synths, with Mr. Smythe evidently being a more twisted version of Father/Shaun
Thanks for the coverage. Very good content! :)

Sure some ghouls would want to use their immortality to just live life till they go feral, but others would want to take power forever.
Since Desmond on Point Lookout i always expected someone to take the Ghouls for what they really are, people with more than 100 year of experience, who have seen more than anyone and can tell more than anyone. People like that would certainly use it to their advantage
@@Fulcrox That's not how it works. Ghouls can't _chose_ to go feral or stay sentient. Some manage to stay sentient (and even those may later turn into nonsentient hungry monsters), most ghouls don't manage. We've seen in various games that ironically the radioactivity that can heal them can also speed up their brain tissue's degeneration. Yes, there were even a few Glowing Ones that were sentient, but they were the rare exception.
"Yet here it seems like it's completely 180."
This is actually straight out of Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, or rather the Call of Cthulhu RPG which combined the Mythos writings by Lovecraft and other authors. Fitting, since Fallout 4 is full of allusion's to Lovecraft's Mythos stories set in New England. Lovecraft's Ghouls are all sentient and are living beings (not undead) who feed on corpses, but who seem to be extremely long-lived, living at least for centuries. Cthulhu Mythos Ghouls were even closer related to humans than the Deep Ones: Humans who associated with Ghouls a lot (or practiced cannibalism) could turn into Ghouls; the story _Pickman's Models_ revealed that occasionally, Ghouls switched their rare offspring at birth for human babies, leaving the Ghoul baby to grow up looking like a human and believing themselves to be human (until later in life), while the human baby was raised by the Ghouls as one of their own and gradually transformed.
Lovecraft's Ghouls know ways to travel between Earth's Dreamlands and Earth. They had tamed the flying Nightgaunts to serve as steeds and technically knew how to get to other places beyond Earth in the Dreamlands, even though they rarely ventured out into the Void to those other planets.
Ghouls in North America and the Dreamlands lived a tribal low-tech almost Stone Age level lifestyle. (The Dreamer Randolph Carter and the transformed Ghoul Richard Upton Pickman in _The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath_ had to explain to a Dreamland Ghoul tribe what spears were used for, which the tribe then used with great enthusiasm on Moon Beasts. They also quickly learned how to steer a sailing ship.) Those on Earth usually dwelt in cemetaries, digging through the ground, and also in abandoned ancient cellars and in subway tunnels.
In contrast, the Cthulhu Mythos Ghouls in Europe and Great Britain lived disguised among humans and used their technology (at least in stories set in the 1920s). But those European Ghouls were written by contemporaries of Lovecraft (as he and writers from his circle of friends and pen pals often collaborated on stories, writing stories in each other's universes) and epigones like August Derleth and later generations of writers who did their own spin on the Cthulhu Mythos.
Just like real life
@@TF2CrunchyFrog that and modern fans seem to forget that being a ghoul are literally fates worst then death. There's the deteriorating brain, barley working organs, and the other mutations that can be obtained as well. They are minds in rotting corpses, waiting to eventually go feral or die

Honestly I like the looks of the Tommies. They seem like decent folk that want to do some good but are held back by the circumstances they find themselves in.
It seems like a faction that is on the fence, protecting both the corrupt elite, and the common folk, and they just need that one push to fall in either direction
Their leader seems like a funny reference to Sir Douglas Haig, who, despite being a total moron, miraculously didn't manage to fuck up the victory for the UK during WWI.
Like the faction name suggests, they're not in charge of the situation they're in.
Remind me of the Minutemen. Just ahrd working farmers willing to protect their friends,families and Neighbours for they lack in equipment they deal in duty.
hehe funny hats
Same here. I'd hope we as the player have the option to join the Tommies, pit them against the Gentry and hopefully bring both the 5th Column and Camelot into the fold in an alliance.

