Insert joke about London calling here, as Fallout: London developers Team FOLON have just released the first of the mod’s planned three DLC packs. This one’s called Rabbit and Pork and brings with it 30 new quests, plus a laundry list of that includes a bunch of NPCs, extra gear, and stability fixes.
As we covered the other day, to dive into the DLC and have the least chance of running into any bugs that could be lurking, you’ll want to start a fresh run through post-apoclayptic Blighty.
“This major update doesn’t just add new content, it reshapes parts of the game based on your feedback and fixes thousands of issues identified since launch,” Team FOLON wrote in the DLC’s Discord announcement. “We’ve poured a huge amount of effort into making this the most polished and complete experience possible.”
Rabbit and Pork brings 30 new quests and minigames to the mod, along with 80 new characters for which 8000+ lines of chat have been recorded, I assume at least a third of those being in Cockney accents. Taking a quick gander at the release trailer, among the things which’ve stuck out to me are a mission involving a plane named after Fallout: London’s protagonist, the wayfarer, and a visit to the Jack the Ripper museum.
As you explore, 30 new weapons and armours can be found, along with a new animal follower and a home to move into. 70 fresh random encounters and “new content for early faction introductions” round out the additions, while Team FOLON say the number of bug fixes and stability improvements number in the thousands.
“We’re also unveiling a brand-new custom launcher designed alongside the Overwolf team to simplify the installation process for those who wish to use it,” they add. “This one-click solution will alleviate the hassle of traditional mod installations and get players into the game faster and more reliably than ever akin to the GOG one-click installer.”
In addition, the modders have rolled a number of key Fallout 4 mods that help make the game a bit less likely to crash into this release, so the High FPS Fix, X-Cell and Buffout 4 no longer have to be grabbed seperately. Team FOLON recommend you uninstall them if you’ve already downloaded and installed them individually, to avoid duplication.
To round out the news, the modders have also launched a Kickstarter for a Collector’s Edition of Fallout: London. Something to consider backing if you fancy it in between mouthfuls of rabbit and pork. If you bounced off of Fallout: London the first time around due to its launch bugs, here’s the review I wrote of it for my old home.
