Fallout London is a Flawed Masterpiece
I have completed the mod and there will be spoilers below. I want to focus on the negative stuff as feedback for the developers (the mod is amazing though): - Technical Problems. The mod is ridden with bugs everywhere with broken quests, broken dialogue and a lot of crashing. A lot of these problems have been fixed with the recent update, but there is far more for them to fix still. By far the worst problem, which they can't fix, are the very long loading times that make playing the mod a slog even if you have a good SSD. - Main Factions (SPOILERS). Fallout London has 3 faction endings. Angel, Camelot and 5th Column. There was supposed to be a 4th, but it was cut and I'll cover that in the next bullet point. From the start of the game, you slowly learn more and more about Angel as you progress through the main story. This is fine and it's what I'd expect. However, Camelot and 5th Column are completely absent from the story until they are very suddenly shoehorned in at ACT 3 of the mod, which is crazy to me. You don't get any time to learn about them, or see them in action. They aren't introduced very well either. Camelot is introduced by seeing random knight NPCs shoot arrows and the 5th Column is introduced through a random robot that has been hacked to spew propaganda. To fix this problem, Camelot and the 5th Column need to be introduced far earlier in the main questline. They must be injected into earlier points in the story and make a constant appearance and have more of a presence. - It's Unfinished. As mentioned above, there was meant to be a 4th faction ending which is the Independent ending (like Yes Man from New Vegas). This was scrapped from the mod for release and is intended to be in a future update. Apparently the mod is full of a lot of named NPCs that have no dialogue because they're intended for the Independent route. If the game is unfinished, I have to hold it against the mod by principle alone. Games should be released finished, period.