Possible easter eggs for this: Monty Python (especially with Camelot), Peaky Blinders (with Vagabond and/or Syndicate), loicense jokes/stab jokes and other memes about Englishmen, Mr Bean (and all comedy works in which Rowan Aktinson took part such as Blackadder) and Dr Who.
And possibly references to Shaun Of The Dead or any of the Cornetto Trilogy

i think this is pretty nice summary. in all seriousness though I'm very excited for this mod
The Institute, but British Freemasons*
I'm getting 1984 vibes from Angel
Tbh I don't like angel completely from what I've seen, they're too cheesy & over the top (goofy accents & glowing green objects/outfits), they should either be a full on 1984 type CIA/KGB inspired version of post-war MI6 remnants whos goals are to confuse, lie & influence their way into control & peace using you as the master pawn, in which their quests are more of a conspiracy rabbithole than what the institute turned out to be! or... dingy & realistic but still powerful experimenters and scientists (no super sci-fi institute/enclave resources, more like BOS in terms of knowledge/power but way smaller scale) who don't care for outside politics & just want to see results either for profit, a larger end goal, or just for the sake of experimenting.
5th column: facists
Gentry: British Enclave
Tommies: Minutemen/NCR grunts
Camelot: Inverse Legion
5th Column: N@zi punks who can feck off
ANGEL: Those who run the Village from the Prisoner
I love how the buildings and factions Look like. The tommies for example construct actual forts from sandbags and wood, instead of living in rubble, much like everyone in vanilla f4.
I really don't wanna get too hyped for this like I was for the Frontier. I'm excited for it just not over hyped.
I am absolutely hyped for this: the vast majority of big fan mods turn out awesome. Enderal, Falskaar, Autumn Leaves…all of these were amazing, but people forget about them and only focus on Frontier.
I anticipate this and Project Vegas.
After the frontier I feel this so much
@@killgriffinnow I played Enderal and it was fantastic.
I mean hey if I can fill ghoulified versions of the royal family (even though half are already dying or dead rip bozo 💀💀) then I’ll gladly reinstall f4
I understand them not wanting to do the queen anymore cuz of her passing but honestly the idea of a ghoulified pre war monarch still running England is so cool
Here here
Maybe to avoid problems with this thing perhaps they should have went with something similar to the queen as a ghoul, maybe have a like, ghoul king or something instead?
I hope the Queen is there as just a normal, non-ghoul human and it’s never addressed. Or it could be like the Cabot family where she has an artifact that makes her immortal.
One thing that I find really cool about this mod is the fact that originally the creator of fallout did want to make a game based in Europe during the resource wars where you play as a group of British soldiers stuck in mainland Europe trying to get home to Britian.
I think this is gonna be a great homage and it can show Bethesda the amazing possibilities of a fallout setting set outside of America for once. I am super excited about this mod.
Funnily enough I'd say one set in Indochina would be good too! Perhaps throw in some actual friggen magic in somehow... like a 'ghoulified' Eastern style dragon.
I think a fallout game set in China would be cool, it’d be interesting to see the other side of the resource wars, although I doubt Bethesda would do so as to not kick the hornets nest that is modern Chinese politics.
Nah. Keep it in America. You’re just gonna tank what fallout is
Bethesda will never do that, their business model is to keep it simple, casual and cheap.
@@llab3903 I wouldnt mind spin off games outside of America but mainline games should stay in the USA
I agree with the Camelot armour thing, I won’t lie tho, I hope if you join them and get to the highest rank you can achieve, they’ll give you a knight themed power armour. Out of all the factions I feel it makes the most sense and I always go with power armour in any Fallout game I play.
Power armor shouldn't be a thing in this baring maybe a 1 off.
The first suits were made by the USA during the war with china after eroupe had already colapsed. American suits and maybe some early stage Chinese prototype should be all that exists.
If power armor shows up it would lore wise have to be an american suit that somehow got across the ocean or maybe some incomplete prototype british design that never saw deployment
@@vonfaustien3957 I see what you mean, still as you said their may have been an American ship with a power armour that might have been sent to salvage resources, attack or assist as through our history we have had quite close relations.
I think if they only have between 1-3 power armours late game it wouldn’t be bad.

