I've been playing Fallout London in its current state (i.e. when it was first released), and I have followed the instructions for the Steam installation, including downgrade etc., and have installed most of the recommended mods (better blood textures, Buffout, etc.) Result: - no feared train crash - overall quite stable experience - yes, there are crashes, notably on some fast travel (Thameshaven market has been the one for me), but yesterday I played for about 4 hours, traveling and fast traveling, entering various locations, completing quests, and NOT A SINGLE CRASH Mind you, this is a volunteer project! I'm now about 25 hours into the game, following the main storyline. About the gameplay: - it is definitely harder than Fallout 4, so I did not go with Survival Mode right out of the gate (and also because of the possibility of crashes) - ammo is scarce the first few hours; it gets better once you fight human enemies more often - the storyline is decent; so far, no crazy twists. The quests feel a lot less generic than many in Fallout 4, so great job on that one to the team! - Settlements: I haven't found one yet. Seriously. So that's a bit annoying, as I would like one convenient place to dump my junk. (Small spoiler: I have been using the workbenches in Thameshaven Market and by the Thameshaven Docks, where the ferryman is, because these are the most useful ones for early upgrades) - Do explore, but be careful. Following the storyline, I have encountered the odd enemy that would have crushed me if I hadn't found better gear while going off track earlier. So keep that in mind. My summary: Fantastic job of the devs, and I am looking forward to the first patch. Possible improvements might be to have beds earlier (Survival mode!), and maybe access to a settlement earlier. (Although I don't know if the lack of access to settlements will make more sense down the road.)
