Nexus Mods says folks "should be pressuring" paid mod platforms to "do better" if they're frustrated by its new policy on the ever-controversial topic

by

Popular modding site Nexus Mods recently announced an update to its policies on paid mods, and, as ever with the topic that seems very much to be a never ending source of controversy, the response from players and modders was a bit complicated. Read more

Nexus Mods updates its stance on paid mods for the first time since Bethesda's latest attempt at them, says it believes "modding should be a pursuit of passion first and foremost"

by

Paid mods are always controversial. Just look at Bethesda’s latest attempt at creating a system designed to facilitate such a thing having proven pretty much as polarising as its predecessors, even if things have died down a bit since that bit of Starfield Trackers Alliance mission controversy back in June.

Ambitious Fallout 1 remake Vault 13 is no longer being developed

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Stepping outside of Vault 13 in the original Fallout remains one of the medium's greatest moments - finding the decomposing corpse of Ed ("Ed's dead") and realising that the erstwhile explorer didn't get more than few feet from the Vault door is such a chilling moment. Fallout: Vault 13 is - was - a total conversion mod that would remake the 1997 original using the engine for Fallout 4; another fan game, like Fallout London, the New Vegas rebuild project, and Nuevo Mexico that would have been ideal as we wait on Fallout 5. The bad news is that Vault 13's development has now officially been suspended. But you can still kind if play it. Read the rest of the story...

Starfield's design director thinks the sci-fi RPG sits "right next to Fallout and Elder Scrolls" as part of Bethesda's "big three", but that's not really for him to decide, is it?

The actor behind Fallout YouTube's power-armoured loremaster The Storyteller appears to have died, leading to tributes from the Bethesda community

by

Jason Damron, the voice actor behind The Storyteller - the main character of a long-running and popular fan-made Fallout lore video series on YouTube - appears to have died. This is according to a tweet posted earlier today by Damron's account, which uses his online handle Kankennon and is the same one credited in the descriptions of the most recent Storyteller videos starring him. "Hello everyone, I am Emily Damron, Jason Damron's (the Storyteller) daughter," it reads, "I just wanted to share that on Saturday September 7, my father passed away after a horrible year of health. He was diagnosed with stage four adrenal cancer that spread to the liver." Read more

Fallout: Vault 33 just won an Emmy, but what is it?

by

While it might not be the awards you were expecting, the Fallout show has in fact won a couple of Emmys. Not that many people had doubts, but the Fallout show is now Officially Good, at least if winning an award from a long-running awards body is the thing that determines such a thing. It was the 76th annual Emmys last night, where a whole bunch of awards were given out to, mostly, Shogun (it took home 14 all in all, a record breaking total). But the incredibly popular Shogun wasn't the only show to win awards, it couldn't win them all after all, and everyone's favourite video game adaptation this year (it was never going to be you, Borderlands movie), took home two of them! The first is one you probably won't even be aware of as a category, which is Outstanding Music Supervision, an award that goes to the very specific role of music supervisor, who is someone that picks out any licensed music a show uses. Had no idea such a role existed but hey, there were some great picks in the Fall...

Fallout co-creator Tim Cain believes that criticising capitalism was "never the point" of the series, it's actually just the whole war never changing thing

by

Is Fallout supposed to make you think about society? I'd argue that, at its best, it is, with capitalism being an obvious candidate to explore, given the mainline series' unflinchingly corporate American atomic age-inspired setting and the whole resource war that led up to the bombs being dropped. Though, according to co-creator Tim Cain, that isn't the central crux of Fallout theme-wise. The veteran developer has said as much in a comment (thanks, PC Gamer) on the latest video posted to his YouTube channel - which I'd definitely reccomend checking to pretty much anyone who's interested in games and how they get made - as part of a response to a fan asking for his thoughts on reading Fallout "as a critique on capitalist/corporative greed (Vault-Tec and others) and on excessive militarization". "Critique of capitalism was never the point of Fallout," Cain wrote, "In fact, the game went out of its way to mention that other countries like China were also behaving terribly. If anything, Fa...

Fancy spicing up Fallout: London with some Baldur's Gate 3-style randomness? Team FOLON's now put out a dice roll add-on that'll help you unleash chaos

by

Team FOLON, Fallout: London’s creators, have long been open about their desire for people to create mods that put fresh twists on or add stuff to their massive mod, and they’ve now done a bit of leading by example in that regard, with a mod that injects some chaos into your playthrough via Baldur's Gate 3-esque dice rolls. After all, it’s not like British culture and the established dangers of the post-apocalypse are already enough to keep you on your toes as you explore the mod’s massive wasteland. The mod in question is the brainchild of Jordan ‘SunnyDelight’ Albon, Team FOLON’s lead 3D artist. They’re clearly a bit of a TTRPG fan, since their creation - dubbed ‘NAT20’ adds a massive twenty-sided dice to your character’s inventory that they can take out and activate to roll for random outcomes.

Fallout: London sets a new record by becoming the 'fastest redeemed game ever on GOG'

by Christopher Livingston

War isn't the only thing that never changes. Fallout fans never change either: they're always ravenous for more Fallout games. As proof you need look no further than Fallout: London, the wildly ambitious full conversion mod for Fallout 4 that exports the irradiated wasteland from the US and imports it into England. The mod was released on July 24, and players pounced on it with such ferocity that it immediately set a new record on GOG... Read more.