theres no such thing as the "royal army"
@@DavidSternburgYt British Army, forgive me… considering the RAF, RMC, and RN all have Royal as a prefix.
@@nicaln5104 np, theres just a rich and important history behind it, whilst all servicemen no matter rank in the british armed forces swear loyaltt to the crown, the British army itself unlike the Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce is technically not a 'royal' force however every regiment, unit and corps that now makes up the British army are all royal units, so the british army technically not being a 'Royal' force itself harkens back to the days of the English new model army which (the british srmy was founded from) which was a famously republican force, when it was disbanded individual regiments were raised by individual people, some swearing loyalty to the crown for example the coldstream guards, and some not, over time as the british army was standardised the only regiments that remained were those swearing loyalty to the crown.
On a side note, hate to be nickpicky but the Corps of Royal Marines is abbreviated to RMC its just 'RM' and it really isnt s big enough force to be really identified as an armed service on par with the likes of the RN as it is a small force which is part of the RN unlike how the USMC whilst technically part of the USN has its own standing next to the USN or USAF due to its sheer size
@@DavidSternburgYt there should be.
Factions are nice and all but seeing those EM-2’s is what I’m looking forward to.
Right! It's like England went with the EM-2 in fallouts alternate history.
Bugger, I wanted to join the Tommies or the Gentry but I guess Camelot is a good a faction as any.
You can't join them, but it seems you can ally with them, perhaps you can influence the Gentry to change their goals, or the Tommies to abandon the Gentry and truly fight for the good of London
@@ntfoperative9432 I want to join Camelot, but just the very WORD 'republic' when referring to Britain makes me want to retch and peel off my skin for how it makes me feel like there's centipedes under it. A balance of power between King and Commons is central to our very identity as Brits and frankly is the most practical, guarding against the worst of America's corruption (and bringing our own brand in its place admittedly, but I'd still consider that preferable).
So I guess I'm stuck aiding the Gentry. Well bugger.
Maybe since the Fallout universe's technological advancement went differently from ours that the Queen has access to some super medical tech, possibly derived from Zetan origins, that's allowed her to exist for so long like Robert House.
Or even something similar to that strange artifact that was put on that one guys head in FO4
I like the idea of the Camelot faction using medieval armor; it reminds me of a Fallout cosplay idea that I had involving a partial suit of armor, a gas mask, and a beret.
I think a monarchy or Autocracy will probably the most common states of governance in a post apocalyptic world. The Bureaucracy we live in now, won't be able to function in a destroyed world.
I love the inclusion of the EM2 prototype, implying that in this universe it was adopted as the main rifle of the British army
Finally no more L85A2
The official description was “The Yanks said the .280 round was too weak for anyone,,we told them to shove it up their Arse.”
I spotted that too - it's a nice little addition!
@@Themanwiththeplan1899 A2 is a good rifle idk why it gets so much hate, its not like the a1
@@DavidSternburgYt afaik (from squaddie mates, idk how reliable they are i guess but they did use the thing in combat) it *became* a semi-decent rifle but was plagued with issues when first adopted & isn't great in sandy conditions either, making it pretty bad given where it's mostly seen use.
I really hope Angel isn’t just the Institute. Angel gives me Mr. House vibes so hopefully the devs are taking inspiration from the better games in the series. All in all this looks really promising and I’m hoping for the best to get some great content for this game.
I'm hoping so too. I find it reminiscent of the Prisoner above all else. Specifically, the forces behind the Village.
The kind of authoritarian rule designed to exploit the "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" virtue of English culture.
For some reason it gives me a mix of Dr. Who and 1984
I hope Angel is the Institute but wrote better. The Institute had SO MUCH going for it, but then Bethesda crumbled it with shoddy writing. Angel could fill the roles of the piss-poor writing, with more fleshed out motives and their reasons for their actions are fully understood.
Tbh I don't like angel completely from what I've seen if our hunch that they are just institute 2.0 [ dimly lit UK edition] is correct, they're too cheesy & over the top (goofy accents & glowing green objects/outfits), they should either be a full on 1984 type CIA/KGB inspired version of post-war MI6 remnants whos goals are to confuse, lie & influence their way into control & peace using you as the master pawn, in which their quests are more of a conspiracy rabbithole than what the institute turned out to be! or... dingy & realistic but still powerful experimenters and scientists (no super sci-fi institute/enclave resources, more like BOS in terms of knowledge/power but way smaller scale) who don't care for outside politics & just want to see results either for profit, a larger end goal (thats properly explained/No institute "you couldn't understand" stuff), or just for the sake of experimenting (as in they are completely detached from reality above & see it as a game)
Considering the freemason-esque logo, and the connotations that logo has, they're probably some sort of shadow organization
REALLY HOPING. For the Tommy and Camelot. Factions can be allied.
Like minutemen and bos.
Same here brother. That would be quite nice.
They’d probably be the best hope for London
I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wanna go full Tommie but help Camelot.
I hope they can...cause I'm joining Camelot and no one can stop me from swinging a sword while wearing power armor
i doubt it, seeing as though they're very against the gentry and the tommies are just the gentrys bitches from what we know
Love how the iod syndicate is essentially just post-apocalyptic peaky blinders
Good video. Slight correction about the location of the Queen. Big Ben or its correct name is Elizabeth Tower is in Westminster and the other massive building is Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives.
Except in 150 years names can change.

