Playing it now. I had to buy FO4 GOTY edition in order to play but that was fortunately on sale for £12. Encountered one game breaking bug in the first hour where I had to look at the floor of a train to avoid a crash to Windows desktop after the opening credits. However since then I've had no issues.

They seem to have leaned into the roleplaying elements of the series which I really appreciate. I felt that was missing from FO4 when I played that back on consoles when it came out. I'm not sure if, tonally, London will be a suitable location for a Fallout game given how heavily they lean into Americana - and a specifically American style of Hoover-esque Cold War paranoia. We'll see how it goes as the game progresses.

More thoughts: it is definitely a mod in terms of VA and general production values but the missions have been very good. Seriously impressive effort from this team.
