So somebody did a Fallout 4 Enclave mod.

To be honest, I’m probably not going to download Enclave Resurgent, mostly because I am gingerly trying to navigate through the thicket to get a three-faction ending where former Paladin Danse is safely administering my Nuka World possessions for me*.  Also, I have my own half-fanon, half-metagaming theory about the Enclave in Fallout 4: to wit, I think that Bethesda originally intended them to be there, but the game got too big, so they got downgraded to the Gunners. And, also: I’ve noticed that when there’s a certain tone in the description of a mod – a slightly aggressive, somewhat exasperated tone – you can’t really expect good bug support.  And there’s always going to be bugs in mods.

Still, if you’re missing having the Enclave around this is certainly going to give you that.

PS: Short version: the Enclave is the remnant of the old, pre-War US government.  They’re generally schmucks, but they always had good gear.

*The Commonwealth will be too dangerous for him, and Far Harbor is too weird. Nuka World is perfect.

Headline of the Day, I’ve Been *To* Suffolk County… edition.

…so I’m going to say that Google has a point.

The ironic bit?  Many hardcore Fallout 4 players won’t recognize that spot immediately, because we have long since downloaded mods that make the place a bit less oppressively dead. I myself use Fallout 4 Seasons – Summer, which makes the place a whole lot more green and overgrown. It really does make a difference in gameplay.

New Fallout 4 content!

…For Minecraft: …Minecraft is adding a Fallout 4 mash up pack to consoles “soon”. The details mention “the coming days” so you probably won’t be waiting too long for the, wait for it, ablockalypse.”  Fortunately or unfortunately as you might see it, that’s apparently just for consoles. Those of us with Minecraft on the PC aren’t getting this one.  I think.

More importantly: no real news on a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls. As for the latter… I want me some Steampunk. And the Dwemer coming back.  And maybe a pony.

New Fallout 4 & Skyrim content! …For a computer pinball game.

So… people still play computer pinball.  I did not know this.

Bethesda Pinball is the next pinball table set from Zen Studios, the company announced today.

Zen Studios posted artwork today featuring Vault Boy, the mascot of Bethesda’s Fallout series. Presumably, though, a set called Bethesda Pinball would feature tables themed for multiple Bethesda Softworks franchises, such as The Elder Scrolls, Doom, Wolfenstein and Dishonored.

I wonder if that’s what that supposed phantom Fallout 4 DLC slot was for.  Probably not, but then I’m not exactly a professional video game designer. So what do I know?

Fallout 4 mods coming to PS4 after all. *Again*.

I swear to God, I keep reading this story something like every couple of months.  They must love torturing Playstation 4 owners, huh? …With ‘they’ remaining carefully undefined, of course. Anyway, GeekTyrant reports that the ‘pissing match,’ to quote the site (I agree with the site, by the way) is over:

It would appear now that things are smoothed over, but with Bethesda offering little to no detail, it’s not immediately clear who caved. Did Sony stand their ground and Bethesda break hoping to boost Skyrim Remastered PS4 sales, or did Sony relent and let Bethesda release the mods the way they want to the platform? Considering Fallout mods and now Skyrim mods were announced, we can assume that this deal was fairly recent as Bethesda likely doesn’t have mod support ready for PS4.

‘Course, this is of academic interest to me, mostly because I don’t have a PS4 and I’m currently anxiously waiting for more mod conversions for the PC version of the Skyrim Special Edition… Continue reading Fallout 4 mods coming to PS4 after all. *Again*.

The Fallout 4 ‘Fusion City Rising’ quest mod.

Short version? Fusion City Rising is an impressively extensive and remarkably bug-free* mod for Fallout 4, but dear GOD but it is not lore-friendly.  It’s also definitely in the ‘grind’ school, which is fine for me because I’m running a level 100 character for the amusement value – but you might find it obnoxious at lower levels.  I’d recommend that you unpack this one for your characters who have already done everything else and are now looking for an opportunity to go drinking in bars with strippers.

But it certainly is pretty.

*Putting the kid in the power armor is… it looks really weird.

Hmm. Is there another Fallout 4 DLC coming…

…or is this merely a mistake? Or something that isn’t DLC? Or not even from Bethesda?  Many people are wondering, and speculating without any flipping knowledge whatsoever.  As to myself: I want a dang motorcycle.  I’m tired of walking everywhere.  Or a freaking bicycle.  I make nuclear fusion plants out of cans and board games; I’m sure I can make a damned bicycle.

Ooh. Somebody did a ‘clean up Nuka World’ mod.

For Fallout 4‘s Nuka World DLC, obviously.  And as per here:

It’s called ‘Nuka World Glory,’ and it basically throws out all the Raider junk and makes the park clean. I’m guessing that if you want the full effect, narrative-wise, you’ll need to install this mod AFTER you finish the DLC in full Queen of the Girl Scouts mode. It’s not really believable any other way.  …Hmm. Each part of the park really should have its own settlement.  Alas, I don’t make mods; I just consume them.