What about the Traffic Wardens with their FAL rifles?

Ahhhh Threads, now that was a post apocalypse lol
I feel sad for the Queen tho. She in the concept looks like a mad witch. Would be a cool wild wasteland encounter to see her fully intacked like she took a shower, and probably even have her a companion.

Fallout London experience
I think the Queen is just around, like she isn’t a ghoul or anything, she just doesn’t die, like after the age of 90 she just stopped aging and she’s just around still. I think it should like hint that in the lore or something but like never explain or get into too much detail about it and basically act as if it’s known and normal, because it is in the real world.
I've got to say I'm quite impressed with their concepts, it's a good collage of British cultural tropes and I think it's very cool. I hope that this isn't just too idealised though because being all this nuance into the game *will* require A LOT of work. This would be an ambitious game for a large studio
They removed the Queen AND Charles which is kinda weird. Hopefully there is still a Monarch inside the Palace running things though. Would hate it to be some bland AI.
This is a super cool looking mod, it just makes me really nervous when ppl announce stuff like this before it’s out. I’ve seen so many cool concepts get shut down cuz the company found out and sent a CnD. Be careful, I can’t wait to play it.

I’m so happy they are doing it in the style of Fallout New Vegas with the factions. Where each are joinable and your choices effect the outcome so much. I love all the gray areas. Wish you could join the gentry though, I hope it’s not another Enclave from FO3 where it sucks you can’t join them. MOST EXCITED ABOUT THE 5TH COLUMN!!!

Really appreciated this video, I'm very excited to get my hands on this mod when it's released. The modders have done exceptional work with it and it's definitely got a genuine and uniquely London feel to it. Honestly think it's more "English" than "Fallout" at this point, and for me that's a great selling point.
Fascinating! Definitely has an interesting hook. I'm glad to see someone can resist the urge to recreate Super Mutants every game

Oh come on, we all know the Queen is immortal. The nuclear fallout just made her look a little… older.
My thoughts on the factions:
1. The Gentry: I love this faction and the concept behind it. The British monarchy surviving beyond the Apocalypse and their decrepit rule still extending into post-apocalypse is something I'm very excited to see. The Queen and Prince Charles seem like interesting characters and I'd like to see them executed well in the game. A bit of humour but not being over-the-top. In addition, while I hate hereditary power structures, I'd be very interested if the Gentries were able to make a logical claim for why the monarchy should be in-charge. Think Caesar's Legion from Fallout New Vegas.
2. The Tommies: I'll be honest, my feelings are mixed on this one. It seems like the "do-gooder" faction without any goals of their own, beside the nebulous and vague goal of "helping people" and very little depth. The Top Brass of the faction being manipulated by the Gentry COULD be interesting to see, i.e. how they resolve the issue of people in power trying to turn them into methods of violence for the state. I'd be much happier if their individual goals (Beyond "helping people") are fleshed out more. Less Minutemen and more NCR. Also where did they find so much WW1 gear and in such great shape ? I'd be much happier with their aesthetic if their armor was a patchwork of soldier uniforms from various time periods, as that would make sense in a post-apocalyptic setting where you have to scavenge to get by.
3. Camelot: Again, I've got mixed feelings about this one. While medieval knights fighting mutants sounds COOL AS ALL HELL, I really hope that's not all there is to Camelot and that they get more substance. Also, I hope the mod devs are able to make sense why medieval armor is doing well in a setting where bullets exist. Perhaps Camelot exclusively fights monsters ? I really hope that "medieval knights in Power Armor isn't ALL that there is to Camelot.
4. The 5th Column (Missed opportunity to place it at 5th place): Even before I knew of it more, the name alone gave my very "fascist" vibes, and statements like "rebuild an empire from the ashes" and "burning the world down to rebuild it in our image" only reinforce those vibes. The leader of the faction is also described as having "a cult of personality". I love it. The mod devs could tell a very interesting story about how fascist leaders use populist movements to gain power, and its consequences. Eva Yani's ascent could mirror the rise to power of figures such as Mussolini and Hitler. This could be incredible if handled correctly.
5. The Isle of Dogs: I don't really have much to say about this one. Sounds like a raider faction i.e. obvious baddies. Would be great if they had more complexity. Avoid becoming like the Talon Merc Company in Fallout 3.
6. The Vagabonds: They seem like a stylistic choice first and foremost. That's not always a bad thing. The Kings are one of the most interesting factions in Fallout New Vegas and they're just a bunch of Elvis Presley impersonators. However, their establishment makes logical sense in the world of FNV. I hope the Vagabonds are the same. Perhaps the leader saw a Pre-War copy of Peaky Blinders (Or the Fallout universe equivalent) and decided to imitate them because he thought they were real. It'd also be great if their goals were distinguished from the Isle of Dogs i.e. becoming London's premier crime syndicate.
7. Angel: Secretive and scientifically genius masterminds with motives shrouded in mystery ? I really hope they turn out like The Master in Fallout 1 and not the Institute.
Final Thoughts: I'm excited. The mod is obviously very ambitious and seems like a labour of love. I support the devs in their journey. They have a lot of really cool and interesting ideas and I hope they're able to execute those ideas to the degree of perfection they deserve.
That flag for the Camelot faction is Welsh rebel Owain Glyndwr's dragon. Also King Arthur, Merlyn and Camelot is a Welsh legend.
Viewing this the day of the queen's passing is kinda hitting weird.
As a Britbong I am so hyped for this. Not since GTA: London, London Racer and The Getaway have I been more excited.
Showing Bethesda the *_CORRECT_* way to make new Fallout content 👌🏻👌🏻
The factions are what I’m looking forward to
Honestly i can't call this just a mod, this is a whole new game at this point
Good job for those working on it, hoping to see more of it

