At time of review: Hours played: 106 Characters created: 1 Version: 1.02 ---Bottom line summary: It's hard to believe this is a "mod" and not a professionally made Fallout title. Everything about FOLON has surpassed my expectations. In a comparison with other Fallout titles, this is at least as good in every way as FO3 or FO4. It rivals NV in several instances. This is a worthy sequel, not a diversion while you wait for a new Fallout release. -Does it feel like Fallout? Yes -Is the story, writing, and voice acting good? Yes Most (all?) characters have appropriate accents and use appropriate vocab and mannerisms, characters and factions are believable, motivations understandable, etc. In terms of writing and story quality, this is a lot closer to New Vegas than it is to FO3/FO4. -Does it feel like London and not America? Absolutely -Are the quests fun and not repetitive? Yes -Are the weapons good? Not as good as New Vegas, but better than FO4 -Are the companions good? Yes -...do they still get in your fire lane? Unfortunately yes -Is it big? Yes I don't know the actual stats, but it feels as big as other Fallout titles if not bigger. I'm thorough, not completionist, and it feels like I'm halfway through. -Does it feel finished? Yes There are a handful of locations or characters that feel like they should have more going on, but nothing is blatantly missing, or unpolished, or janky. -Are there bugs? Small ones Fewer bugs than any other Fallout since FO2. No broken quests or severe bugs so far. ----A note on mods I usually run FO4 with 300+ mods; with London I started with 60~ish but have repeatedly removed mods as I didn't actually need or want them after I got a few hours in. Even mods I "always" use aren't needed/wanted in FOLON, and some "common" mods or their features are already incorporated. I'm now down to just 6 mods and might remove 2 more. No matter who you are, I recommend playing without any mods at first, then add some "to taste" later.
