Why Is Fallout: London On GOG?
A Solution That Was Better For Everyone
Given the fact thatFallout: Londonis a mod, many curious players may wonder why it’s not available on a site like Nexus Mods. The fact of the matter is that it’s simply too big to house on popular hosting sites, which is where GOG comes in.The digital marketplace offered to hostFallout: London, working with Team FOLON to develop an individual launcherthat should render the mod impervious to any futureFallout 4updates that could render it unplayable.
The decision to partner with GOG is undoubtedly wise given that development onFallout: Londonwas previously delayed “indefinitely"after Bethesda dropped the latest “next-gen” upgrade forFallout 4which made the mod incompatible with the current build version. Having a separate launcher will enable Team FOLON to launch without the need to worry about any more surprise patches. Perhaps the best part is that even thoughFallout: Londonis hosted on GOG,it’s still playable for anyone withFallout 4: GOTY Editionon Steamas long asthey downgrade it to a previous build.
Considering the excitement thatFallout: London’s generated,it’s certainly refreshing that playing the mod is as simple as downloading the launcher and pressing a single buttonto run the mod.Fallout 4may feature a wealth of intricate mods but most of them can be painful to execute properly. It’s genuinely wonderful to know that despite all the hiccups, Team FOLON managed to release what may just be the most popularFalloutmod the community has yet seen.