I hope they keep the queen in and her corgis are used in boss fight cause that design is straight up horror film
Figures that Lizzie would survive and continue to live forever as a ghoul.
Meh, like she would need to turn ghoulish to live another century.
Yooo! I can't wait for this mod to be out! So far it's looking amazing!
Are you a millenial?
FALLOUT 1 2 3 NV 4 76. all in one engine.
So many fan games too.
Late 2020's will be a great Era for bethesda games.
Oh you poor naive child.
I really enjoy the Angels, especially since their insignia is actually an altered version of the Freemasons'! It'd make since, especially since the largest and presumably the first Masonic lodge is right within London!
I doubt the Queen is gonna be in it now 😂
They'll cut that content as poor taste or something now she's died
Nah they'll make her overpowered to double down on the joke of "Queen Elizabeth can't die"
You’re right. They scrapped the plans to have her in it.
LMAO THE TESCO BAG AT 0:13
I am definitely gonna aid the Gentry.
I wonder if the mod will provide some (fanmade) backstory for British-guy-in-exile Proctor Quinlan of the Brotherhood of Steel (Commonwealth/New England chapter), who in Fallout 4 lived on the Brotherhood's airship the Prydwen. Not only did Quinlan maintain the Prydwen's technology -- and may have helped build the airship at Adams Air Force Base? -- he was also their archivist and scribe, and obsessed with old superhero comics. Quinlan also had knowledge of genetics, as he was the one who analysed the Institute samples and uncovered that Paladin Danse had been replaced with a Synth by the Institute.
Quinlan also had a cat... one of only two cats in Fallout 4, which led me to suspect the cat was also a synth-animal the Institute used to spy on the Prydwen. (There were hints throughout F4 that many of the animals in and around Boston were synths the Institute used as spies to look through their eyes, for example the ravens around Vault 111 and Sanctuary and those at Diamond City, as a room inside the Institute had a wall of monitors that showed these locales from angles that means the "camera" must be high up or in trees.)
And while Proctor Ingram as engineer helmed the project to rebuild Liberty Prime, Quinlan was also down there defending the Boston airport and Liberty Prime if the Institute attacked the robot.
That explains why I sometimes find ravens that are frozen in place. They're synths that have crashed.
A couple of things I noticed, one was 3:44 'urger Queen' as in 'Burger Queen'...I see what you did there, nice. And at 7:36 Merlin has an SAS cap and badge, another nice touch. I get the impression I have missed more.
Gold dragon insignia used by Camelot is an actual symbol used by the Welsh during the Glyndwr Uprising.
I’m sure some inspiration could be found in a Clockwork Orange for this.
cant wait for the queen to be a ghoul because the queen never dies.
So...Angel is like Mr. House, and Institute with a hint of the enclave combined then? Well in that case i now know who i'm joining then.
the leader of angel definitely gives off big andrew ryan vibes
Angel is literally just the Freemasons
To be fair I'm convinced her Majesty may actually out live me and I'm just clocking my 3rd Decade Lol
.......Of course she's knocking about!!
I'm subscribing to these guys right now whatever help I can give I'll give to them we need a good fallout mod that completely turns fallout 4 on it's head in a good way
The irony that the gallant knights aim to oust the aristocrats is so cool
man everyone of these factions seems to have more character than the Base Fallout 4 factions combined
These are some real interesting sounding factions, likely some good and bad in all of them, part of me is aligning more with Camelot.
London got off relatively easy compared to the US.
Most of the buildings are still intact and the clock that houses Big Ben is still working. There's even a supply of electricity.
Europe was never nuked into oblivion, only the USSR, China and the US were
