I am pleased to report that if you purchase Fallout 4: Game of the Year Edition on GOG right now (it's 60% off), you get two games in one. In
addition to the full version of Fallout 4, you get a one-click install
of the Fallout: London mod which is a full game itself-!. I just tried it
out and it works great.

Graphics look great. I downloaded the Fallout 4 London installer free
from GOG (you don't have to buy Fallout4)

https://www.gog.com/en/games?query=fallout%20london&order=desc:score



And you can get it for free at overwolf

https://download.overwolf.com/install/Download?Name=Fallout%3A_London&ExtensionId=inclcjmdbjciplpndbddklpeilkdelhdfnklndgi&Channel=web_dl_btn&utm_content=new-light&utm_source=web_app_store

but the link says it contains ads.



On GOG, they're still asking $50 for the 9-year-old Witcher 3. Seems high.

You need the Game of the Year edition. I'm not sure why since I haven't
played it yet, but it's a necessity.

It's still a spectacular game. As I've already said here, games haven't improved much since then. They might look a little better, but there is virtually no difference for most titles other than the addition of
useless politics and gender affirmation in the new stuff.

Is that more than vaguely related to the Amazon series?

You're looking at it backwards. The Fallout series is inspired by the
games, from the first one in the late 90s to at least New Vegas, and is faithful to the lore. If you watch the show, it adds to the engaging storylines of the games and vice versa. Unlike Netflix which completely decimated the Witcher's storyline, Amazon did a spectacular job with
Fallout.

As for Fallout: London, it is a mod of the 4 and looks at how London might have fared after nuclear destruction (which we learned that Vault Tec
deployed themselves to experiment on what would happen to humans in select conditions). The enemies are different, the factions are changed and the technology is also modified from what it was in an American nuclear
wasteland. Obviously, the cultural references are going to be different
and poke fun at the United Kingdom (minus the invaders).

No, I realize the egg came before the chicken but I don't have a reference point for how closely the series followed the game universe or if it went
off on a tangent like 'Walking Dead' or 'Game of Thrones'.

Spoiler Alert: I laughed my ass off in the latest episode where Lucy finds
out about the joys of cocaine and violence of action. The dog's reaction really made the scene.

I loved that too. However, I'm mostly pleased that something that happens
in the games, addiction, is also portrayed in the series. Every single
detail is appearing on television. I'm actually looking forward to seeing
the Super Mutants though I have no idea how they'll manage to produce
them. I'm hoping it won't just be a series of 3D models.