Honestly I want to hear the cockney accent lol also I really hope the the 5th Column has BUF ideals, with influence from Oswald Mosley. Not necessarily that they have to be BUF but believe similar to him and his foreign policy from his previous speech’s. For example in one of Oswald Mosley’s last interviews he talked about how Britain lost its empire after ww2 because the warhawks of Europe, and England suffered from it. Or like how he came back from ww1 almost alienated by his country for his and his peers sacrifice. It would be very interesting for the 5th to take a view of “the Rulers of old(the gentry) caused this, and don’t deserve power that they still hold, we must rebuild the English empire for the disenfranchised people we represent.” Kinda like Caesars legion of sorts… they aren’t comic book villains and given the new era of war they now live in, they understand that monarchies, democracies and communism led to the apocalypse and a Romanesque style of fascism is needed to restore order before anything else.
Idk just a thought. Personally I envision humanity in the real event, God forbid, following 3 main ideals of economic governance: fascism, communism, laissez-faire capitalism with various true forms of economic approaches.
For example a Monarchy that’s Fascist against a Communist anarchical group and a capitalist republic, or Fascistic capitalism with a heavy hand on group morality, A monarch that’s communist after in power causing an oligarchic society, or a monarch that holds power authoritatively yet allows a free market. Idk just ideas. Personally I hate communism and all forms of communism with a deathly passion but when I play a game I can make the choice to side with them if what they are saying make sense in the world they live in without any side being a comic book villain that is just so evil they want to finish off humanity all because of capitalism or fascism or communism, or they are poors etc.
LONG LIVE THE QUEEN!
Queen Elizabeth: Guess I’ll live.
I’m interested in this as well. I like the idea of one set in the UK.
May the queen rest in peace.
Merlin is wearing a British Special Air Service Beret, not a commando as they wear dark green berets, he low key looks like Captain Price as a Ghoul. God as a British person I'm so excited for this DLC
As a Briton also I'm excited, though I won't be able to play it as I don't have a pc
Can't play for five minutes without crashing but my hour of play over the past four days has been great!
you need a couple of mods! specifically buffout 4 and faster load times, i fixed my game pretty quickly
@@thebigdogg2866 the x-cell folon config reduces crashes to 0 for me, until i get the unofficial fixes mod with navmesh fixes, that gives a fata error crash in 2-3 hours
2:18 Oof that didn't age well
Pretty funny though
It wasn't exactly in good taste to begin with
Interesting stuff for those who dont know. The 5th columnist are named after a fascist movement's idea, lead by Oswald Mosley before, during and after the second world war. Also in the artwork used in the video they are sat outside the cable street mural at cable street where the British union of fascists held a rally and a riot broke out and kicked out Mosley and his men so an interesting place for them to have a base
I assumed it was just a reference to fifth column revolutionaries.
"queen Elizabeth the 2nd may make an appearance as a ghoul"
that aged well
Nah, because she won’t be in the game.
Fallout London factions compared to vanilla Fallout factions:
Gentry - Enclave, with some Caesar's Legion mixed in with the Queen and Prince of Wales possibility.
Tommies - A Gentry loyal Minutemen group at first, maybe a sort of Brotherhood Outcast + Minutemen faction later if there's an option to convince General Asquith to turn on the Gentry.
Camelot - I honestly don't know of a good comparison for this one. I'mma leave it blank.
5th Column - maybe a sort of fascistic Children of Atom? Dunno.
Isle of Dogs - a more organized and larger Triggermen faction
Vagabonds - less violent Triggermen?
Angel - an even more secretive version of the Institute since they don't replace people with synths, with Mr. Smythe evidently being a more twisted version of Father/Shaun
10:50 what a beautiful reload animation, I tip my big fuzzy hat to the animators on this one.
